According to the CareerPlug’s 2024 Candidate Experience Report, 52% of surveyed candidates reject a job offer if the recruitment process gives them a negative impression. This provides a clear conclusion that properly performed recruitment activities, which include clear steps, transparent communication, and the provision of feedback, have a better chance of attracting the right candidate.
At our subsidiary in India, we follow global trends and create processes that allow us to hire the best candidates from the market. How do we do this? Find out by learning about our robust and efficient IT recruitment process.
Key Elements of Our Recruitment Process
Candidate Filtering
The primary and first step is a thorough analysis and filtering of candidates, in which we use industry-recognized tools (such as Naukri.com and LinkedIn) to reach the most appropriate professionals. This allows us to maximize the match between the candidate and the role we seek. Our technical recruiters have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the requirements of specific roles, allowing them to assess candidates’ skills and experience effectively. We maintain open communication, so candidates are constantly informed of what awaits them at each stage and our expectations.
Technical Verification
The key to matching a candidate to a project role is to validate their technical skills. Our senior leaders test candidates’ competence and authenticity during this stage through precisely designed tests and questions. They can also assess candidates’ commitment by analyzing their answers and the questions they ask. If the role requires it, we add additional stages at this point, such as an interview with a client for a complete fit. We strive for an atmosphere where the candidate feels comfortable asking questions and ensuring they get clear answers.
Alignment Verification
Every company is created by people, and in the case of a global organization such as ours, we ensure our employees are the right fit for the organizational culture communicatively, linguistically, and culturally. We examine how well the candidate fits into the team they will be a part of and what motivations and expectations they have. This allows us to be confident that new employees will work effectively with the rest of the team and achieve common goals. We also ensure clear communication of values and goals on our part so that candidates can fully understand how their skills and values fit into our goals and company culture.
Our solid hiring process strongly considers the candidate's experience, seniority and reliability. This is why we have better retention and attrition ratios than the market average.
