Headhunting - A Challenge

Being an experienced professional in the field of recruitment, Swetha Raj, Senior
Talent Acquisition Specialist of Technosoft Corporation says “a lot of good talent exists in the market; it is quite a challenging task in finding the right ones. People who are actively looking for jobs may not be having the right skill sets but, passive people may have. However, it is not being utilized or is not looking for jobs right now. Providing job opportunities for freshers and laterals all the year round and, I look up for the perfect candidate with the right skill set”.

Akshay Gupta of Neolite Infotech says “As an HR for a startup company we go through a lot of challenges. Sometimes candidates expect very high salaries without understanding the role they are offered and remain satisfied with the salary.
Finding the right talent is difficult as skill sets don’t match the requirements. We are a startup IT outsourcing company providing world-class products and services to customers globally. We look for people having core competencies in Customized Solutions & Software Development, Product Development, Mobile Application Development, Web Based Solutions, Web Application Development and many more. Our hiring needs are fulfilled through job portals like indeed.com and aasaanjobs or through posts on Facebook. In order to skill up freshers, we provide them with pieces of training too. As we are still growing we are looking for experienced individuals to work with us. We will soon be opening our hiring for freshers too”.

As a global software company, PTC Software India Pvt Ltd expects its employees to be highly active, curious and motivated to help their customers stay one step ahead of the competition by combining our strategic vision with leading, field proven technology.  This is what they had to say about their hiring strategy for finding the best talent- “We work with top 6 IIT’s and look for freshers into roles like developer or into quality analyst and also provide them training for 6 months. Hiring becomes a challenge when we don’t find good quality freshers. Even for lateral hiring, quality and availability are a challenge. So we look for individuals who can deliver good outputs to the company”.
