Unlike the usual Chats that you come across @SourcingAdda we have taken the initiative to bring together under one umbrella Recruiters and Sourcers from a pan India level. The objective of creating a WhatsApp Group Chat is to help Recruiters & Sourcers interact with each other and stay updated with the latest trends in the Talent Acquisition field. This is possible because we conduct WhatsApp Group Chats in 8 different cities namely Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Pune 1 along with 3 more additions Pune 2, Kolkata and Gujarat.

If you’re not a part of these groups you should make it a point to sign up for them as you are sure to learn a thing or two. More importantly you will be able to connect with thought leaders within the Industry. But enough of this and lets find out the views of Recruiters & Sourcers about the Volume of IT hires done through Social media. Here’s what several of them had to say…1and2Well that brings an end to this interesting conversation that we’ve been waiting so patiently for. But wait I haven’t heard your point of view just yet.

Well it’s great to have so many Talent Acquisition Professionals like yourself participating, adding or inviting new people to join Sourcing Adda’s (@SourcingAdda) WhatsApp Group Chat. From the traffic that we’re receiving, I can honestly say that we’re in for a variety of perspectives. I’m confident that the conversations we’re having are definitely going to be something that aren’t worth a miss. So if you haven’t yet joined well you better as you’re definitely going to receive great insights from a variety of individuals. Besides how often does this happen?

Still not convinced then let’s give you more reasons as to why you don’t want to miss them. This time the discussion topic was suggested by our Bangalore group member i.e. Aarthi Devi. The discussion was about, “Can candidates be blacklisted by a company and is it ill-legal for Recruiters to tell the candidate that they are blacklisted if they have absconded.” Therefore let’s find out what views were brought forward and add to our learning.

123Well this brings our little chat to a close and I’m sure you’ve taken a thing or to back with you. How great is that? If you’ve enjoyed this chat and want to know more about them then you simply need to follow @SourcingAdda to get updates.

@SourcingAdda It’s more cost effective than experienced hire for business #SourcingChat

A2. Culture, pre-joining engagement in short connect with candidates #Sourcingchat (3 retweet)

A3) ideally it depends on relationship with the College and past history of selects. #SourcingChat

@SourcingAdda A4 Using Cognitive ability assessments that has a high correlation with performance .Identify leadership traits #SourcingChat

A5) Get away with 60% criteria and have a stronger selection process, great minds might not always score above 60%. #Sourcingchat

@SourcingAdda A6.Initially it is JOB that matters then comes these frills and their preferences. #SourcingChat

A7. Consider what is constant and what a variable is! This is where #ability is more important that #aptitude. #sourcingchat

A8: couple of gaps here, skill competency majorly & hence opportunity gap. Firms must collaborate with academia #sourcingchat

A9 question itself has the answer; long term strategy needs consistent supply & Development of #talent only possible through campus #SourcingChat

A7. Attitude is more important but we have no scientific way to measure it, so we go on skill #SourcingChat

A9 question itself has the answer; long term strategy needs consistent supply & Development. Of #talent only possible through campus #SourcingChat

A7) Attitude matters d most as one can learn skills if he wants but changing the attitude will be more difficult task #SourcingChat

@SourcingAdda #sourcingchat A4. Take them through comprehensive selection and not elimination process

A5: Candidates who score < 60% and have strong Extracurricular & Co curricular skills should be given an equal chance! #SourcingChat

A5 Personally I find the “cut-off” pattern unfair & flawed. Talent is what matters #Sourcingchat @SourcingAdda

A5) Companies might miss on some best talent just because he/she scored below 60%. History – Dropouts were the best!! #SourcingChat

#Sourcingchat A2. Shall to share new idea with Colleges and we can arrange guest lectures and prepare them
