Have You Successfully Hired HR Professionals from This Forum? Share Your Experience!

A lot of people post for jobs in this forum. Have you ever recruited HR professionals here? What is the quality of candidates that you get? Has it ever worked out for someone? I would like to know if there are any "success stories."

"They are rare and are gems;"

Maybe true. But what are the criteria? I think the thread starter wants to know which seeker got what with what background, meaning eligibility, qualification, experience, and placement with package. I think by 'success stories' he means this.

I am not talking about recruiting people from this site. I am referring to the fact that there are very few and rare members who have excellent knowledge in HR and are always ready to help others. Whether those HR professionals want a change in their job or not is another matter. However, there are very few members who truly embody the HR role; the rest are just amateurs.

To our very short-term experience, we have not found any good fitment for Senior HR positions for companies like Kellogg's and ONGC. Even the response/query was not there. I really assume the scarcity of senior HR people active here. Vice versa, some friends highlighting their organizational HR needs often fly off thereafter (not responding), nor rationally giving you a chance of representation. A small fuzzy add and a series of profile line-ups and business follow-ups...

We have tried to ask senior HR people we are working with, and not even 1% are active here. Isn't it really amazing?

Thanks for all your responses. I'm actually looking to gauge the quality of real HR professionals on CiteHR. So far, I find that there's a lot of poor communication skills and people wanting to just post anything. While some of it is great stuff, a lot of it seems to be junk and folks trying to solicit things (aka spam). How much of it is real and worthwhile?

Greetings,

I understand this is an effort to brainstorm and add value to this community.

Here's my experience. I joined this community 5 years ago and have immense respect for the members and seniors from whom I have learned so much, whether practical HR or working knowledge. I have gained it all from this community. There have been several leaders such as Leo Lingham, Samvedan, Simhan, ArchnaHR, Rajat Joshi, and others who are not just senior leaders in the industry but have consistently contributed for the benefit of others. These are just a few names from the million members who have been contributing here.

This community has a vast member base, ranging from industry leaders, noted authors, practicing HR Managers to students who are 'considering' an MBA. The diversity adds to the freshness of this community. However, on the downside, some may feel there are no people belonging to their domain.

It's a personal choice to connect and find like-minded people to learn from. I credit this community for my best learnings and contacts.

Regards, (Cite Contribution)

Focus on Candidate Quality on CiteHR

The subject is NOT whether or not there are gems in CiteHR. The subject is "What is the quality of candidates you find on CiteHR.com?" The focus is on "candidates," which has yet to be fully addressed.

Please let me know if you need further assistance or have any other questions.

I have followed the thread with interest. I have two concerns: the first one is with the thread starter and the second with the replies.

Concerns About the Thread

I wonder whether it is the right question to pose, as the purpose of CiteHR is not to provide a platform for either seeking jobs or finding suitable people for vacant positions.

Responses to Questions on CiteHR

Regarding responses to questions at CiteHR in general, and this one in particular, a number of us seem to answer like a "corner shopkeeper" is supposed to answer in India. I was told when young that a shopkeeper will not say "NO, we do not have the item." When someone asks for jaggery, if he is out of stock, he says, "We have sugar, how much do you want?" In the same way, in this instance, we do not say "We do not know."

I am not getting at anyone that has responded to the thread starter, in particular. So, please take this message in the spirit it is written. If we do not know the answer, it's better not to respond.

Have a nice day.

Regards,
Simhan

PS: To answer the query, I do not know as I am a retired academic living in the UK.
