Top Argument

"Against the fact" makes this look like a fact.

This is not true. When there is the right opportunity a recruiter always tries to contact the candidate. After all recruiters have their targets and they surely want to finish them.

They do not contact only those candidates who are far away from requirement.

Only those of the mentality of the 60s and 70s, of staying in one job for 20 years are surviving n are considered good. PUKE!!!! By neha singh, Content Editor, Avestia Corp \| 07 15 2011 07:37:44 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 I am one of such victims who have to wait for ages to get calls for suitable openings from recruiters & now i am bound to express my feelings here :-( Even if try to contact them, they ask for profile but never turn up...i agree to the fact that at once they can't come up with anything relevant but later too their response probability is almost zero...even now when i am desperate for a change, have been contacting many recruiters on daily basis but still nothing seems to work out for me...here i can only wait for my right time to come... By Ditti Vaish, Sr. HR Executive, HCL Tech Noida \| 07 14 2011 17:57:35 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 Recession, and manage with a person less expensive. A person who is in a job looks for a change. They have more experience. May be they know more clearly as to what they are looking for professionally, rather than going for any opportunity that hits them. Recruiters now a days expect people to deliver on a score of add on activities which are not usually specified as deliverables. An experienced person will always recognize this and would try to bargain for it. But the recruiters can exploit the freshers for some time before he/she becomes a pro.

By Ravali AV, Business Development Manager \| 09 07 2011 07:13:23 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 Whatever Janki said the recruiters get so many resume it becomes difficult to choose right minded candidate which I feel some body should go meticulously on all the resumes and then short list the candidates which actually never happens hence the misunderstanding. By Rathin Deb, Freelance Retail Consultant \| 09 05 2011 14:29:50 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 I do not think so, before contacting, a recruiter has to process analyse many things in a candidate profile. Contact or not to contact is next step to completion of screening process. A recruiter definately has to contact a candidate is he/she profile fits for the vacant position. By Yugandhar , Assistent Manager - Cost & General Accounts \| 09 05 2011 04:59:37 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 No recruiter I have noticed doing so. Still if noticed by yourself or somebody else it may be due to the attrition meaning thereby they may perceive a short tenure of the hired employee with them too.Else no other reason has been noticed. Moreover could anyone explain me one reason as to why any employee quits or wishes to do so.Other than personal reason the only reason seen is dissatisfaction may be due to improper work culture or challenges or exploitation or less growth opportunity and so...

By SHRIKANT MANOHAR DANKE, Project Manager, Phadnis Infrastructur Ltd \| 07 22 2011 12:13:48 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 I agree with you Mr. Janaki, Recruiter is only a mediator who helps to identify right candidate for his Client. Recruiter does not hold any openings. All their activities are very much dependent on the Client whoever, it may be. Contacting the candidates is also a cumbersome job unless, or otherwise, the candidates is assured a job(short-listed). By KALIYAMOORTHY , Oil & Gas Area Coordinator, Undisclosed \| 07 15 2011 14:10:41 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 I completely disagree with this statement, as i am also a recruiter we always try to find the candidate who is fit into the criteria and specially looking for a change interested in company and keen to work with the company because all these thing are increase the possibility of the selection of the candidate. By Namrata Chauhan, IT recruiter, Pinaki Consultant \| 07 15 2011 04:45:39 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 Thanks Janaki Ram for reference, see Recruitment is just not like other jobs what our fathers or co fathers used to do the people who hesitate to conatct the candidates who look for a job change is seriously not fit to be in recruitment he is not having the capability to understand the need of the client or the candidate i would say because people in the current industry r only by chance they get into recruitment but people by choice choose recruitment as a profession will create wonders but by chance who works will think its just another job like a telle calling job put t search on t portal ask t candidates whats ur C CTC, E CTC, N period the candidate will niether rember u nor ur company name or neither u would have understood the candidate where he will be t right fit the candiate will say i have worked on oracle apps but ur client want people who worked on SCM or finance u will just dump the profile at last the client says dude i want only candidates who has worked on technical but u have send me all functional and techno functional candidates which is not matching our criteria so first n foremost the recruiters never hesitate to call the candidates but r not supported properly with the right criteria to understand the candidate were he will be suitable By Sujith Kumar S, Sr Technical Recruiter, AIM PLUS Staffing \| 07 14 2011 12:38:36 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 Janaki I ditoo your views on the subject. By Rathin Deb, Freelance Retail Consultant \| 07 14 2011 11:45:50 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 Definitely,they should call if the candidate is fit enough to foot the bill.There may be instances,HR will be finding tough to choose one for single position out of a number of aspirants. I agree with Janki,thanks for referral. By Mohammad Bakhsh, Project Leader/Managing Consultant, Freelancer \| 07 14 2011 11:09:29 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 Every recruiter is looking for skilled professionals no matter they are free to join immediately or after some time. Experienced people are like HOT PROPERTY for recruitment agencies! By Rohit Thakur, Electrical Engineer-Industrial, Quality Engineering and Software Technologies \| 07 14 2011 11:00:24 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 No, Recruiter will never feel hesitate and even yet i did not heard that recruiters hesitate.But, yes, recruiters are taking more care as well as depth analyze of candidate because job turn over ratio is already increased. So, all recruiters have made some change in HR policy as per requirement and also more focus, evaluate carefully of candidate while they are hiring..Thanks Janki ramji for referal By Virag Shah, Confidential \| 07 14 2011 10:02:49 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 I don't think recruiters hesitate.Infact they are more open to connect with those candidates who are looking for job change.It will help them reach the right and willing candidate and one in need By Jagdeep Kaur (vp@hrglobeconsulting.com), Vice President, HR Globe Consulting \| 07 14 2011 09:46:39 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 i agree with Janki Ram By Raj , Senior DBA, Nortel Networks(Avaya India) \| 07 14 2011 09:12:48 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 completely disagree with this statement.As most of the recruiter have their own target to close the position and do not want to lose little opportunity also.
