What Challenges Do Recruiters Face and How Can They Overcome Them? Let's Discuss!

Hi,

I just want to know the different challenges faced by a recruiter and how that can be overcome by the recruiter. Can you help me to know that?

What are the different ways to cut the cost of the recruitment process?

Hi Mana,

As an HR professional, I can mention a few of the challenges a recruiter can face. These are challenges to the recruiter; however, they can be overcome with a small amount of tact and by using common sense.

- First of all, it is difficult to match the job description with the bunch of resumes.
- Recruiters face problems in finding the right candidate due to various organizational differences, cultural differences, and attitudes.
- The main challenge for the recruiter is that he/she should be able to relate the job description to the resume of the candidates. This process is time-consuming and complex.
- If you are sourcing from the internet, you will get thousands of resumes for a single position. To reduce the wastage of your time, you can use various search strings to find specific resumes.

I have attached a training guide prepared by me when I was doing internet sourcing. It would really help the talent locators who search for good candidates on the internet.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. Please do reply to my message.

Always be positive and be ready for challenges.

Thanks.

Hi Mana,

Mr. Devender has covered almost all the things in his module. If you are a technical recruiter, some points to keep in mind are:

1. First, check what exactly the requirement is about (which kind of project, what exactly the project needs).
2. After checking the domain of the project, list out what are all the other similar kinds of projects.
3. Then, check what kind of role the requirement needs.
4. List out the keywords for the same.
5. Start sourcing.

Thanks

And many more. I still think that there is a lot to do on this topic. Can you help me regarding it?

Hi,

Answers to my questions are still incomplete. Please share whatever you know about all those questions. This information is going to be useful for many people.

Please help.

According to me, the most difficult part of recruitment in the city of Nasik is hiring senior-level people for the IT industry. In a city like Nasik, people expect more in terms of salary as the cost of living is very low here.

Hi,

The presentation was really helpful. Let me gather some details for sourcing. Is there any other way to find profiles with rare skills? Can I know about any other facilities available for it?

A very useful conversation, in fact.

I am sure that if we are going to apply for a position in a company, we would first learn about the company. Mostly, learning is done by going through the company's website. Companies do have websites where visitors who are in search of jobs can post their resumes. They can be asked to fill in a form that is very clear for them to understand what exactly we are looking for. This includes details like about your previous employer and also on the skill set suiting the job and notice period as well if the resume is shortlisted. I feel it's quite easy for the recruitment team to shortlist the candidates. The internet is a very good tool in getting skilled employees.

Hi Mana,

Present-day scenario involves a high technical revolution in the selection of candidates via the internet or job websites like naukri.com, monster.com, timesjobs.com, etc. Employers can now prefer candidates based on their specific profile tailored to their work domain and experience to fulfill specific requirements. However, it is more important to evaluate a candidate's profile after a face-to-face meeting or interview to assess the candidate's true capabilities.

Hi,

I just want to know the different challenges faced by a recruiter and how they can be overcome. Can you help me understand that?

What are the different ways to reduce the cost of the recruitment process?

1) Fake Profiles
2) Dropouts
3) Candidates not showing up for face-to-face interviews after scheduling
4) Multiple individuals conducting telephonic interviews

Job hoppers pose a significant challenge for recruiters. I am still exploring ways to overcome these issues.

Hi Mana,

Retaining is the most important tool in recruitment. Retaining could be referred to as process knowledge, sector trends, etc. But in this context, according to me, retaining means recording each suitable applicant's details. As mentioned by others, when we conduct a search on job portals, we receive many CVs. Scrutinizing each would take a lot of time, and considering the present state of competition, we can't spend much time just shortlisting CVs. We have various shortcuts to minimize our search, known as Keywords. However, in a few cases, it may also be a lengthy approach, but at least you can reduce the number of speculative CVs.

In Marketing, we have a target market approach that can be used in recruitment as well. We all assess the effectiveness of each subscribed job portal. Out of all the portals used, we can advertise vacant positions on the most browsed or successful portals. We also have references (internally and externally), professional websites like citehr, LinkedIn, etc., which can reduce our search time.

I hope this information will be useful to you.

All the best.

Regards,

Suresh

Mr. Deveder,

You prepared the PPT very meticulously. Mana, I am trying to gather information about the questions you raised. I will try to post shortly.

Thanks for sharing.

In the recruitment process, after sourcing the profiles from the portal, how do you determine if the candidate is genuinely interested in a job change or not? Is there a tool to assist in gauging this during discussions with the candidate? Please provide me with advice on this.

Thank you.
