We’ve talked about a lot of things but never once on whether HRs can influence business decision making.  If I was being completely honest not once has this topic struck me until now, all thanks to our members who make these discussions interesting thus ensuring that we remain updated with the current trends in the Talent Acquisition Industry that we’re all passionate about. 

I’m sure that your too are just as excited to learn what we uncovered during our weekly…

We as Talent Acquisitionist’s we’re always looking to fill positions fast and therefore we’re constantly on a hunt for better, faster, easier and efficient methods to fill vacancies. While most companies that we’ve been a part of usually rely on Internal methods while some others prefer Outsourced methods of Recruiting. But have you ever stopped to think and find out which of these two methods are most effective?

If you haven’t then you’re in luck as…

There has been a lot of talk about Sourcing Tools & Techniques used by fellow Talent Acquisitionists at time we’ve even helped each other on countless occasions. We’re all looking for those hard to get needle in a haystack Talent and fill positions fast.  We use the commonly used tools to speed up the process but have you ever thought of the Tools that Companies use?

Well if you haven’t, don’t fret as we’ve had a discussion on the same because it was suggested by our Mumbai…

The hunt for catching that needle in haystack candidate is not easy and even more so when you have a niche requirement. With your relentless efforts at times you may still not get the candidates with the right calibre. Thus, some organisations tend to rely on agencies to help them find talent that they desire.

While that may be a great alternative to get the Talent you’re looking for it is important to pick the right agency hence the question, “How do you find the right agency for…

There has been a lot of talk about Diversity Hiring with most of us as Talent Acquisitionists agreeing to the concept of Diversity Hiring. We’ve looked at all the possible aspects both positive and negative and have come to the conclusion that Diversity Hiring is great in all aspects talk about Growth of the company, retaining Talent so on and so forth.

Even in our latest annual event…

As fellow Talent Acquisitionists we’ve addressed several challenges that we face when we’re looking for those needle in a haystack Talent that most of us are Sourcing.  To name a few how to improve the offer to joining ratio, candidate experience, boost quality of hires etc.  But what about mothers who have taken a break and want to re – join work after a long gap?

Well if you’ve been following us @SourcingAdda then you’d be familiar…

We are predominately in the Information Technology Age as such the developments in technology now dominate sourcing to a large extent. First we had Desktop computers, than came Laptops, than tablets and now we have smart phones making their way into every home. It is only fair to say that Mobile Recruiting is the next development in sourcing.

With almost everybody having a smart phone it is obvious that job seekers will want to view and apply for jobs via mobile. Here’s…

As Talent Acquisitionist’s we are constantly Sourcing for the needle in the haystack and being into the Recruitment Industry we are well aware of the changing trends. This is all well for experts like us but what about our fellow Sourcers who are new in to the profession? We may have the experience and most certainly know the trends but is there a slight possibility that there are techniques that we haven’t yet heard about? I think yes, with the Recruitment Industry changing rapidly we are…

As fellow Talent Acquisitionist’s we’re ever ready to interact with Candidates we receive. At times while interacting with Candidates it becomes difficult to get the desired information we would like to know about them. This in turn hinders our task and we’re looking for new ways of interacting with them to extract the necessary information.

In view of that we @SourcingAdda decided to assist  …

There has been a lot of talk of the Technology Age and how the Recruitment Industry is changing because of the advancement in technology. Given the current scenario it’s obvious that you’ll like to know what challenges Talent Acquisitionists like yourself would face.

In view of this we @SourcingAdda decided to host a…

The success of #TASCON16 had made us all fellow Talent Acquisitionist up to date with the current trends in the Recruitment Industry and we’ve all added to our knowledge. I’m sure we’re all excited to learn which are the Top Tweets of #TASCON16 - A Unique Conference Designed by Recruiters for Recruiters?

The wait ends so here are the Top Tweets of #TASCON16 - A Unique Conference Designed…

The field of Recruitment has also evolved due to the changing times. Unlike the Traditional Recruiting Methods that weren’t very effective, the Modern Methods use Social Media as a recruiting strategy as it is not only cost effect but also speeds up the process. Nevertheless, for recruitment to be successful there are other aspects that have proved effective but in collaboration with Social media.…

We’ve been utilising the popular Social Media Channel i.e. Twitter for quite some time but have you ever stopped to think  about how it has helped you in your ordinary tasks. If not then it’s time to look back on all the aspects about Twitter as a whole to find out how effective it has been in our hunt for Talent. 

It’s a good thing that we have our popular WhatsApp Group…

We all use excel on a regular bases either for entering data, generating leads, bulk emailing and lots more but have you ever wondered what else you can do with Excel and how helpful it can be to you as Talent Acquisitionist’s?

Exactly why we @SourcingAdda found it very interesting when a member of the WhatsApp Group…

We’ve all aware of the changing scenario in the Talent Acquisition Industry and would like to keep ourselves updated by adding to our knowledge from time to time. Keeping this in mind we decided to challenge ourselves and our knowledge about the Recruitment Industry that all are passionate about with a discussion.

And what better way is there than posing it as a discussion…

With the appraisals round the corner everyone is on the hunt to prove why they deserve a raise but how many of us have been realistic in our responses and expectations?  Exactly, most of us usually tend to ignore the reality in our responses and expectations. Everyone wants the max and most definitely expect a hike. 

This is the reality hence we @SourcingAdda decided to utilise this opportunity to help you stop and think about things…

We’ve spoken about online Employee and Employer Branding extensively and with everything getting digitalised, using Social Media to capture Talent and fill positions faster makes sense.

Having said that the real question is whether this can be done and if yes how should one go about gathering Talent, therefore @SourcingAdda we decided that the best way to get these doubts cleared is by asking Talent Acquisitionists. Hence we conducted…

Just like most fields have certain myths so also the Recruitment Industry too has assumptions that people have followed till date. These misconceptions that are held are followed blindly and the field of Recruitment is no exception.

The misconceptions need to be checked and rectified in…

We’ve been hearing and talking about all things related to Talent Acquisition and Human Resource in are favourite Wednesday’s discussions that are all taken in good stride by all our members. Being a part of these discussions and an active one at that, if it has taught us anything it has definitely added to our learning.

Therefore we decided to look into our hat of ideas to find out what our next discussion topic should be and before we knew it our member Manish from Pune…

The activity with the most responses i.e. the Wednesday’s Discussion being the Hike Group Chat will now resume on the WhatsApp Platform. This new development was taken well by all the Members of the North, South, West and East Group.

This decision to revert back on WhatsApp was made upon the request of our loyal Hike Group Members. So we…
