Last fortnight has seen some desperate deadlines-and hence the irregularity in postings!
As a recruiter one gets to work a lot of assignment at the same- and so most often it is quite taxing to juggle the schedules. Personally, I try to follow the following order :
-topmost priority to assignments where I have been retained for a search. For obvious reasons I am answerable to the deadlines and sensitivities of the client- and at most times, these are confidential positions.
-these are some serious clients, who have indicated their faith in us, and while paying us a monthly retainer fee, gives us mandates that occasionally need me to attend to -on a urgent basis. Some of the positions are niche skills, and so hard to get-and so are perennial in nature. Naturally, I would need to spend a substantial time on these too.
-Positions some of the associates, both members of Executive Recruiters Association (ERA) http://www.era.org.in and otherwise- who are working on some senior level management positions that need urgent attention! Some of them would be looking at 'returning Indian" professionals and so wd need a decent amount of attention -trying to match the aspirations, availability and confirmations!!
-then ofcourse, there are innumerable mandates we recieve almost on a daily basis- which are contigency assignments..ie we get paid only on succesful hires. These are the most challenging -as speed, accuracy, relationship management-are all equally important- and more so, by the sheer volume of it. Filling up of these positions is dependent on the network we have!! Most often, it isnt the best person who gets the job..it is the right person at the right place!!
So, you can imagine, one is constantly trying to -as one reads a mail/resume, trying to slot each resume..into one of the above four -and accordingly utilising our time!!
Well, here are the top jobs of this week..in particular order, I must quip!!Please feel free to reach out, and I shall be glad to provide more info!!

Know of anyone wanting to be a recruiter in Hyderabad?
We work on some real tough assignments and challenging clients.
Most of our clients have lots of recruiters on their team -and work with dozens of recruitment firms!!
And so, none of our jobs are easy to fill!!Absolutely no shortcuts for us!!! Each one of our recruitment team works across the life cycle of hiring. Each one manages a client, understands the role before searching for the right fit- screen them, arrange interviews, counsel candidates for the right openings, and...find the 'right person for the right job'!! It only brings out the best in us :-)!
We are constantly looking for the best of people..people who arent even looking for a change-but who wd be definitely better off doing more exciting roles elsewhere!!
We work across industries- IT and Non IT. We dont do any hiring for BPOs. No freshers. Infact not many even below 3yrs.
As member of Executive Recruiters Association (http://www.era.org.in) we have opportunities to meet the best of recruiters in the fraternity, exchange notes with them, benchmark best practices and constantly raise the bar. Why, we even have 'recruiter training programs' occasionally to hone our skills!!
So most of our recruiters are talking to people more qualified and older than them..as equals!!
Telecom, Infrastructure, consulting firms, Insurance, Retail, FMCG, Consumer durables, Industrial goods, Finance companies,....manufacturing companies..across India.Some of our clients are in China, UK, USA, Malaysia, and yes, even Holland and Guatemala!! Its a learning experience just dealing with these global players!!
