Hi members,
This is Vijay again. A couple of days ago, I went for an interview at HCL Technologies in Bangalore. The interviewer asked me about the recruitment process. I couldn't answer it because I am a finance student.
Could you please explain to me what the recruitment process is and outline the steps involved in it? Are there different types of recruitment processes? Also, which recruitment process do software companies typically follow?

Hi Vijay,
I could help you with what recruitment exactly is, as I am working on a report on recruitment for one of my classes. Recruitment is basically the process of finding candidates for a job. A recruiter would attend job fairs, events, and activities, and utilize their resources to reach out to anyone who is interested. For example, if a company is looking to hire someone, they would post a job listing on websites. If you are interested in applying, the person you need to contact is the recruiter. The recruiter's role is to assist you in finding a job within another company. I am actually working on my report on education recruitment, so it is somewhat similar. Good luck next time!

Hi Vijay,
I am currently working on a project in recruitment. The recruitment process involves transforming a prospective candidate into an employee of the organization. The process typically consists of five stages: sourcing of candidates, screening, HR round, scheduling, and finally, offer negotiation. This kind of process is followed in almost all software companies. I hope this information is useful to you.
Thank you,

Dear All,
In addition, start from the budget stage. Check if this has been projected in the budget or not, if not, then seek approval. Nowadays, a lot of emphasis is placed on thorough reference checks, and in addition, medical tests are also conducted. Issue the appointment letter only after all documents have been received.
Thanks,
Siddharth

Good resources. The recruitment process involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many resources and time. A general recruitment process is as follows:
1. Identify vacancy
2. Prepare job description and person specification
3. Advertising the vacancy
4. Managing the response
5. Short-listing
6. Arrange interviews
7. Conducting interview and decision making
The recruitment process is immediately followed by the selection process, i.e., the final interviews and the decision-making, conveying the decision, and the appointment formalities.

Dear Vijay,
In practice, recruitment is:
- Sourcing candidates from job portals according to the requirements with leading-edge skills (Head Hunting, References).
- Screening the profiles to check how they match the requirements.
- Shortlisting candidates based on experience, knowledge of the skill set by asking for ratings from the candidate, stability, etc.
- Scheduling interviews.
- Conducting preliminary interviews to assess communication skills.
- Scheduling technical interviews to evaluate technical skills.
- Final HR round.

Hi guys,
In my opinion, recruitment is only about generating a pool of candidates for positions open in an organization. It starts from HR planning, i.e., you decide what your company's plans are and how HR fits in. For example, if my company's goal is venturing into the education sector, I (as HR) need to find out how many teachers, non-teaching staff, etc., I would need. Once that's decided, I would consider whether I want to pursue internal or external recruitment. Internal options include promotions, transfers, and sometimes references, while external options involve consultants, job portals, campus placements, etc.
Once you've lined up candidates, the next step is screening them. From here, the next HR function of selection starts. There's a thin line between sourcing, recruitment, and selection, but it's important to understand the differences.
Hope it's not too complicated :)

It's a typical recruitment cycle... where to start and how to close, etc. Software companies used to follow 3 rounds (1 additional if required).
1 - Communication and soft skills test
2 - Technical Round (technologies like Microsoft, Java, PHP, etc.)
3 - HR/Final round - Salary Negotiation
4 - Project Head/Manager
That's all...

Hi,
The recruitment process is the procedure adopted for hiring the right candidates and transforming them into employees of a particular organization.
The recruitment process can be broken down into a simple 5-step process:
1. Pre-Approach
2. Approach
3. Interviews
4. Results and Objections
5. Close
In the pre-approach stage, planning is crucial. The recruiter receives information about the vacancy and client expectations. The job description is prepared according to company standards and posted on job portals, internal job postings, and through employee referrals.
During the approach stage, the recruiter reaches out to candidates and conducts phone screenings. After phone screenings, the recruiter presents potential candidates to the clients for approval. Upon receiving approval, the recruiter shortlists CVs, informs the desired candidates, and confirms their availability.
Interviews involve the recruiter acting as the point of contact for the candidate and conducting interviews with the shortlisted candidates.
After the interviews, results and objections are handled. The tech leads share the results with the recruiter, who then informs the candidate. If selected, the candidate is notified and asked to submit required documents. Additionally, at this stage, the employee may be asked to provide references for background checks if necessary.
The final step is closing the process. Once all requirements are met, an offer is extended to the candidate, who is then invited to an induction program.
Following this are the joining formalities, induction, and employee relations.

Satish

Hello all,
To me, recruitment is the process of searching for prospective candidates for a job and influencing/attracting them to apply for a position in the organization. The recruitment process starts when the HR department receives a requisition from various departments for an open vacancy or to address a knowledge gap to perform certain duties in the organization. It ends when the HR department receives applications. The recruitment process leads to the selection process, but many people confuse recruitment and selection, as I have seen others explain the process above.
Thank you.

2. Prepare job descriptions and specifications

5. Arrange the interview
6. Conduct the interview and make decisions.
