Employers
With so much happening in the recruitment space, we all have numerous options available with us to hire right from:
- Free Hiring Through Institutions
- Paid Bulk Hiring, Turnkey Projects
- Temp Staffing (Through players like Teamlease)
A lot of people are facing a situation wherein they have huge fleet on the ground requirements in Sales, Retail, Hospitality, ITES for freshers or up to 1 year experience, but are unable to fulfill them simply because sourcing is a big concern for these profiles. Today almost 80% of hiring is happening in the above sectors, while on the flip side almost 75% of the job seekers are looking for opportunities in other functions like Engineering, IT, Finance and others.
This is the irony that not only the employers are facing, but also the ones working on the sourcing of these projects are handcuffed with. The recruiters are having a tough time convincing the good (or at least average) candidates for their "fleet on the ground" requirements, whereas, the candidates are absolutely OK to sit back and do nothing, but join the function they have always dreamt of!
This subsequently has been forcing quite a lot of employers to start compromising on quality and hire candidates who are below par. By the way this has happened after quite a lot of companies increased the compensation they were paying earlier for similar roles.
While this has opened gates for a lot of training companies and professionals - but this means that the entry level workforce that some of the employers are taking in is not "Up to the Mark"....
As someone who works in the employability - employment domain and have been undertaking numerous "Bulk Hiring" projects, I have only one question in my mind, "Would You Compromise on Quality of Candidates if you get them FREE OF COST?" Would be great to have your opinion so that I can complete my analysis on "Bulk Hiring". Your comments and suggestions would be more than handy for me. Please feel free to write back, email or bbm me on the subject.
