Sourcing the Right Way
– Kanika Agarwal
During a recent team meeting, I was pleasantly surprised to hear my colleagues praise my knack for sourcing the near perfect candidates. Reflecting on their compliments, I took a moment to rewind and analyze the process I typically follow.
Hiring the ideal candidate is crucial for an organization’s success, yet identifying the perfect fit can be both difficult and time-consuming. One of the most critical steps in the hiring process is thoroughly analyzing the candidate’s resume and application, followed by conducting effective interviews.
The resume or application offers valuable insights into a candidate’s qualifications, skills, and experience, while the interview allows you to gauge their fitment for the role and the organization.
To make an informed hiring decision, it’s essential to combine thorough resume analysis with effective interviewing techniques. This process often requires 2-3 steps, or even more, to accurately assess fit and ensure you select the best candidate for the job.
Additionally, it’s crucial to evaluate a candidate’s alignment with the company’s culture, goals, aspirations, and values to foster a successful long-term employment relationship.
Moreover, this process has evolved significantly over the years. Previously, posting a job on the job portals and waiting for applications sufficed. Today, to attract top talent, you also need to build a strong Employer Brand.
In my opinion, to source the right talent, one must combine meticulous resume analysis, effective interviewing techniques, and a strong employer brand to generate positive market demand.
