Recruiters plea to job portals like naukri/monster/timesjobs

Hi Naveen,
I tolally agree and empathise with you. We all share and have been through this agony at some point of time.
But I feel we should think of a more realistic way to tackle this problem. May be we can sharpen our interviewing skills and formulate a more structured approach. I am suggesting this because I am working for a training organisation and we keep getting requests for this kind of a program from good and renowned companies.

Dear Naveen,
I am also a recruiter n have also faced these problems bt i dnt agree at ur view that there shud b a column in portals for recruiter view bcz sometimes genuine candidates may suffer due to this.Bcz recuiter is not always rite.

Hai Naveen,
Your version basing on your experience is correct. But the candidate has got every right to refuse to join. That is why any recruiter should be very careful and try to have back up in terms of other candidates who can replace him immediately and also getting information from the candidate who has actually accepted to join and you should be able to judge whether he/she can really join or not. That is where the recruiter plays a vital role. If it is really right job for the right candidate definitely he/she will join. So don't get depressed and have a proper plan and anybody will succeed.
Best wishes,
KUMAR.

Hello all,
I am with K. Ravi on this, Most times we get profiles of candidates , call and sometimes interview and never get back to them. I don't think any site will want to write a comment on any candidate profile because if they do most people will not use the site anymore and thus they site managers lose revenue.
I think the recruiter should look for a way in terms of relationship management in communicating with the candidate from the first interview till offer is either accepted or rejected.

Hi,
I will support K. Ravi, as it is correctly said , even recruiter don't take any pain to inform the candidates about the results, when they call also, Recruiter don't update the candidates.
As far as this case is concern one should not allow to comment about any thing like that,But this is very much expected from candidate that atleast they should tell the recruiter about the reason, why they are not joining.

Hi,
I can understand ur frustrution....As a recruiter we have to have source alternate candidate if the candidate is not turnup for the interview...if may be the some other reason the candidate not attend the interview.....we dont blame the candidate....

Hi Naveen,
Realise the fact, we cannot blacklist a candidate, as it his career and he has the right to judge which the right job opportunity for him. He may collect different offers but could only work for one employer. its simple human nature.
When we go to shop we look at different choices and select one. we cannot purchase each and every brand or product we lay our eyes on.
So cheer up. Keep your spirits going and narrow down on another candidate, after all this is india and we have huge pool of talented people out there.
"Someones loss is someones gain" I hope you understand.

Hi
I totally agree with naveen,
If people are not responding to your call then mail them once or twice if no response act accordingly.
Marking comments will spoil candidate's future so think and react!

Hi,
We need to understand that there is an intense competition to attract quality manpower. Many companies are coming out with new and innovative ideas to attract the talent. Gone are the days when candidates used to que up for a job. We have moved from the sellers market to the buyer market now, which means there are too many opportunities available for one candidate.
This has created a situation where recruiters like us have to put in extra efforts to rope a candidate. Inspite of that, if the candidate doesn't join, the reason is because there are numerous options available for him. The solution to this is "Innovation". We as recruiters are the brand builders of the company. Just like a sales guy has to sell a product to his company, we have to sell our company image to the potential candidate. And this calls for innovation....
"Innovation is the key to success"
