Stick or twist - how long should you give an underperformer ?

The recruitment industry is littered with bad and expensive hiring mistakes. Nearly all agencies at some point have hired a consultant that doesn’t work out. Most of us have an example of the experienced consultant who promises the world, talks the talk, and  is always on the verge of a big fee, but month after month has little to show. Or the rookie who is full of…

When Recruiting Really Warms Your Heart

The candidate is just thrilled with the offer and says this is the nicest employer they’ve ever dealt with.

How can you not be incredibly happy for this candidate and excited for them in their new position?  How about when you’re dealing with someone that you placed there 7 years ago and he’s been through a couple of promotions and is now the hiring manager, having a solid impact on the company.  And then there’s the person you know needs a job and a change, a new start, and…

My day in detail...

Here is how my day went last Thursday...

6:00 AM

Woke up, grabbed the iPhone, checked my work email, checked the news, played Words with Friends (addicted and not ashamed), got out of bed, walked the dog, fed the dog, picked out clothes, checked my work email again, got in the shower, headed to work.

8:00 AM

Walked in the building (Tower Place in Buckhead, GA), went the shop to get my coffee and bagel, headed to the office, logged into Citrix, enjoyed my raison…

Staying competitive in a difficult job market

As most of us are aware when there is a shortage of jobs available during these tough economic times means ultimately there is much more competition when searching for a new job. News reports of redundancies and layoffs at large or even small companies are very common at present. Whether you lost your job or want to change to a new position, setting yourself apart is essential to securing a job. Sending in CV after CV without a clear plan or preparation is likely to result in you becoming…

Recruitment outside the box

Being a recruitment consultant means I am in contact with hundreds of people looking for work or looking for that exciting new career step every week. Most people seem to think all they need to do is send their CV to the agent and the job is done, well let me tell you it isn’t. Most Recruitment agencies don’t even recruit for 10 percent of the local vacancies, so the chances of you actually finding the right role through a recruitment agent are not as high as you would initially think. The…

Why So Many Recruiters Burn-Out or Fade Away...

Here is an Irony for you: The Contingency Recruiting Industry has the Highest Turnover Rate of any industry. It is a well-kept secret because of the obvious implications. With an approximately 90% recruiter turnover within the first year, recruiting has to be one of the toughest things in the world to do, intellectually speaking. So, I’m not comparing it to the military or being a fireman or police officer, but in terms of the amount of disappointment that a person experiences at work. Many…

Embedding Values in Recruitment !

I work with a varied spectrum of clients as part of my assignment to recruit the best possible candidate for them within the parameters drawn by the clients. Yes, I do get an option to add my point or opinion and I make it a point to exercise this option after a quick analysis of the situation and client’s requirement. Whether it is for Smaller companies or Big size corporations – I do not compromise on values I embed in my recruitment process. Fortunately, as in my case, I have all my…

Be well diligent and appoint rightfully!

Fact: Human mind and resultant desires/ interests vary as per situations/ opportunities held out to it. As a committed recruitment consultant, I have always instilled this ‘fact’ in my mind; while I recommend or recruit. Situations are beyond control of the one who is confused with himself – he does not know what to do with himself and/ or the situation he is in. He may be looking smart, well qualified, capable, knowledgeable, industrious, skilled – all of this and more – does not make sense…

How do we make a difference as a recruitment consultant?

Recruiting is tough especially when the job market forces vary based on the economic conditions of the country. The year 2008 was the beginning of global recession that is slowly tapering off now, though not completely over as yet. Unfortunately, most of the developing countries depend on the state of economy in the developed world. Oh! Did I say that? Well, I agree India is insulated and is maintaining a robust growth rate of 8.5%. But, many FDI projects that were to get into India have…

A broader view – Service to Clients ?

Recruiting business means more than just recruiting candidates who turn out to be good, effective employees. Yes, I agree the core factor will always remain to be efficiency or skills in recruiting. But, at Rambuna Consultants, we have a broader view and unlike other consultants, we paint on a larger canvass. Hence I insist on offering ‘Service and Results’ to our clients and do not shirk away from adhering to…

‘Reality based Leadership’ – The Need of the Hour !!

Working in a recession-hit economy/ business environment is challenging to any entrepreneur – whether he is seasoned or novice ; only the degree of frustration will vary based on what he can do and he cannot do. In these business situations, deployed resources are always a derivative of the business process to mitigate business risk and the waiting period to earn profits depends more on external factors besides persistent individual efforts of a promising/ experienced…

SMARTPHONES THRIVE: TOP REASONS ALL JOB SEEKERS SHOULD CARRY ONE

 

It is 2012 and the economy has not completely recovered—particularly in the legal sector. As a legal recruiter, I’m in the tough position of placing a select few candidates from a highly-saturated, highly-qualified pool of available attorneys.  There are more attorneys available than there are available seats on projects. Law firms remain cautious about hiring; many attorneys continue to experience layoffs; and, new attorneys…

What are the Hottest Industries for Contract Staffing?

Contract staffing was bright spot for the recruiting industry once again in 2011.  As the economy tried to forge ahead, it appeared that many companies shifted their traditional direct-hire placements to contract placements.  

As a result, Top Echelon Contracting experienced a 22% increase last year in the number of commercial contractors placed on long-term contract assignments in the technical, professional, and healthcare arenas.   This represents 17 years of growth…
