This study examines the recruitment and selection processes at Calibre Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., a leading chemical manufacturing company in India. The research aims to evaluate employee satisfaction with these processes, identify influencing factors, and assess their impact on organizational efficiency. A descriptive research design was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire administered to 120 employees. Non-probability convenience sampling was used, and data analysis included chi-square tests to explore relationships between demographic variables and satisfaction levels. Findings reveal high satisfaction (90%) with recruitment processes, preference for direct recruitment methods, and reliance on internal sources. However, gaps were identified in leveraging HR technology and cultural fit assessments. Recommendations include adopting advanced recruitment tools and enhancing transparency. The study underscores the importance of robust recruitment strategies in fostering organizational success in India’s rapidly growing chemical sector.
