As we start with 2016, we reached out to our users asking them about their New Year Resolution for Happy Recruiting in 2016. Here is what they have to say: 1. Lower down Attrition Rate “Our new year resolution is to make sure the attrition rate of the companies (our clients) is reduced. For this we need to find the right candidates that match the organisation culture. This leads to a happy employee as well as a happy employer which in turn generates more profits.”
- Sneha Sahjwani, Founder at Right Staff
2. Promote Resources having lower visibility “As a new year resolution, we intend to focus our goal into mining resources with lower academic record, showcase them to the various opportunities we can create for them with the variety of skill set that suit them. The skills would focus on the mushrooming sectors of today like e-commerce, retail, real estate etc.”
- Priya Bhargava, Director at Shelby Management
3. Hire lots of Manpower
“I want to hire lots of manpower (freshers) for my company in the year 2016. We are also focusing on increasing leadership positions. I want to achieve my company‟s requirement by keeping myself updated with all recruitment resources.”

- Shilpa Mane, Sr Manager HR at Kiran Gems
5. Make team size double the present “This year we are planning to expand our team size by 100% of the present size. We need to focus on the effective utilization of the existing database & keep record of active job seekers. In 2016, we are going to increase usage of social media than ever before.”

10. Serve Clients with Love and Care “In 2016, we are preparing ourselves to introduce „Serve Love‟ factor. With this we are trying to move away from just providing services.

With „Serve Love‟ factor we are looking to cater our customers with love and care.”
