Barun what you said is correct but it cannot be a platform for recruiting. What you said is used only for the process of recruiting. It is only useful for maintaining relationship  and not for selecting employees. They may use mobile initially...

Yes advanced technology is accepted in all the fields now a days and naturally it will be also accepted.  By keeping its usages in mind it should be adopted.
Om Deshpande  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  1 year ago
I am afraid I will have to vote against this! It is true that video interviewing reduces costs, shortens the recruitment cycle drastically and it is convenient for applicants too. But, India is still not ready to embrace it just yet, because our...

Anjali Sinha  |  Supported idea  "INVOLVING PROFESSIONAL"  |  2 years ago
Atanu your correct a social networking which involves professionals will be a effective site for recruiting. I a way what Mr. Malhotra said is true, Toostep is one such networking sites where professionals are engaged. And I think that is one of...
Vikas Bhatnagar  |  Supported idea  "Linkedin recommended connections "  |  2 years ago
I support your viewpoint that Linkedin and Too step sites are better than facebook.Also there is another site named as Peerpower.com where you can find lot of recommendations of the person from his ex boss/collegaue/business partner.
Esha Johar  |  Supported idea  "Linkedin recommended connections "  |  2 years ago
Hi Thykalam, good points. Compared to other social networking sites Linkedin and Toostep are really doing good especially for the purpose of recruiting. Because here the users connected are professionals and they concentrate more on knowledge...

1) Campus recruitment/HR team efforts 2) Outsourcing 3) Refferal Every company using all three models because it is not feasible to recruit all candidates from any of one single method. 
Om Deshpande  |  Supported idea  "Outsourcing the recruitment process "  |  1 year ago

Gargi Sinha  |  Added idea  "Saving time of recruiting process "  |  2 years ago
Interesting question kirti. According to me the technology has helped to save the time of the recruiting process. Earlier the talent pool was small and the use of technogy was also not effective, but today there is a huge growth in the...
Kriti Das  |  Added idea  "By expanding the talent pool "  |  2 years ago
I think the most dramatic way technology has changed recruiting is by expanding the talent pool. The sheer volume of candidates has changed the way recruiters interact with job candidates. Although technology seems to have sped up the process by...

The Haze Over Social Media Recruiting Is Clearing - Author: Marvin Smith | Source: HCI One year ago, I created some message alerts that daily searched the web for articles related to social media recruiting or social recruiting or web 2.0 recruiting.  The articles were few and far between.  Today, I receive multiple alerts discussing the topic.   One year ago, I was unclear as to what the correct social strategy was for my work at Microsoft.  What I did understand clearly was that the social media phenomenon was having an amazing impact on talent identification.  For some reason people were self-identifying and segmenting themselves into their areas of interests.  By openly declaring their ...

What is stopping you from getting what you want in life? Your friends? Your family? A sense that failure – or success – might change your life and that feeling uncomfortable? A sense that the people around you might disapprove of you aiming for what you want, of you succeeding or failing. Essentially it boils down to fear. The big roadblock, sometimes the massive wall in the middle of road that keeps you from getting what you want. How to overcome it? Here´s some useful ways I have found so far. 1. Taking small steps This is good for fear that can seem overwhelming at first. For instance the strong feeling – it can almost feel like a flight or fight-response – just before doing public speaking or asking someone out for a date. If you´re for instance nervous socially you might not feel able to ask people out on dates right away. The fear of being rejected and that others might think less of you if you get turned down can make many of us feel unable to ask the question. A solution...

Social entrepreneurship in India is making greater strides towards inclusiveness by involving every strata of society to tap into the momentum and growth of the country. However, in spite of several initiatives, social entrepreneurship eco-system in India is not coming together as well as it needs to.  Their focus and collaboration on solutions should be directed towards not merely one-off acts of charity, but adding up to a vast array of sustainable services across sectors and industries that help people at the base of the pyramid, which is not happening in the country now.  In the post-independent era, many enterprising men with social bent of mind had ventured into setting up educational institutions, which helped the country to move out of the chaotic state into a vibrant and democratic environment. But over the decades, these established institutions which laid the foundation for modern India, because of their sheer size, were forced to evolve into large business enterprises...

Rahul Dravid announced his retirement and suddenly we find a new member in the team. Some people think he should have retired earlier while other say he should have continued playing. But all in all I find his decision of making space for someone new right. We need the 'new' generation to come u and replace old before it is too late. This is not only applicable to the game but everywhere. Yes specially politics. During the recent elections when the elephant was run over by the cycle we all knew its going to be one of them. It rarely makes  any difference who it is.  In cricket the selector don't want to let go the experienced and in politics the inexperienced do not want to jump in. How often do we find a new bee out of an unknown background coming up for a change. If we ask our-self would we be up to participate in the dirty job? I presume that perhaps the answer is 'NO' My question is how can we convince, teach and encourage the new generation to participate in the process of...

HAVE. No FEAR. If you were afraid of nothing, what goals would you set? What could you accomplish? What would you do if nothing scared you or made you nervous? Fear stops success. For example, a woman who wants to get married, but she is afraid of men. So she does not get married. Or she marries someone who is wrong for her, just because he does not scare her. If you want to run a business, you will fail if you are afraid of making big decisions. If you want to be a doctor, you cannot be afraid of sick people. If you want to succeed as an athlete, you cannot be afraid of hard, painful practice. Fear of anything can ruin your success: fear of rejection, fear of being excluded, fear of anger, fear of paperwork, fear of speaking to groups, fear of stating the truth, fear of asking for money, fear of responsibility, fear of being attacked, fear of looking stupid, fear of pain, fear of displeasing someone and more. With no fear in your life, what could you accomplish? The Only Way to...

50 Things to do Before you Die Photo by  Anne Froelisch   1. Set foot on each of the seven continents. Antarctica might seem like a tough one, but  here’s how . Once you’ve reached all seven you can truly call yourself a world traveler. 2. Cross a country on a bicycle. A bicycle  tour takes some planning  , but it beats being separated from a country though a passenger-side window. 3. Ride something bigger than a horse. Trekking through the jungle on the back of a  two story tall elephant   will surely be something you remember forever. 4. Live like a local for a month. The experience   of visiting native peoples will give you way more insight into another way of life than two years hopping from one backpacker ghetto to the next. 5. Visit a “real”  blues bar in Chicago  . What better way to leave music’s commercialism behind and find the soul of the blues? 6. Learn another language. This is definitely a weighty and time-consuming proposition, but there are  plenty of resources...
