Does the current recruitment process helps in finding real talents?

In the wake of globalisation people are hired with respect to specific skill sets.There is less of emphasis on a person's adaptability to change in a changing and fast moving environment.A person gets hired with a higher package if he belongs to the same work segment and his adaptability to adjust and work efficiency in the new sector is seldom taken into account.There is more emphasis on following and capturing  in business rather than new developments and pioneering in the industry.Unless the academic percentage culture changes not much can be achieved.A practical experience has to be treated as a tool to judge the knowledge of the person in that segment and a opportunity to utilise his experience to diversify in the future if the need be.The current recruitment process does not take this into account.Also suggestions should be taken positively by the management rather than sticking to principles under the name of Management policy.So unless the organisations are flexible enough in their approach even the Dormant Talents remain dormant for years together and continue with mundane work.Needless to say the curent Process will never be able to hire the right talent without changing.

Thanks for the referral Kirti,

The recruitment process in different industries has different norm, I remember when a friend had gone for interview they had different rounds, but the same cannot be applied to all the industries.

In healthcare industry for example, when we hire some one we cannot ask the person to practically demonstrate what all they know on the patient. We have to take their word and the theoretical knowledge that the person has. As a result at times it happens that the person has sound bookish knowledge but is not able to do well in practical field

System should be devised that the true quality and talent should be brought out at the time of interview.

Hi, Kriti, I am also agree with you because present recruitment process in not sufficient for finding telent. In present process only theoritical talent see with marksheet and degree not practical talent. We know it well that practical talent is must for any company growth. So i want to say that processed will be changed for finding real talent

The recruitment process, between outsourcing the function and the template approach, has been automated too much. It lacks the personal touch. Unless one gets involved with the candidate and study their profile thoroughly and watch them at work, it is very difficult to identify their strengths and utilize their competence properly.

No. Required talent is always a moving target for 21st century organisations. Set of people who conduct interviews are not fully equipped to search for the required talent as they are nurtured differently. Also using traditional techniques of conducting behavioral interviews may not be sufficient.  We require a strategic database where all necessary information about each candidate is available.  This means right from school days till last employment (if applicable), membership in social networks, activities in the society and other testimonials. This will empower both organisations and also brings talent within the individual.

Since the current recruitment process considers mechanical aspects of job .That's why it fails to find real talents in an effective manner....

i 100% agree with u kriti sir, bcz i have less % in my +2 and i couldn't shortlisted in MNCs . but i know i'm better than candidate who have 70% or more. i know c# very well,but what does matter. nothing i'm getting...the hiring CONCEPTS Should be changed.....and also EDUCATION SYSTEM...

It is time now that even though a lot of talent is available, the employers are not able to en-cash them because of their un-changed attitudes like traditional ways of recruitment, lethargic process of enrolling, the ways and kinds of conducting competitive tests/exams/interviews, it is becoming a tedious process for them to get the real talent.  therefore, it is truly a "TALENT HUNT" the new strategy, which should be worked out be all employers to enroll the desired talent.  surely the process needs a big change!

good content, thanks for referral!!

What is real talent? Carry out certain task optimally over a time frame!! Then as long as a person is able to discharge his duty he she is the right talent, what’s the trouble, the trouble is every enterprise has a hierarchy and if you have to retain particular Mr. / Ms X then he ,/  she has to grow , as in today’s enterprise world you can’t join as clerk and retire as clerk. One has to move up its one way. This is the job of HR in every organization to take care.

I feel the professional for specific industries should be very well trained or experienced . The recruitment process should be carried out by the actual authorities or Head of the departments. And our traditional methods have the same process. I guess the experience in the specific industry or Companies gives a knowledge what we really looking for; B'coz the years of experience gives us a actual knowledge of job & process. Now a days many big companies hire the consultants or professional for recruitment process. I feel the candidate selected by them are only on the presence and the analytical knowledge. But the companies need really a experience good guys those who knows the job & carry out efficiently, which can be easily judge by the Manager or Departmental head himself. Because he know the actual need of the department as he his working for the same for years and years.Its my personal experience in our offshore Industry as of now.

 Yes, We should try to develop new strategy for the recruitment process

Organizations still rely on traditional approach of testing the basic anlytical ability of a person. Why dont they implement some challenging process; which helps to find the best in the industry?
