Up gradation on evolving hiring methods – Recruiters, Consultancy and the
Corporate.

Where else US and European countries has surpassed us to reach Hiring 3.0. We are
lacking behind in our skills to feed the recruitment need for ourselves and our
clients.
Be Social – Always get your self connected with the industry peers. Use Social
Media tools for better recruitment results.
Most of the recruiters don’t have a complete and proper social media strategies.
Many leave their avatar blank, intimates their present co as ‘confidential’, without
no contact details etc. The more complete and strong social media profile we have,
the more confidence we gain from our candidates.
Watch the ROI – Create an employable talent pool than going for an unknown
workforce. Make everyone employable.

Recruitment as a Business Partner – Recruitment is always seen as a support
service rather than a business partner. Share, suggest and advice the management
when ever it is needed.
Recruiters and the recruitment managers need to be more transparent with their
CEO on hiring issues. In fact, recruitment is the CEO’s agenda.
Anticipate Change – Recruiters has to learn from their past mistakes. They have to
adopt themselves to the changing strategies, environment, policies etc. No where
they can stick with their traditional hiring methods. There needs to be a
combination of both traditional and modern hiring strategies to find the exact
talent pool.
