Should companies also post anonymous reviews of candidates just like candidates do on Glassdoor?

HeaderI am sure the moment you might have read the title of the blog post, you would have said@#$$#@#$$#@##$@$$#@$!!! Ooops Typo Error 🙂 It’s not your fault. The moment we hear about “Reviews” all we can think about is negative reviews. But reviews could be either positive or negative.

Last week, I was fortunate to be part of a panel discussion that was conducted by Rezoomex around this topic. At first, I too was taken aback by the topic, but then I did settle down and started to do research on this topic. The 1st thing that I did was to ask this question to my hiring community and candidates in my network. The reason was to know their views as it helps you to understand the pulse of the audience.

Hey recruiters, now you too can do technical evaluation!

This is in continuation to my earlier article Artificial Intelligence, hiring & you.

After putting so much effort in calculating the Suitability Score, we later realized that it is just a part of the entire gamut of improved and cost-effective hiring. Also, we observed that candidates are very smart when it comes to writing their resumes. Sometimes, they even use paid services to create an impressive resume. Just calculating their suitability score based on the information provided in the resume wouldn’t be a complete solution.

Artificial Intelligence, Hiring & You

techhiringblog_jan20172Recently, I read an article. The author of this article, Recruitment industry will DIE in 2018, threw some light on how Machine Learning is picking up and thus, how many organizations are opting to use it to make their hiring seamless. We, recruiters, need to evolve and prepare ourselves for this change if we want to remain relevant. Some very good examples were cited by the author and; as expected; there were mixed reactions from the readers. Few agreed and others had a different perspective on this.

Recruit Tech Talent on GitHub and StackOverflow

Tech-Hiring-Blog_Recruiting-though-stackoverflow-github_July2016.pngGitHub and StackOverflow are incredible sources of getting amazing resources for a Tech Recruiter.

First of all, we should know the similarities and differences between both sources and how they can minimize your recruitment efforts.

StackOverflow is basically a platform for developers and Techies. Here, they post their day-to-day questions hoping that the other developers will help them with advises. On the other hand, GitHub is a repository where developers store their codes and even  share it publicly for open-source development or use by other developers.

Recruiting need for Startups!!

Tech-Hiring-Blog_ArticleImage_June2016Sometime back I was reading through an interview of an entrepreneur (who has set up four successful startups in a short span) about the challenges faced in startups in one of the leading dailies. And the biggest challenge that has come out to be is the unavailability of the right resources for the startups. I have to agree with it because if you check with the startups 90 out of 100 startups would agree with the same that they are unable to reach out to the right candidates as the need for the startups is slightly different than that of a regular settled company. Since so many intelligent people believe that this is a problem then there is certainly something that needs to be addressed.. But every problem has to have a solution. So this also should have one.
