Dear Seniors, In a consultancy scenario where we need to submit resumes to clients, how can we reduce duplicate resumes?
Example Scenario
Requirement ABC is given to Consultancy 1, Consultancy 2, Consultancy 3, Consultancy 4, Consultancy 5, and Consultancy 6. All the consultancies target the same source for recruiting (Job Portals).
There is one resume which is targeted by all the above consultancies. Each of the consultancies calls the candidate, and the resume is submitted to the client by all the consultancies.
Sometimes when we ask the candidate if he has faced any interview with the client or if his resume has been processed to the client before, he/she bluntly denies it.
In this scenario, how can we give a resume to the client that is not duplicate or that has not been submitted earlier by any of the above consultancies?
Please help.

Strategies for Managing Duplicate Resumes in Bulk Recruitment
This situation typically arises when there is bulk recruitment in a company or when the required profile is unique, and suitable candidates are scarce. The following steps are suggested to ensure that the candidate remains committed to your consultancy, even if approached by another consultancy for the same profile:
1. Talk to the candidate before shortlisting his/her resume for the profile.
2. Try to build rapport with him/her and make him comfortable with the new company and profile.
3. Assure him/her that you can arrange an interview and create a positive image with the client about his/her profile.
4. Take a commitment from him/her that he/she will attend the interview if called for.
5. Keep track of the candidate and follow up with a call after his/her interview.
The key is to maintain excellent rapport with the candidates under such circumstances.
