Hi All,
I want to introduce myself to all of you. I am a new member of this site.
I'm having some professional problems. I have been working with a consulting company for 7 months as a Senior Technical Recruiter in Delhi. This is a startup company. When I joined, I was very impressed by the employees and the employer. My performance was highly appreciated by my boss. At that moment, they had a few requirements, but I thought the company would improve over time. Every business needs some time to establish itself.
However, nowadays, we have ample requirements from a major brand name client, and my whole team has submitted a good number of profiles. Sometimes they provide feedback, and sometimes they don't. For the past 2 months, we have been working without receiving proper feedback from the client side. The company management is focusing more on working under pressure. I am not satisfied with my work because I am working hard and smart, delivering quality profiles, but not seeing the desired output. I receive my monthly salary on time, but there are no closures. Sometimes, our senior personnel treat us poorly because they are unable to meet their targets.
When I joined, I brought good business to the company. I am looking for a salary increase, but my company is not in a position to provide one, and I don't think I should discuss this with my boss. I am trying to find another job, but due to the recession, I am not receiving good offers.
Can anyone please advise me on whether I should continue with my current job or look for a change?

I have 1.5 years of experience in recruitment, and I am working hard and smart. However, I am not achieving the desired level of success that is essential for every recruiter. What should I do? Should I leave this company and explore opportunities elsewhere?

Namita,
Every establishment will have a target, and in order to meet the target, all employees work together as a team. There may be cases like yours where someone can bring in more business due to their personal contacts or ability to convince clients. However, when efforts are pooled together, the contributions of such a performer may not be highlighted. It has only been a short period of 7 months. Don't worry; as the company grows, your work will be appreciated. Do not think that others are not performing well; you are still treated equally. Consider that your help benefits the establishment and others. When the company starts making profits, the system will recognize and reward you accordingly.
I cannot say that you should find a better job, nor can I compel you to stay in your current position. The decision is yours to make. For me, a service of only 7 months in a company is a very limited period to judge the future.

What I understand is either you want "closer" or wanna leave this country....? I mean company to try another If I'm not wrong....
1.5 years is not experience, my friend. You have to work for at least 3 years in one company. According to specialist HR, we judge people, it takes one year to gain practical exposure to learn and excel during their first year in jobs. Secondly, with some trial and error, they start taking initiatives to practice what the real job is all about, and they perform in the third year.
So, the experience below three years in one company is not counted as experience while reading a resume if we are looking for someone straight from the jacket who can fit into the job profile of some experienced position.
You have to wait; unfortunately, life demands a lot of desires to fulfill in the shortest time, but circumstances around did not respond favorably to everyone. Do not run faster than your ability; dreams are okay, but your time is yet to come, and this is just the beginning for you. Have patience.

Thank you for your suggestion. I know my ability, that's why I am with my company. Yes, I am searching, but not desperately because I don't want to lose an opportunity. I also want to continue my job in one organization for at least two years. Sometimes, I get disappointed because I have to show that I am busy to my seniors when I am not. They do not understand that if I have submitted seven profiles for a particular requirement and I do not have any other requirements, they still ask for more and more quality submissions. Sometimes, I feel like I am building the database of my client because they do not respond to the profiles that have been shortlisted.
You know, I have submitted over 100 profiles for one client, and I have not received any output.

You were just doing recruitment; nowadays, full-fledged HR Generalists are without jobs. Recruitment doesn't have any scope. So, just search some other field, leave this HR field, and do some other job.

Hi Namita,
Welcome to this forum!
From your mail, we can make out that you must be trying hard to give your best. When you join any new company, there are two times you experience honeymoon time:
1. when you join – initial phase till the time you settle down
2. when you leave the company – notice period.
So definitely, you have enjoyed the first one.
You have only 1.5 years of experience, and I suppose out of that, 7 months is with the existing company. I personally suggest sticking to this company because of the following reasons:
- You are not happy, so you will make compromises and take up any job that comes your way.
- The market is down, so you may not get a job and you will feel frustrated, thinking that you are not good enough. This will affect your confidence.
- If you shift, that will show job hopping, which is not good.
Everybody is going through the same phase. You cannot expect praise every time. When the market was good, you did well. The challenge is when conditions are against you, and still you try your level best. The person who stands in crisis is the best... show your performance and then leave. The rest of the things depend on the situation.
All the best.

Hi Namitha,
At this point in time, I prefer you don't change the company as the market has gone from bad to worse. Look for opportunities outside your present company. In case you are willing to relocate, send me your profile to
. I have good contacts with HR executives in MNC/BPO, IT, Telecom Giants, and other sectors. I may be able to help you out, but that can happen only if you are ready for relocation, better growth, an excellent work environment, and, of course, a good pay package.
By the way, let me introduce myself - I am Pradeep from Hyderabad, working as a Senior HR handling both pre and post recruitment activities for a Multinational Telecom Giant in Hyderabad. You can reach me on my mobile number +91-9010615893. I would appreciate it if you could email me your latest CV to the email address provided above or call me to let you know if my company has any openings across India and abroad.
