The Big Disconnect in Recruitment Ecosystem

Task repetition, Receiving Resume through Email, Managing Resume in Excel and Outlook folders, communicating to multiple stake holders in Sourcing value chain, Job posting in various Jobsites, Searching for Passive & apt Candidates are the order of the day for Recruiters. They have to cope up with all these problems and still ensure ‘On time Delivery’ of quality candidates. Since Recruiting is considered a cost center, they also have a constant pressure to reduce cost.

Thankless Job – say Recruiters

Candidates too are no happier. They have to post resume in Jobsites, respond to Newspaper advertisements and wait. If they are lucky, they may be called for Interview. If the call doesn’t come in, they have to move on with life. This is rather frustrating for them.

Today, in Web 2.0 world, Candidates are Tech Savvy, Intuitive and Result sensitive. With opportunities from across the Globe available to them, they are becoming more demanding.

They want Results – Positive or Negative!

Talent Search Community have their own woes. They send Resume to Recruiters for various posts & hardly get any feedback. Most of the times they get standard feedback like ‘none of the profiles are suitable’ and ‘the position is closed – we’ve already hired’. At times, the Talent Search Partner comes to know that their Candidate has got placed long back…

There is a Big ‘disconnect’ amongst all Stake holders.
