How Do You Spot a Genuine Candidate from a Resume Before Sending It to Clients?

Hi all,

Can you tell me how you will evaluate the candidate by reviewing his resume or by speaking with him to determine whether the person is genuine or a fake candidate before sending the resume to the client?

Hi Radhika,

Regarding the profiles you receive from job portals, it is rather difficult to judge. However, if you have a strong command of your domain knowledge, you can effectively assess candidates by probing and asking questions related to their field. This approach can help you determine whether they are providing accurate information or if their profiles are more of a cut-and-paste nature. Based on your assessment, you can then decide whether to proceed with the candidate.

Hi Radhika,

It seems like you are finding candidates but finding it difficult to position them. It's simple - read the resume thoroughly first, understand the type of job they are currently doing, and the responsibilities they are handling. While conversing with the candidate, you can ask about the projects they have worked on. Pay attention not only to the company they work for but also to the client they are working for. Inquire about their interests and whether they wish to continue with the same profile.

Ultimately, it is up to you to judge whether the candidate is the right fit or not. This is where HR plays a crucial role. Ensure you know how to conduct telephonic interviews, what questions to ask, and what to avoid. Stay attentive to what the candidate is communicating.

Give this approach a try. If you believe any of my suggestions are incorrect, please reply to me.
