Struggling to Find the Right Candidates in ITES? Let's Share Sourcing Tips!

Hi,

I am pursuing MBA (2nd year). I am doing an internship in a consultancy where I do recruitment. The problem I am facing is finding the right source. We are using job portals but still failing to get closures, especially in ITES where headhunting is tough. Can you please help me find the right source for the right candidates?

Dear Amurtha,

I suggest going out to meet with placement consultants and initiating an Employee Referral Program. This program would involve offering employees a cash benefit for each referred candidate who is selected.

Hi Amrutha,

In ITES, even if you have access to job portals and their databases, it is not easy to source candidates unless you work smartly.

1. Learn how to use the portals and their value-added features. For example, you can send mailers to potential candidates in one go and receive responses.
2. Take references from the candidates you have contacted.
3. Post ads on the portals.
4. Lastly, try to determine if the candidate is genuinely interested or not.

Hi Amrutha,

You need to be familiar with the Full Life Cycle of Recruitment. The recruitment process in IT, ITES, and Non-IT sectors is essentially the same. Once you receive the requirement from clients, follow these steps:

1. Review the requirement thoroughly.
2. Send out mass mailings through job portals.
3. Post the job on all relevant portals.
4. Perform direct validation.
5. Obtain references from candidates.
6. Engage in headhunting.

Headhunting plays a crucial role in recruitment. Prioritize headhunting as it will greatly assist you in finding the ideal candidate.
