“A well-planned strategy for hiring candidates is more necessary than we all think. My team started structuring a plan every time the hiring season came and it reduced any common misinterpretations or small errors in the process. Going forward with a strategy is not only good for the recruiters, but the candidates will also feel comfortable.”

“A checklist of suitable role requirements and qualifications should always be present with the recruiter or interviewer, every time they sit down to interview a candidate. Often, interviewers miss out on certain important aspects or qualifications that a checklist responsibly reminds them to consider.”

“The trick to employing the right candidate is by having a question-answer round that can showcase the candidate’s qualifications and capabilities in the short span of time. Pressurizing or difficult questions can determine if the suitable candidate falters under pressure or not. That is what everyone needs, an employee who won’t crack under pressure.”

Farhan, 36 years old

“Recruiters often overlook a candidate’s past job experiences that are actually quite important. If the candidate shows signs of expertise but his previous records don’t quite show it, then a double-check on their capabilities is recommended. It is very necessary to know the candidate before finalising their role.”

“Social media works entirely on keywords. So, when posting job updates on the social media platforms, recruiters should carefully update the keywords in the job description section, so that it reaches as many candidates as the search option can help it to. The more effective keywords there are on the job descriptions, the more candidates it will reach.”
