So do you think the "Trainee Chef" Hired and working in Taj - Mumbai for 10 months, went through the hiring process, was he temporary staffing, or did the Human Resources team miss out on the verifications? Do our process imply on background verifications of Trainee employees? Are we careful enough?
Many organizations have outsourced their background verifications process. And it takes up to several months before the verification is complete. Of-course, IT at this time is many concerned only about fake detection in terms of educational & professional background.
Are the Recruiters - passionate and professional about their Role, or has it become an easily available profession. Are they trained to assess more than paper screening? Are the Hiring Managers sure of their assessment?
1. Hire for yesterday? Lets start with the staffing team accepting what is achievable. Laying down the company policies - we will hire only for tomorrow. Dont commit on what is not feasible. With all the quantity hiring all we have market instability from candidate perspective and attrition increase. We have lost on quality, we are forcing candidates to join early, we are responsible for creating the instability
2. Verification process - reliability? In house or oursourced? So we outsource it to professionals? How many organizations believe in direct verification. Can email and phone verifcation be taken as a confirmation. How many organizations hire only nasscom registered candidates? Monster and Naukri could have controlled fakes long back, by holding a database maintenance team but failed to do so.
3. Organizations and the Recruitment Teams - Are they trained? Is the training process complete and effective? ok so we had a 2 day training period or may be even a week. What is training, is it re-experiencing college life? When do we get experienced professionals to impart practical know how and implementation areas. And how many of these are forced into implementation. Yes we have come a long way, but only in areas where we have external pressure. Cleaning our shop is our responsibility.
We need to start enforcing across the organization, as it is HR depts are cost centers, the least that should be carried out by us is to refine the principles of hiring and live by them.
It's high time that we bulid up a strong background verification process for all jobs irrespective of the sector or domain.HRs def should really play an imp role while selecting.
Hi Subashini & Sunita
And there should not be self-interests in doing that
