A LETTER FROM CEO 5 CHALLENGES THAT WILL NEVER
LEAVE HRS ALONE

• Dear HRs
• Congratulations for converting the interview and
  finally being selected as the most promising HR
  of the company. By this time you might have
  received the induction session as well
  understanding the companys business. Let us make
  you aware why HR is the most important job in a
  company and what challenges you are going to face
  in your career when it comes to handling HR.
• The big lies from Candidates
• To get the job, candidates can go to any extend.
  Lying in resume is like any days activity. At
  first look you must be able to recognise if
  the profile is genuine or crap. Even at
  the time of interview most of the
  candidates do not hesitate to lie about their
  past experience, qualifications and much more.
  Make sure you have collected and verified each
  document presented by the candidate.
• Very generic and boring cover letter
• Life is too short to read boring cover letters.
  But as the flow of applications starts to
  increase, reading them is going to be your
  daily routine. Now you may take it in two
  directions, reject the application and
  increase efforts on searching more or get
  connected with such candidates and try to train
  them on how they can write an acceptable cover
  letter.
• Candidates never come on time or even no show
• Late arrival of candidates will always be the
  point of worry for you. But the worst of all
  would be the no show after confirmation. When
  all the arrangements are done for the interview
  process, interviewers have dedicated their busy
  schedule to you, and candidates might ditch you
  at the last moment. To save yourself from coming
  under bad lights, make sure you are well
  networked with the candidates and keep yourself
  updated on their activities.

• Dealing with weird candidates
• If no show was a big challenge, than dealing
  with weirdos is much worse. You might come across
  candidates who just woke up from their bed and
  walked in straight for the interview. Adding to
  the awkwardness list is candidates wearing too
  much makeup, no formal attire, and then
  giving lame excuses. This might turn more
  heartbreaking, when candidates ask questions that
  does not relate to this company or job. Take this
  as your responsibility to pass them knowledge
  about the company and its business and guide
  them on ideal interview appearances.
• People might hate you the most
• When you call the candidates to appear for the
  interview, it gives them a light of hope. But
  once rejected you could be the biggest villain of
  all times. Even a Google search for Recruiters
  are ends with options like useless, stupid and
  evil. It is essential to be reasonable with the
  candidates every time you call them for a
  rejection information. But make sure to call them
  back first for the next opening we might come up
  with. These candidates know better about our
  company so conversion could be effective.
• In a few days we will give you training
  on Applicant Tracking System, which is a
  free cloud based recruitment platform to
  manage your hiring process and make
  everything automated. Through this online
  recruitment management system, you can post
  jobs at one-click on leading job sites of
  India, send bulk emails to your talent pool,

  schedules.
• Hopefully this recruitment tracking software,
  will empower you to become the best HR employee
  of the company. My best wishes for your future
  path with us.

• Sri Arardhi
