FASTCOLLAB 7 CONFESSIONS FROM RECRUITERS FOR YEAR 2015

•

2015 has seen a rise in number of hirings across India, and specially among the start-ups. As we are nearing the end of this year, we reached out to recruiters of various companies (both Corporate Organisations as well as Recruitment Agencies) and asked them to make a confession about their work in this industry. Here is a collection of most commonly told statements.

1. Less time to read Resumes: • Recruiters have received plenty of applications, but they were able to give only 5-7 seconds of time on each resume. Nearly 83% of recruiters revealed that cover letters went unnoticed.

2. Candidate Personal Details • Recruiters have given emphasis on the email ids of the candidates as well. If it was not professional, 75% recruiters have rejected candidates for the job.

For a single job position, recruiters have received nearly 250 applications and this number kept increasing rapidly. Having a photograph on resume has been a big no from recruiter’s perspective during 2015.

3. Do not jump on References • Almost every company need references by the candidates from their previous organisation. Going against the ethics of recruitment, recruiters have called the bosses of the referred company even when they have not shortlisted the candidates.

4. Keep Social Media Clean • Nearly 70% of the recruiters have agreed to visit candidates social media profiles on various networking sites. In the year 2015, nearly 90% of the companies used social media for recruiting and this number is expected to rise in the near future.
