Recruitment At A Glance

Professional recruitment entails the process of attracting

, screening, and selecting a qualified person for a job, particularly for senior recruitment. Searching, selecting and zeroing in on the right person for the job is vital to any recruitment process. Being a specialized service that requires efficiency and effectiveness, recruitment consulting firms and recruitment consultants are used by large and small companies to fill various positions in their organizations.

The recruitment industry consists of 4 types of organisations- recruitment consulting firms , executive search firms (sometimes referred to as headhunters), job portals and Recruitment Process Outsourcing firms. Some companies prefer to use in-house recruiters rather than hiring an external agency, with a department in the company being trained and specialized to handle the recruitment process.

One of the key challenges is to identify & source relevant profiles & resumes. To source potential candidates, a recruitment consultant will advertise through traditional or new age media with a trend shifting towards recruitment through job portals.

Online job portals have become the way of life when it comes to job search for most job seekers in India. Employers and recruiters also perceive job portals as one of the most cost-effective methods of sourcing candidates for a job opening in their organisation. A typical job portal for senior professionals has an employer or a recruiter post a senior role on the portal. Interested applicants apply to the job when they are sure it meets their preferences. In addition, employers actively search and shortlist resumes from the database of updated profiles to fill future job openings. Potential candidates are screened to ensure their qualifications and experience meet the requirements of the position. Once this is done, the candidate is put through various tests and interviews. The recruiter selects the best candidate based on these and once a candidate is found suitable for the job, the candidate is contacted and offered the job. The position comes to its closure once the candidate accepts the offer.

The process of recruitment does not end with the candidate accepting the offer. The recruitment agency or the hiring employer follows up with the hiring company to ensure that the candidate is able to work in the new position effectively. This process is essential to determine the effectiveness of the recruitment agency as to how the candidate is faring in the new job. This evaluation helps to ascertain whether the process of recruitment has been fulfilling or not and this also directly establishes the worth of the recruitment agency.

Like previously stated, recruitment has an important role to play of finding the right person for the right job. Finding the best possible candidate to fill important positions in an organization establishes an agencies worth and helps the company,s to hire good quality candidature.
