David got his candidate, Norine, an interview for a fresher position. After rigorous rounds of interview, Norine seemed a perfect match for the role. However, Norine rejected the job offer, without citing any reason for her decision.
This is a post contributed by one of our new employees regarding the importance of employee engagement.
Empowered employees are more productive and create a positive environment in the company! I wonder how many companies consider and execute employee engagement as a strategic activity. I have been working in the IT industry for over four years and was on a lookout for new opportunity, and I was fortunate enough to get some reasonable offers. In all honesty, money wasn’t always the priority or the concern of moving on to a next job.
Employers have evolved over a period of time in big data recruitment, all employees are purely based on their hard skill sets in recruiting with a proper understanding whether a candidate would fit into the very fabric of the company or not.
Human resource specialists have employed many strategies in big data recruitment such as having strategic gatekeepers and focusing on behavioral aspects of the candidate.
The most popular example being the Southwest Airlines asking their own employees to be gatekeepers and giving them autonomy to choose their future co-workers.
This ensures Southwest to employ like-minded dynamic individuals with a great sense of humor which is the very fundamental culture of the company.
I (Jagjeet Kaur) work as an IT recruiter to find talent for Antra’s clients and I wanted to share my experiences on why counting on job boards is like buying a lottery. Maybe it is not if you compare the exact odds but that’s how I feel when I think about this topic! It’s been over a year that I have been working at Antra (a leading IT consulting/ IT services/solution company)and my luck in finding relevant candidates on job portals has been very minimal. And I almost never find the right applicants for any immediate openings (good applicants needed in less than 24 to 48 hours).
