This blog is for people who are entering in the field of Recruitment out of choice or with choice.
The blog may help you guide to be a good recruiter. I say good recruiter the reason the difference between best recruiter and good recruiter is the latter is a happier person.
Recruiters may get stressed up and frustrated about their job , need a break from it at times , but ultimately are quite fascinated by the end result and may be the rewards.
The success of any organization is the knowledge talent and the quality of talent based for the job.
For any internal and external recruiters there are little books or knowledge running in the market or even the B Schools that give recruitment a primary importance.
Hope all you readers find this blog entertaining and knowledgeable.

Few lines for a recuiter
Work and the passion of work . As a recruiter this statement seems quite confusing for a person like me. The confusion is to turn work into passion.
Can the recruiter develop passion in his work ? Will he lose his stamina and passion at work.
What i have observed and feel most reliable for any Recruiter who chose any of the three ( Career, Profession, Job) in Recruitment.
The few good points for a recruiter are :-
1) To be extremely ruthless about time.
Time is the most important factor for a recruiter. The recruiter feels impatient if his time is not valued. Well on the flip side of the coin he needs to understand whether he values his own time.
2)Never lose patience
Due to the genetically born casual approach of the Indian management. Usually the recruiter loses patience due to the candidates and the clients feedback approach.
Either the client is overly aggressive else the client is least concerned about his work.
3)Problem solving skills
A recruiter needs to think extremely fast. I say in a flash of second he would need to form solutions to a problem.
Let's talk of a case :- A candidate pops in for an interview. Usually the approach is the vendors would love to have the closure and push the candidate directly for the interview. Important aspect is to think unilaterally to develop new solutions. Win the candidate to the offer and keep him cool. The candidate will always remember you for what you have done..
Important aspect is to ensure you clear up with the candidate that his appointment is not fixed and you are working to get him interviewed soon. That keeps him at ease because of the time and money he has spend in reaching to your office.
4) Targets & Billing
The few important reasons a recruiter decides to change his course of career else decide to sit at home or develops anxiety is targets and accountability of billing topped down by the management.
This is extremely important for a profession to function and the survival of several start up consulting firms.
So does it function for a In house recruiter to have targets and living on deadlines. How can this be solved or how can we find solutions for the same. Sometimes a NO helps to relive your anxiety however a YES helps to find solutions.
This is a debatable topic and the Indian IT Industry is in capable to tell a NO to the clients they develop and targets they commit to the clients. The consultants and in the in house recruiters who i have met either lose weight or gain weight or develop baldness or develop heavy signs of smoking or drinking in their diet.
The answer to all this is simple :- Short term and Long term foresight is important for the Recruitment Consultant and the In house Recruiter. Few points you need to remember always is you wont get your two eyes replaced else your two fingers or your kidney or liver replaced since you will remain middle class economy in this profession. Either take the load and keep the pace " One step at a time ". Else run the marathon with supplements and bypass to a different track".
5) Fitness and Exercise
This is extremely significant for the profession of Recruitment. The Recruiter is the front face of an organization. He needs to be extremely fit and clean for his profession. A casual approach you get it backfired from your candidates. Fitness is important to keep you mentally sharp and physically active. This is something most professions ignore however for a recruiter he or she needs to be fit and extremely agile all through his job profile of recruitment. The sharpness to think on the toes and find solutions to everyday problems faced is significant for his profession , career or job. The Recruiter needs to find time four times a week for his fitness.
That would ideally enhance his ability to win negotiations and transcend his or her image to a greater level.
Of all the Recruiters i have met there are two kinds of them .
