Business of Recruitments: January 2009
http://amitandon17.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. There is only bad news pouring from all quarters. A lot of it seems to be the ripple effect. Everyone is taking guesses at when things can be expected to improve. I have divided companies in to three groups:. 1 Genuine Money Losers - These are companies that have actually lost money, or seen heavy losses. 2 Affected Parties - These companies have not lost much, but have seen some effect on their business because of the crunch.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010. HR - The New Marketing Department. Ajay went for an Interview with a Fortune 500 banking company. He was made to wait for three hours at the reception while nobody attended him except for an HR Executive, who was also missing for the last two hours. Ajay walked off, swearing never to apply in that company again. Now, imagine a client walking into your office:. 1 Can you make him wait for an three hours at the reception? 2 Will you not offer him coffee / tea? HR team is the first...

Business of Recruitments: May 2008
http://amitandon17.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2008. There are a number of industry-specific courses where the entire curriculum is around the "role" that the trainee is expected to perform. Examples are Hotel Management, Air Hostess Trainings, Nursery Teacher Trainings, Merchant navy courses. The interesting part is that in most of these courses, the faculty is almost completely from the industry. The teachers are industry veterans and are able to talk the right language, set the right expectations deliver the right skills. Can yo...

Business of Recruitments: June 2012
http://amitandon17.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 21, 2012. Interviews are a waste of time. Yes, Interviews do waste a lot of your time! Time that could have been more productively used otherwise. I am not saying that time should not be spent on interviews. But, only spend time that is required. 1 Interviewer is not ready with his questions:. I have seen a number of cases where people with outstanding communication skills were hired for technical roles that they were not fit to handle. 2 Why are you asking questions? In some cases, almost...

Wednesday, January 13, 2010. How to have your Employees and Eat them too. Everyday millions of words are wasted on this topic. Today, I also decided to contribute to this lost cause. There are almost as many theories to this as the number of employees globally. The answers range from plain “Emotional Satisfaction” and “Clarity of vision” to more complicated things like “Money” and “Recognition”. Here are some of my suggestions on employee engagement:. The certificate can say “You have earned yourse...

Business of Recruitments: After-effects of Appraisals
http://amitandon17.blogspot.com/2013/01/after-effects-of-appraisals.html
Monday, January 28, 2013. I was reading a book called ‘Empire of the Moghul’ and it talked about how Babur’s armies prepared in advance for Uzbek attacks after the winters. The preparation was based on historical data and not any news. Similarly today HR prepares for attrition after the appraisal season. On the basis of their reaction to appraisals you can divide your employees in the following categories:. 8217; but by ‘Where I can go from here? They would leave you if they feel cheated or are jealous&#...

Business of Recruitments: November 2011
http://amitandon17.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Burning the bridges while leaving a job. Yesterday, I was reading a post on an HR forum, where a manager had left his job without serving the notice period. Now, the company had demanded a compensation equivalent to the notice period deficiency. His question was: 'Can the company take a legal step or are they just issuing plain threats? The question is not 'Is the company right in doing so? 3 You should sue the company! Then some better sense prevailed and some other members...

Business of Recruitments: The thin line between a Recruitment Consultant and a Tele-Sales executive
http://amitandon17.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-thin-line-between-recruitment.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. The thin line between a Recruitment Consultant and a Tele-Sales executive. No offence meant to a Tele-Sales executive, but a recruitment consultant's job is different. 1 Do you plead the candidate every time you talk to him? 2 Do you try to sell the job to every candidate that you talk to? 3 Do you plead with them to take out time for an interview? 4 Do you give your candidates benefit of doubt more than twice? 5 Ensure that the CV matches experience. There is nothing wrong in...
