How Business Function devastates the Recruitment Vertical. a Great Study.

-
It is surprising to see that these days entire stress in Human Resource Function is improving on Position Closure TAT and giving to business their desired candidate. What is seen is that all the basics of HR have been out looked. Doing this, Recruiters of today’s age are defeating the entire purpose of creation in a different HR Vertical. I understand that there is various pressures on a recruitment to close the position however they need to understand that parallel they have a responsibility of hiring the right fitment. Line Managers and Business Managers will be after the lives to recruiter to get their position closed and hence young recruiter gives in to this pressure without realising that this is part and parcel of the role they are in. You need to be 100 per cent sure about all aspects before you actually take the candidate onboard or even extend the offer. Using this platform, I will share two examples where Business Leader because of their impatience has spoiled the

Interviews...... OMG what a Pain how to appear .. what to say. Such a Trouble. Decoded by Yogesh Nanda

-
This is the time of the year when a lot people after their exams start looking for jobs very aggressively. And the major thought which is bugging their mind is that “what the interviewer will ask” & “what should I say in interview”. Let me surprise and scare you by saying that no matter how well you prepare on questions it is not going to help you. Interviewer is interested in knowing your skills and attitude more than the knowledge as knowledge is a Coachable entity. You would agree to me that there highly knowledgeable students who end up not getting a job and there are students who bag multiple offers with just more than average knowledge. Has it ever left you with the question that “what is it all about”. Some of you may attribute it to the luck factor however being honest it is not that.   It is all about carrying the attitude and ego. OMG what have I written   Attitude , EGO these are very negative words. Well NO these are not. We have been only brought up being coac

Recruiters in Consulting ....Aaaah...... What to say..... Lets talk a bit

-
Name itself signifies to most of people that it is a very challenging job HOWEVER if i tell you that this is most fun filled and learning based job. Would you believe?? Lets talk about it in detail. There are two problems 1. Job seekers have created a mindset that Consultancy jobs have very high pressure and they pay less. 2. Employers have this problem that resources dont want to stick around and desire a lot of salary without justifying it. So the problem only lies somewhere between the expectations of two. Colleges also are a major spoil sport. I have observed students of various colleges in Campus Drives where Students have very different expectations than what actually is going to happen in the industry. Some of the students even said that HR job is all over sitting across table and taking interviews. Either those colleges don't know it themselves or they do not want to share the reality. Listening such things only gives me a great laugh not at the students b

Doing all of this I had met a lot of people and had spent good 3 years without achieving or even starting with anything. Only thing that I had earned was an advise from majority of pe

Job Hunting

-
Job hunting. Lately, what I see, is this has become a large problem; people are troubled with this. They have started thinking that they are not skilled enough to crack an interview, however, the fact is cracking an interview requires no skill at all. All it requires is matching the demand and supply. Let us discuss this in detail. Like I had written in my previous blog, education has become a purely commercial entity and people are not looking at a course based on their skills. People are simply choosing a course based on the average salary quoted by the college in their marketing material. Hence it is clear that skill matching is not happening on either side. Neither is the college evaluating the student for the course nor is the student evaluating the college. This practice only has given birth to the problem of job hunting. Before we actually get into a course we must evaluate that whether we will be able to fit into the role that this course shapes me in or not. Let us

-
The most complex thing today has become interviews and hiring.        Managers do not find a relevant candidate and Job Seekers do not find a relevant position!       To address these concerns, we have started this blog and a YouTube channel , wherein we will keep addressing all these concerns one by one. If you are a Job Seeker or a Recruiter or Hiring Manager, you may subscribe to our blog and Youtube channel.       First off all, I would like to note that the aforementioned line does not , in any sense, mean that there is a problem somewhere . There is only a lack of guided approach. Hiring Managers are mostly the Managers who are elevated to Hiring Manager whether in the same company or outside and have not been coached or trained on interviewing candidates in most Mid Sized companies. They are exceptionally well Subject Matter experts of their own domain and definitely know very well what they need from a fresh resource; however, the problem is, in absence of Interv
