Recruitment process

How to do recruitement

Recruitment is advertising and attracting talent to apply for the job in the organisation.

Recruitment is important process because we want to attract right talent/best fit candidate for the job.

For effective recruitment process employer branding is very important. If employer has good reputation in market, then the employer does not need to spend a lot of money to attract top talent for the job. Employer branding can be done by improving work environment, safety and by giving good facilities to the employees. Employees love to work in the company which has good and employee friendly policies, good work environment, good and inclusive culture.

HR leaders must design employee friendly and legally compliant policies for the business. Word of mouth plays very important role in employer branding. Unfair labour practices must be strictly avoided.

Once you have good reputation as an employer amongst the potential candidates then your advertisement will get good response and many candidates would apply. Once we get maximum job applications then we have many options available. Once there are many options available then we can screen the applications as per the job analysis/ Job description.

Once we have scrutinised applications then we can call the candidates and understand their roles, responsibilities. We need to evaluate candidates on competency, performance and behaviour. This can be achieved through asking candidates about their real life experience examples or for evaluating competency or behaviour we can ask the candidate to solve case study. If candidate has written fake things in his resume, then we will come to know about this through the candidates answer to the case study.

Once telephonic interview is done then we can have video conference with the candidate and now we can involve the technical expert and ask him to evaluate candidate on technical aspects. In presence of HR the candidate will now be evaluated in technical competencies (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities – KSA’s). Once suitability is understood then we can call the candidate for next level round face to face. In face to face interview we can further ask questions in greater details and can involve senior SME’s to interview the candidate. At this stage we can send the candidate to assessment center to evalute candidate further using software. Once evaluation gives proper results then we can negotiate salary with the candidate. Once salary gets accepted then we can send the candidate for medical examination. Based on medical test results we can give final offer to the candidate.

Power of business Intelligence

Power of Business Intelligence

Business owner has to be always aware about the vital information about the business. The vital information about business progress is called as Key Performance indicators (KPI). Businesses decide KPI’s at the beginning of financial year and often evaluate at the end of the year but if you know that you have not achieved your target results at the end of the year is it of any worth? The answer is purely NO, No, No.

You need to know current status of KPI achievement progress at any given point of time but the KPI progress observing daily and routinely is not possible with big data. It can be achieved through dashboards as dashboards give all the required information at one place and visuals make it easy to understand the current progress in less amount of time. If the dashboards are interactive, then deep diving to understand current situation is easy and is an added advantage.

In current scenario, organisations depend on Data analysis which is done on excel. Doing analysis in excel includes requirement of data analyst. This requirement adds in expenses as you have to pay salary to the analyst and sometimes the analysis will not be accurate. Accurate dashboards are very important. Suppose you have BP measuring machine which has low accuracy, will you rely on it’s results? The answer is no. If you have an experienced analyst with high accuracy, then also the analyst will take time to analyse and send you data which then will be required to be seen on PC and the analysis will not be real-time. In addition to that you need to pay high salary to the experienced analyst.

Now if you use BI solutions like Power BI & Tableau, the data is refreshed automatically and always accurate. The dashboards are available on mobile and hence the dashboards preparation salary expenses for employing analyst get reduced, accuracy increased, speed is increased, data is real-time and you can drill down in the data to get deeper insights on the data.

Now with Business Intelligence we can see our business progress anytime anywhere and this is very important for the business owner or functional leader to check progress and if problem then address the problems immediately so that the final results are achieved as per the set target.

So, what is your decision, will you adopt BI or will you stick to your old excel?

Your decision will determine success of your business.

How to get rid of fear of failure

How to get rid of fear of failure or fear of change

We often get scared of starting anything new that is called as resistance to change. Human mental infrastructure is naturally resistant to change since stone age. In Stone age we had to fight with predators and hunt for survival. If humans living in one area migrated to other area they faced unknown dangers and sometimes they even had to flee from the new place. So it become natural tendency to remain at one place usually the place where they born and their parents taught them about the dangers present in their place of residence and tricks to get rid of them.

Due to this, human beings have got resistance to change n their genes. Now situation is different, if you do some changes you will always face new challenges but usually the challenges are not life threatening. e.g. If Mr. 'A’ quits his job and start a new business then what is going to happen? If Mr 'A' becomes successful I he will get profit which will be much multiple times more than the salary, he is getting now but small chance of failure scares him a lot. If Mr. 'A' has 80% chances of success in his new venture and 20% of failure Mr. A should take the calculated risk and start the venture but his worry about 20% chances of failure overpower and usually Mr. A ends up in continuing his job and after few years he loses his present job due to recession in market.

There is nothing constant in the world. Risks are there in every aspect of life and people who are willing to take calculated risk become rich and successful in their lives and people who are adamant to change end up in getting nothing in their life.

Change is inevitable. Change is everywhere e.g. if you are doing some activity in X way before 2 years and now if you are doing the same activity in the same way you are out of the competition. To remain in competition, you need to learn to do that activity according to new business requirements. You will need to learn new technology and use it to do your job efficiently. Today's business is all about speed and accuracy. How fast you can produce & deliver quality product is the key market requirement. It is like a race, even if you are late by micro seconds then you are not first you are second. If you are doing job in corporate environment still you have to compete with the co-workers and have to be more efficient and accurate to save your job, to get good salary hikes and to get promoted.

Learning to change is very beneficial. SO remove fears of failure and go ahead but do some study before doing so. Don’t take blind risks. Take calculated risks and maximize chances of success by deciding appropriate strategy. Take help of others to do SWOT analysis. Use decision making tools like Decision tree, Pareto analysis, Mind Maps. There are many other tools you can use. Use one or multiple tools and if there are chances of success more than 70% then go ahead and do it.

Meditation

Meditation

 Mind Body Fitness

At present everybody is suffering because of overthinking, stress, depression, anxiety, Blood pressure, Diabetes, Kidney related ailments, Digestion problems. Meditation is the only permanent solution to this problems.

This causes many other problems like low job performance, low level of concentration, lesser attention span, inability to communicate effectively and so on.

In common work scenarios employees get trained on improving job skills, presentation skills, communication skills and behavioural development but the results or Return on investment (ROI) is not achieved. Often it is said that, results are not getting achieved because trainers are inefficient but in reality trainers put their heart in training the individuals but miserably fail in engaging the audience.

Why audience does not get engaged even if they know why the training is important to achieve professional growth?

This happens because lack of ability to concentrate and comprehend. This happens because, our natural ability to concentrate and learn is getting reduced because our minds are constantly occupied with thoughts. It is like mobile or computer running so many programs at a time and then slows down or programs get crashed very frequently then we have to take help of IT as RAM is not sufficient. Human brain has also limited short term memory ant it gets occupied by so many of thoughts.

To clear mind from thoughts, to increase decision making ability and concentration - meditation / mindfulness is very important.

There are many ways to do meditation but following breath where breath stops between inhalation and exhalation , exhalation and inhalation increases our awareness and reduce thoughts significantly.

We can also make inhales and exhales of equal durations and follow the breathe (observe how breath enters and exits, where it goes and so on)

We can concentrate on tip of nose or in the middle of eyebrows (Open or closed eyes)

Mediation relaxes mind & body. It has immense health benefits.

It is recommended to perform anulom-viom pronayama before starting meditation. Pranayama helps to calm the mind and increase concentration.

Don't pus al lot. be calm. Concentration increases gradually and it cannot be achieved in first try only. So don't hurry. Be compassionate and observe your breath. Don't have any desire to achieve concentration or benefits. You will get the benefits but desire becomes distraction so try to attain vairagya (desire less)
