Kiran, I get the gist of what you are saying. If we have to succeed consistently we need to have a process in place. Like updating the ATS, and logging the information in our database. Making Followup a mandatory step in your process etc., I dont wa…
I might have said #7 slightly differently.
Star Recruiters know their worth and aren't afraid to consistently make commercial decisions to ensure their income matches their skill and effort.
Good Recruiters work hard to please a lot of people and…
I also feel that the labeling of "star" vs. "good" is questionable, although the points here are good ones. I firmly believe that high performers committed to high quality and "doing the right thing" will also be the "stars" (which I interpret in th…
Kiran, What do you mean 'Star' versus 'Good'. Is it better to be 'Good' but you'll make more money being a 'Star'? or does a star flame and burn out while the good recruiter lasts?!
Also on point 7, are you saying it's better to work for the money o…
I think number 7 is underrated by most people, especially candidates. I saw a tweet by a recruiter recently that said something like "I help people finds jobs", which is weird to me. I help companies find great people, and I see a distinct differenc…
Hmmm - I like what you're saying here. I do. Especially the candor in which you wrote. However, if I may offer the "Agency" perspective...my own of course.
In order to be a great, not just good recruiter...you must unapologetically accept that you…
Kiran,
While I am not sure what the criteria is for a person to be a "star" recruiter I do totally get the points you make here and agree. My favorite among the above: #7. Thanks for posting.
If you are a recruiter, and even if you are a star recruiter, make sure that you dont do the below mentioned mistakes as part of your recruitment process. They are criminal and not excusable. Just because your time to fill and cost to fill metrics a…
Two thoughts spring to mind -
1) Today's candidate is tomorrow's client
2) You can tell a lot about a business by the way it goes about recruting it's own staff
Both are true and both would indicate the importance of giving great candidate experien…

Top 7 Mistakes that "Star" Recruiters do & "Good" recruiters dont
If you are a recruiter, and even if you are a star recruiter, make sure that you dont do the below mentioned mistakes as part of your recruitment process. They are criminal and not excusable. Just because your time to fill and cost to fill metrics are good does not mean that you can get away messing up with the process and system.
1. Not entering the data into the Applicant Tracking System.
Lot of so called star recruiters hide behind the excuse that data entry is too tedious and time consuming… Continue

What is Talent???
He was nothing less than extraordinary. It’s been more than a decade that I last saw him, and in all these years I have not come across a more talented person than him. And the best part is, he makes talent look simple, and not complicated.
He topped the University in MBA and got the gold medal. He set a record of 5/5 CGPA. But strangely, I never saw him reading the books. He was early to bed. You can always find him chatting up with friends.
He did not seem to have any special skills per say… Continue

Why manage Candidate Experience?
For the good recruiters handling candidate experience is a natural talent. Some thing they do as part of the recruitment process with or without being conscious of it. A great candidate experience helps the recruiter in more than one way.
Better Screening
First of all, the candidate opens up more than he/she would usually do. So recruiter gets to know more about the candidate, his needs and aspirations, strengths & limitations, hot buttons or even red flags and this gives a better in… Continue

Interview Tips for the Hiring Manager
Well, I know Hiring Managers don't like to be coached on how to do interviewing. But I think they don't mind reading a blog and making those necessary changes... so here I go with some tips.
1. Doing Structured Interviews
Often Hiring Managers do not have a structure around their interviews. When I say structure I don’t mean the sequence of questions but I am referring to more about the logic. For instance not many hiring managers know about the concept of using CAR (context, action, re… Continue
