The so in thing nowadays seem to be recruiting which organizations are doing in full flow. The level of recruitment in one of the leading outsourcing organizations is so high that they had to conduct interviews in the "CAFETERIA" and even in the parking lot.
But is it alright for this kind of a surge in recruitment ? We had the huge lull of 12-14 months where no one was ready to hire people and suddenly this mad scramble which will ultimately lead to over staffing as every is hiring forecasting demand. Companies like software giants are hiring close to 30,000 people next quarter and one thing this will lead to is the over staffing of organizations.
Its shame we can't find a balanced level which is optimum for the organization and HR is the one who gets stuck in this context because
1) When it is a boom the people just want employees regardless of other factors of salary and when it delays HR take the blame.
2) The recruitment goes on in such an odd fashion it is hard to comprehend and get a grip of situation people are focussed with that other activities of interaction take a backseat
3) To get the best you have to offer the best and in many cases the HR's offer to a candidate looks really nice but it may not be in essence of what is there so it needs parity.
4) Finally in the normal grading for every 100 people brought in 10 have to go out. Thus it is the HR who has to give the bad news of asking these employees to leave which is a shame.
The worst part to all these things is organizations will hire consultants to suggest their opinions and ultimately end up not following them which always confuses me.
Still waiting to find the organization which has a stable level.
