International Recruitment has always been a part of the Talent Acquisition Industry so I’m sure that most of us will be familiar with the process especially since we’ve gone through it at some point of time. When it comes to US Staffing or UK Staffing we’ve encountered that as well while going up the Career Ladder.  But what are we supposed to do when we’re doing Asian hiring i.e. seeking Talent to fill China position and are looking for Shanghai Talent?

Staying on the topic at hand…

Sourcing for Talent to fill high profiles is usually done with Executive Search Sourcing. A process similar to the Head-Hunting technique; wherein candidates are sourced & screened based on some criteria. Executive Search Sourcing is generally done by Executive Search firms that specialise in it.  

We are all quite familiar with Executive Search Sourcing but what about those of us who are novices to Executive Search Sourcing? Considering this aspect as well we…

In the Talent Acquisition profession that most of us as Talent Acquisitionist are passionate about we’ve certainly come across all types of Applicants. Be it Candidates serving a notice period, fresher’s applying for employments, candidates employed as interns, job seekers and the topic of discussion candidates on bench. All of these have one thing in common and that is there’re all Interviewees seeking better opportunities to advance in their career.

Talent Acquisitionists usually deal with immediate joiners having a notice period.

Ever wondered how to tackle such a scenario especially when it is bulk or volume hiring?

If not; but are in a similar…

The Talent Acquisition Industry has constantly been debating about whether Candidate feedback is to be given or not. And if yes, how should it be given especially in rejection cases.

As fellow Talent Acquisitionists we’re constantly focused on meeting our targets by recruiting the needles from the haystack with the desired calibre. While that’s good we also need to be aware of the changing scenario across the Globe and how it can affect the Indian Market.
