Many Companies in India prefer to hire candidates through walk in interview. Walk in interviews have a lot of advantages and are conducted by almost every week by many IT companies.
Reason Employers Conduct Walk in Interviews are as follow:-
Bulk Recruitment - Employers mainly conduct walkin when the number to candidates to be hired are in huge numbers. Candidates come in big number and complete the process on the same day.
Instant Hiring - Candidates who walkin for interview are mostly given the offer letter on the same day. This is beneficial for both i.e Employers complete the hiring process in one day and for candidates as they get the job confirmation on the same day.
Low Recruitment Cost - Since the hiring is done in bulk, the cost of hiring per candidate is less. Many times companies advertise for job walkin at multiple locations in one single advertisement which also helps in reducing the cost.
Quality Resources - Walkins are conducted mainly on weekend; so a lot of candidates who are working for Multi National Companies can make it for the interview, since they have an off on weekends. Therefore skilled and talented candidates who would not be able to make it on week days due to job commitment can walkin for interviews on weekends.
Systematic Hiring Process - The hiring process for a walkin interview can be streamlined in advance. Companies shortlist the candidates on the basis of Educational Qualification, then a written test, technical round of interview and then the final HR negotiations. This process helps them to filter the unwanted candidates and get the most suitable candidates at the end of the day.
Better Offer to Joining Ratio - Many employers have experienced a good number of candidates joining the company who were offered during walkin interview. This could be due to the reason as candidates feel comfortable joining the new job where there are many others joining the same day, same project and at the same level.
As India is becoming one of the major IT hub, many software companies conduct walkins in Bangalore almost on every weekend.
