We’ve spoken a lot about the Modern Recruiting Techniques that are practiced but have you explored it on a deeper level to understand the possible challenges or the pros and cons? If not then here’s your chance.

We @SourcingAdda constantly strive to keep you updated with the current techniques and practices implemented in the Recruitment sphere. In doing so we look at things on a deeper level to get a better understanding of the topics that are discussed. Thanks to one of our Bangalore group member Jackson we are able to establish that. Upon his suggestion to have a discussion on, Modern Recruiting Techniques and the Challenges in them or the pros and cons, we gained interesting insights. We’re sure you’ll want to gain these insights so we’ll be disclosing the discussion soon and right after we’ll be highlighting the key take away pointers as well.

There you have it an interesting conversation like most go; the only difference being that we also have some key take away pointers for you to review and verify if your information is up to date. So here goes:

Modern Recruiting Techniques

• Knowledge based Recruitment:
  • What is it?
    • Where both the client & the Recruiting Company decide upon the anticipated skill sets required over a period of time
  • Process:
    • Once created they agree upon a minimum rate of the ongoing recruiting activity
      • A data base is created of candidates comprising of 2 types of candidates
        • Candidates available immediately
        • Potential candidates interested in a job change but are not available
      • Both types of candidates are tracked
        • Based on their availability they are hired on an ongoing basis
        • The unavailable ones are tracked to find their availability and are thus hired on an ongoing basis.
      • E – Recruitment or Online Recruitment:
        • Tools used
          • Job portals
