Introduction
Recruitment has been one of the key focus areas for any organization since decades. Let us understand how recruiting era has changes over this period. If we talk about 1970’s, recruiting as a process was more Employer centric which involved a lot of individualized touch, phone and networks, high agency reliance and a lot of cost.

Believe it or not, there’s an ‘unseen meltdown’ happening that threatens to keep your organization at the end of the line. Hiring strategies of yesteryears just won’t cut it anymore.
No one loves a success story as much as the organization itself, having spent so many years in finally becoming an enterprise of repute. But all such triumphs come with their own share of challenges and impediments, as can be seen in the case of one of our major clients.
