HR Recruitment

When there is a shortage of skills and talents at a particular geographical location, the company tries to hire people from other geographical locations. These people are called expats. Sometimes the companies require only expats for certain positions - depending on their recruitment strategy. While hiring expats it is important to judge following qualities in them:

- Professional qualifications and expertise

- Adaptability and Flexibility

- Cultural sensitivity

- Family conditions

- Open mindedness

- Any past international work experience

- Level of self-motivation

Major challenges a recruiter faces are:

- Lack of candidates in some particular domain

- Changing trends of the market

- Lack of self motivation

- Lack of agility in the process

- Lack of job prioritization

- Lack of proper job analysis

Recruitment is a time and money consuming activity. In order to maximize the ROI through recruitment activities, a company should keep following things in mind:

- Clearly define the achievements you expect from the recruitment process. Establishing the clear goals doesn't leave a place for confusion in the system.

- Develop effective ways to measure critical results.

- Precise estimation of time and cost of recruitment.

- Ensure that the people working in the recruitment process are well trained.

- Estimate the tangible and intangible benefits that have come from the recruitment exercise.

Poaching in recruitment means hiring the employee of a competitor who is working in the same capacity as desired by you. This is a major challenge faced by the HR managers as it causes the leakage of talent from an organization and effects its productivity.

The employee is usually hired by offering him better salary and perks.

Equal employment opportunity means an equal and fair treatment for all people. There is no discrimination among the employees or candidates on the basis of:

race, age, sex, marital status, disability, sexuality, pregnancy etc.

Equal employment Opportunities help in overall development of both the society as well as the organization. They help the organizations in creating a good image for themselves and discharging their social responsibilities.
