I have corrected the spelling, grammar, and formatting errors in the user's input. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Thanks, Abhi. These questions are very good. I have found a few answers too. I will complete it soon and then will mail you. It's a great exercise. Whenever I get time, I search for the answers. Thanks, buddy :)

Thank you very much, Vijeta, for your valuable comments. It's very good for all HR professionals. You are absolutely right; it's a great exercise. I have also completed a few answers, and when it is complete, I will email you and post it on the Cite HR platform. I believe the answers to these questions may vary from person to person, so everyone should post their answers (whatever they know) along with comments. This way, we can analyze and determine the best answer.

Thank you once again.

That's true, but I feel instead, you mail the answer or post it. We, all HR professionals, should find it out. I guess we all can do that, and most of us must be aware of some answers. So, I hope now we should come up with answers, not the request to send the ready-made answers. Don't do spoon-feeding. :)

Hello Abhi,

How are you? I am going to join Genpact in an accounts process. I have cleared the Odinate round as well as the online account Test round. I got 82% marks in the online test round. The next rounds will be Face 2 Face and HR rounds. I am completely worried about what types of questions will arise in those rounds. Please guide me. I am awaiting your reply. Please send it to [email]ramancan@gmail.com. Thank you.

Hi Abhi,

It's good that you are sharing your knowledge with us. Although the given questions are not relevant to me, it would be great if you could reply to the basic questions that employers generally ask during interviews. This will help all of us to crack the interview.

Thanks, buddy, for your help.

Hi Nupur, welcome to the site HR. For new and trending topics, go through the "New Topics" link. You can also download the search and use Google search to find more topics. Whatever topic you wish to explore, you can search for it there.

To start a new thread, click on "Forum Jump" and explore the options available. You will find the way to start new threads.

If you want to join someone, send a friend request (options will be there). It's similar to Orkut. Hope you find the answer you are looking for.

Thank you.

Hello Abhi or any Buddy, I'm waiting for a reply from your end. Please help me. I have submitted my query. Maybe the day after tomorrow, there will be my interview with the Manager as a Face-to-Face round. Regards, Raman Can.

Hi Abhi,

No offense, but the questions above are more of an academic nature than for an interview. Nowadays, the concept of competence-based interviewing is in vogue, and gone are the days when we had a stereotypical type of interviewing. I would suggest you frame more of introductory and competence-based questions using the 'STAR' technique, which is used by most companies all over the world.

Regards,
Kavita.

Hi Abhi,

I am a bit confused. Have you posted these questions for an HR professional to be interviewed, or what? Please explain. It would be better if somebody could advise HR professionals on how to ask Sales-related Middle Management individuals. I would love to have your feedback.

Madhukar Sinha

Dear All,

I feel that today's need is for HR professionals to be well-versed and well-equipped when recruiting Sales and Marketing personnel because these individuals greatly contribute to the company's earnings, and they often believe that HR doesn't understand them.

Quick views are welcome.

Madhukar Sinha

Hi Abhishek,

Good post...

What would be your answer for the 5th or 17th question? I have been asked this in almost all the interviews I have appeared for. I am yet to find a convincing answer!!!

Regards,

Premjith

Hi Gaurav,

It's good that you have prepared a set of questions, but I feel that most of these are related to compensation. It would be beneficial to provide the interviewee with a case scenario and inquire about their views on it. Additionally, I believe these questions are more suitable for individuals who have completed their MBAs, and it may not be feasible for graduates coming from an MSW background. Since HR primarily involves people management, the focus should be on the candidate's communication and interpersonal skills. I doubt that many candidates will be able to respond to queries concerning the stock market.

Regards,
Tarun

Dear Abhi,

Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge. This is a significant step you have taken to motivate existing HR professionals and generate interest among those who want to pursue HR. We can definitely learn a lot from you, especially me as I have just begun as a management trainee in HR.

I have started finding the answers to these questions and will post them as soon as I find all the answers. Please feel free to share your answers or views as well. You can email me at poojanayak.22@gmail.com.

I am currently designing an employee handbook for my company. If possible, please help me by providing your valuable inputs on this.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear All,

As you all know, registration under the Delhi Shops & Establishment Act has been stopped by the concerned authorities. Can anyone help me out if the same has been started or not? I have checked with the authorities, but nothing positive has been found so far.

Thanks in advance!

Hi ahhi,

Good work, but I have 2 important questions to ask you here and would be happy to get answers.

1) As an HR Manager, what difference would you bring to an organization?

2) What changes can you bring to the organization for the upliftment of its brand value?

Also, if you could help me with all the answers to all your questions. I have my own company, and this would be of great help as to what to expect.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Dave.

Dear All,

Please find Abhi's posted question in PDF format and try to post answers.

Hello Bhai! Thank you for these important questions. I am pursuing an MBA with a specialization in HR and also preparing for my campus placement interviews. Kindly send me the answers to these questions and some more tips to present myself effectively in the interviews.

It is a very useful question, but I am eager to know the answer to compare it with my understanding in this field. Would you mind sharing it? Thank you very much.

What is a databank in the recruitment process?

Recruitment is the process of selecting the right person for the right job at the right time. The databank is nothing but preserving the total data of an individual who applies for a particular job. The collection of all such profiles is called a databank in the recruitment process.
