Hello Members,
I am not an HR expert, just been in the field for a couple of years.
First of all I need to apologize to all consultants on behalf of BAD CORPORATE HR people. I had the most wierd experience today.
I am a corporate HR, and we are planning to conduct a training for our garment unit. So before going ahead for final confirmation of the proposal and deciding the date, I was asked to do a reference check by my Managing Director on teh outcome of the training....
I called the HR of Gupta Garments (I believe her name is Rita or Tina) Please see teh dialogues below:
Asha (ME) : Hello, this is Asha. I am calling from a Garment Manufacturig company, this is regarding...
Tina: Stop...what you want? call me after half an hour okay. DOnt disturb me
...after half an hour...
Asha: Hi Ma'am, I called you a while ago.
Tina: Look I dont want your service. Keep the phone. Please dont call..
Good she was not in front of me. That lady did not even have the least courtesy to listen to what I am trying to say... Finally I had to talk to the Managing Director Mr. Puneet Gupta - a very Professional person. I told him that I was seeking his reference on the Training institute and whether he would recommend us also to go in for it..He is a very well mannered, professional, down to earth person
I finally called Tina and told her (even b4 she could say something) That I have spoken to Mr. Punnet.. She knew then how to handle the call professionally after that.
-----------
I understand all Recruitment consultants must be going through the same thing... I believe professional HR's don't respond this way.
However tip from my end is: Just let them know if you will have to talk to the Managing Director (Just in case they try to act smart) They will keep quiet.
Second Wierd Experience:
I had to an employee background check with Premier Evolvics - a reputed Organization. Each time I try calling they used to say HR is away, HR is on leave..
Today I got a response HR is on another call... I told the operator that getting this info is my job and I don't mind even staying on hold for the whole day.. he directed me to her number. The HR lady there (Deepa), gave me the weirdest response "Ya, this is a waste of time for me. I don't like giving old employee details"
What an HR?
I should have not mentioned the names... But I feel people (who so ever - Corporate or Consultant) needs to be professional. After all, we are employees and representing our company, we should not spoil the image of the company.
Gupta Garments is a well-known garments company and I would definitely say its a good Management (Specifically to mention abt Mr. Puneet Gupta) ..but people in the lower level and spoiling the image like anything.
Premier evolves too is a reputed company and trust me anyone would like to work there - but such kind of people in the low level, literally spoil the image.
If people at the lower levels are not approachable... no one will have a good opinion about the company itself.
