Internship Report on “Talent Acquisition Process of Epyllion Group”

Abstract

This report is a requirement for the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program at Daffodil International University. It is based on my three-month internship with Epyllion Group, a conglomerate in the ready-made garment (RMG) industry in Bangladesh. The internship was conducted in the Human Resources, Administration & Compliance Department, with a special emphasis on Recruitment and Selection. The purpose of this report is to examine and evaluate the recruitment and selection processes at Epyllion Group, as well as reflect on my own experiences and learnings. During my time with the company, I reviewed company policies, observed HR operations, and engaged in several recruitment activities, including job postings, CV screening, interview coordination, candidate communication, and onboarding. According to the study, Epyllion Group has structured recruitment processes for both white-collar and blue-collar employees. As part of the recruitment process, every employee or executive will complete a job requisition, a job advertisement, a CV screening, an assessment, an interview, a reference check, and onboarding. The recruitment process for factory workers and operators typically relies on walk-in interviews, community-based hiring, and practical skill tests. The company still has issues with manual screening, skill gaps, candidate dropouts, and high turnover despite using online resources like BDJobs, LinkedIn, and internal CV banks. During my internship, I received substantial experience on the functional aspects of HR and communication, time management, attention to detail and team work. It allowed me to link theoretical concepts I learned in the classroom related to HR management to practices I participated in around recruitment and talent management. On the whole the internship was an experience that taught me a lot, namely academically as well as professionally. The experience has also reinforced to me my career path and I am now more determined than ever to be a Human Resource Manager with a focus on recruitment, talent acquisition and workforce planning.
