Guaranteed methods of SOURCING

-
Today need of hour is talent. And there are so many distractions to source the right talent. Candidates are getting smarter by portraying their profiles with skills acquired or not. Writing profile is new profession now, although that is not what I'm talking here.
With time sourcing right candidate is becoming bulls eye. There is constant need of talent, either that be technical, functional or techno functional. We need resources who can understand our requirement and deliver as required. 
But for recruiter it is on going challenge of sourcing these profiles.  From where they should fetch right profile that have all required skills. Recruitment is a huge market and all have common platforms to source profiles. With huge market comes huge competition and high expectations of deliveries.  
I believe, basics always works the best. You stick to basics at work and results are always guaranteed.  Recruitment is no rocket science. But people who are master in that find it super simple and people who are amateur find it challenging. Which itself explains that recruitment is just like another job.
Every job have it own set of road blocks. It is up to the executor how to execute, so that results are overwhelming. Few aspects all recruiter should keep in mind while sourcing profiles:
- Persistence
- Emotional Quotient
- Commitment
- Organised method
Reading above, anyone will say there is nothing; that is extraordinary. It is requirement for any kind of role. That is what my point here is.
There is no guaranteed method of sourcing. All you need is persistency which will result in creating your own brand. If you keep in touch with someone at regular intervals. The person will either remember you positively or negatively. You have to apply your skills to make the positive mark.
Once you create the link, stay connected with emotional quotient. If you talk to someone with emotional key words. He/she will have a mark about you. Do not be mechanical. Do not talk to candidates like you are calling from call center. To have that creativity in you, you need to have commitment. 
If I'm not liking what I'm doing I will work like machine. But if I'm enjoying and want to deliver as I like to pursue it further. I will find ways and means which will convert my efforts into results. When there is determination to get results you will be more creative in achieving it.
Once you have your brand in place, you have to focus on working organised way. If you do not keep track with your conversations or activities, you will be soon duplicating. And when you start duplicating your value in recruitment world is ZERO. All your efforts are in vain.
To list down a few tested methods:
- Portals
- Job Boards
- Social networking
- Referral networking
-  Marketing positions
- Freelancers
Make sure your client or your organisation has a talent acquisition process in place. When the process is set then only your profile feedback and closure of position will be quick. Recruitment industry is fast paced, if you slow down; candidate will grab another opportunity. As opportunity for talented people is never deemed.

Uncertainty is also not Constant....

We all are undergoing a dilemma of uncertainty. The cloud of questions keeps hovering over your thoughts. Be it of on-going scenario or future. Things are surely going to change, and things are not going to be in the same pattern as they have been for the last few decades. We have evolved, developed and become more sophisticated with time and education. But we are humans at heart and mind. We still can imagine which is not available with any other living species on earth. Do you have these questions; - How will be that day when the lockdown opens, and we will get back to the physical world again? - Will it be a day just like it was on 20 March 2020 or it will be different and if different, how different? - How am I going to live that day, and how will I be reacting and acting that day? - Will I have public transport services and if I will then will I be able to accommodate which we were doing all these years comfortably? - Will, I still offer a helping hand to a stranger by the road...

Spirituality for the Soul

-

Quite often, spirituality term is aligned to be a synonym of religion or ritual. It is a need today that we understand spirituality is for our soul and not for any societal belief. Religion and tradition are the drawn rules & systems by the society or community to practice spirituality. Our ancestors knew well that metaphors work better than preachings. Hence, the following specific patterns became the way to embark on the journey of spirituality. Aspects like meditation, pranayama, yoga & sadhana are methods of attaining spirituality. Purpose of making these aspects as part of religion and rituals was to make sure these were conducted time and often.  Today, the adoption of the concept of intermittent fasting is common in even younger generations. Our ancestors followed the system of intermittent fasting at the time of conducting any religious rituals. Today we are very well aware that fasting or intermittent fasting helps us detox our bodies and eat up the cells that are ...

Bonding or Binding

Relationships should be bonding not bidding. I recently came across a statement that said that a relationship is a constant effort of commitment, communication and compromise . Which is the reality if you fail to balance all the three the relationship becomes bidding. We all go through our own ups and downs in the journey of life and as the saying goes, enjoying the journey is more important than the destination . But how many of us actually enjoy it? Take a pause and restart enjoying it. During the counselling and coaching sessions, I come across the majority of concerns that are reloving around perception and lifestyle . We have made our lifestyle so materialistic that happiness or wow moments are connected to the accumulation rather than the feelings . The measurement has become more important. We need to encumber the burden of measurement. Eg. I am doing XYZ and I deserve ABC from the other person. Is this the commitment other personed signed with you or did you communicate your ...
