How to recruit the right person for the job?

Put about 100 bricks in a particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates into the room and close the door. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.

If they are counting the bricks, put them in the accounts department.

If they are recounting them, put them in auditing.

If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in engineering - design.

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in planning.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in operations.

If they are sleeping, put them in security.

If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in information technology.

If they are sitting idle, put them in human resources.

If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in sales.

If they have already left for the day, put them in marketing.

If they are staring out of the window, put them on strategic planning.

And then last but not least, if they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in top management.

Thank you.

You can work on the freelancing sources concept, wherein you pay out an incentive/slab system for candidates selected. I've used it effectively for over 3 years now. Call me if you need more info at 9880100769.

You may conduct internal references within the company with an incentive payout of a few bucks at the time of employee confirmation. Employment Exchange, Newspaper ads/classifieds, Shine.com (free recruitment ads for a limited period).

Happy Hunting!

Yes, it's really a wonderful idea. But why doesn't anyone use such techniques? Can anyone help me in getting a career? I have recently completed my MBA with HR as my specialization. I'm fond of taking interviews, especially in the recruitment field. I am presently in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. Kindly help me out.

Hi,

There are different ways to source candidates other than job portals and campus recruitment. A few examples are given below:

1) Internal Database
2) Social Networking Sites
3) Headhunting (different types such as cold call or warm call)
4) Employee referral policy (where you can fix an amount and encash only after 3 months of the referral joining)
5) Generating referrals from resumes or candidates available on job portals (by fixing some referral amount)
6) Hiring or generating references from former employees.
7) Through Consultants or Recruitment firms
8) Job postings on job portals
9) Job Advertisements through Newspaper ads/Radio and television/videos/classifieds
10) Billboards and posters
11) Employment Exchange
12) Notices on websites or e-newsletters and signs in or on facilities such as retail stores.

Cheers!!!!
