Dear all,
I am doing a research on the Indian recruitment market, focusing mainly on level A and B white collared jobs. The aim of my research is to find the scope of improvement in the current recruitment practices and design new ideas or a suitable product/service on those lines. It would be great if you could help me gain insight regarding the following questions:
1. Recently, I learned that two-thirds of the revenues of the most prominent job portal in India come from resume database accesses. Why is it that the model of posting a job vacancy and then getting candidates to apply doesn't work better? Isn't calling up people who might not even be looking for a job or interested in the job you have, a very inefficient method?
2. Do recruiters really care about all the details given in a resume? If one were to create a stripped down version of the resume, what information should be present in it and what can be eliminated? For example, only the highest education or qualification instead of school and previous college education details; Top 5 key skills instead of 10-15 skills, etc. According to you, is there a best, no-nonsense resume format that can make the reviewing of the resumes quicker and simpler?
3. There are a lot of job boards, recruitment consultants and services, but it is clear that the hiring market is broken and has a major scope for improvement. What according to you are the top three issues that need to be addressed to make the market more efficient?
Thanks!
