Recruitment - In my perspective

SCHEDULING
Basically a recruitment process in a company carried by different methods. Mainly
1.Face to Face
2.Telephonic
3.Video Conferencing
As an IT firm, resources are scare when companies are in a hurry to close the positions. In that case we would be scheduling a telephonic or video conferencing. When resources are plenty, we would be scheduling a face to face discussion once a candidate is open for job change.
But basically as a consultant we focus on F2F interviews since process is fast.
For Example
X company from Chennai has got a project form Y company, California. It is supposed to be finished at by next 8 Months. Project manager while calculating resource requirement mentions that it would demand a professional who is expert in Mainframe software testing using ABC tool. Merely it is very a niche skillset. Since this resoiurce is very critical for this project, it would require to search candidate across world. A professional basically from Chennai located in US, now he is looking for return is a right choice and can be interviewed . In these cases, a telephonic or video conferencing method is preferred.

This is a brief about the process of recruitment in scheduling. The role of consultant, preferences, matching skillsets, managing clients and candidates, proper maintanance of trackers or track records, transparency in selection and process and recruiters skill and domain expertise would be discussed in upcoming blogs.
