In an evolving industry like Recruitment it comes as no surprise that trainees or interns have become indispensable to most organisations. The reason is that employers give more preference to talent having relevant experience before being graduates vs those without. The recent change in roles being shuffled is another indication for permanent employees to wonder whether the on boarded trainees or interns will become their substitute and is therefore a cause of concern.

Furthermore, focussing on these possible myths can boost uncertainty towards job security across all fields. While it is imperative that we as Talent Acquisitionist’s remain aware of these evolving trends, we are also required to have knowledge of these aspects as it applies to the Talent that is hired. And ensuring that the on-boarded experience matters to employer branding; it once again falls into our jurisdiction and may as well apply to us too. Instead of reacting in a manner that fuels these uncertainties; it is preferable to gain knowledge on these evolving trends so we all can be better prepared for the change that is sure to come in the near future. And what better way is there than to put the topic to a discussion and find out for ourselves the ground reality of things as they stand.

Therefore we @Sourcingadda strive to provide insights on topics that are of concern and that are at the heart of our members interests. We are able to do so thanks to their active participation in these discussions. That being said, one of our Mumbai group member’s Rajaram suggested we discuss about the, Roles of trainees, permanent employees, interns and senior interns in an organisation”.

With that said, let’s help you discover what we have uncovered in the thoughts expressed below:

We’re sure the insights shared above have cleared any misunderstandings or misinterpretations that may have existed. Therefore you all can be rest assured that having trainees or interns on boarded doesn’t mean that they are substitutes for permanent employees. They are strictly meant for hiring managers looking to hire fresh talent with experience and isn’t to be mistaken as replacements and nor should it attract much concern by permanent employees. Apart from these aspects there are even guidelines shared for potential prospecting employers cautioning them that while they do hire trainees and interns they need to ensure they extend the same compensation status as their employees to them. It even mentions that if they refuse to comply on the aspect of a fair compensation they are setting themselves up for a long drawn out wastage of funds on labour cases and law suits. Therefore they should heed these instructions in order to boost the organisations growth and avoid unnecessary losses due to statuary obligations and risk affecting their brand reputation.
