Hiring a Millennial. Should or should not?


Hiring millennials have never been easy. To attract them companies across the world and global placement agencies had to rethink their entire working model. It is because of the millennials that brand value, work culture and integrated working structures did made their way to define any organization.
Learning became a two way process where millennials taught organizations how technology, social media platforms and socially responsible actions can change the future of work and economy.
However despite that retaining them has always been a challenge where job hopping, lack of emotional connect towards a particular work, easy going nature and individualistic mind set towards growth are largely characterized with them. Non engaging millennials can be a big mess for organizations. 
So sometimes the big questions which HR managers usually face is whether to hire them or not. Hence it is essential that during interview we try to assess their behavioural pattern. Let us discuss some set of questions which we can use while interacting with millennials.
  • What goals do you want to achieve with this job?
It is essential to understand that why a millennial is there for the interview, whether there is a clear understanding about the job role which she or he has to do or it is just for the sake of gaining interview experience is the millennial there. 
  • What have you done in the past that will help you do this job? 
It is always good to understand the experiences of millennials. How have they dealt with a particular situation and how do they perceive work. Here both on-job and off-job experiences can be considered for mapping the situational behaviour of an individual.
  • How would you handle challenges in respect to timeline, customer satisfaction and internal team relations?
In order to understand how easy attitude does an individual holds towards work ethics, it is essential to develop interactions that assess a mindset. Try to make it more casual and stress-free so that the millennial gives free and open insights about his or her thoughts.
  • What kind of relationship would you like to establish with your senior managers and team mates?  
It is generally observed that millennials don’t accept traditional hierarchical system they want more open systems where integrated process systems are involved. Try to bring in the working mechanisms which are established within your organization so that they are already updated about the structure.  
  • Describe your day in office? 
Here a time period with options such as break, meeting, seat sitting time among others can be given to them and then they can decided how much time would they like to spend on each activity. This will give an understanding as to how productive is an individual ready to spend the day.
The list can go on but some of these questions can be helpful in gauging a millennial mind.

4 Factors And Trends Of RPO Agencies That Have Helped Them To Grow


We all know that recruitment is one of the most critical and time-taking jobs of an organisation because it deals with hiring people who will further contribute to its success.
Lawrence Bossidy, the former vice-chairman and executive officer of General Electric, said, “Nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day, you bet on people, not on strategies.”
So, it is clearly evident that every organization focuses its level best on recruiting people who can contribute to the growth of the organization. However, since this is such a tedious process and needs an expert approach, most of the organisations have started outsourcing their recruitment duties to RPO agencies who are an expert in this field.
However, with a continuous change in organizational needs, the kind of recruitment needs also evolve endlessly. In order to accommodate these evolving needs and to stay updated with the new developments.

The most commonly followed factors and trends are:
  1. Data analytics use- These data help the agencies to keep a track of the recruitment process. They also improve the hiring process by saving a lot of time. Since the details of the candidates are already available, the recruitment process is started as soon as the organisation needs a new employee. There is no unnecessary wastage of time in collecting the details of prospective candidates before starting the recruitment process.
  2. Real-time reporting- This process allows the recruitment process to remain transparent. It gives the organisation an idea about the status of recruitment. This, in turn, helps in maintaining a clarity and often makes the entire process more reliable and efficient.
  3. Analysis of the ongoing process- As a consulting partner they also help organisations to analyze their current recruitment process and detect any loopholes, if present. With the help of recent software, the existing hiring processes can be easily checked, and improvements can be made to strengthen them. This analysis helps the organisations to follow an upgraded hiring process and recruit better employees in future. 
  4. Growth in revenue- When it comes to recruitment, RPO agencies are a lot more efficient than the HR department of the organisations. This is because unlike the HR department that has several other responsibilities, RPO agencies just focus on providing quality recruitment services to their clients. Therefore, instead of maintaining a big HR department, organisations prefer to outsource their recruitment from RPO agencies. Shrinkage of the HR department ensures a marked reduction in the expenditure of the company. Moreover, since the employees recruited by an RPO are much more skilled, they prove to be an asset for the company and help to increase the overall revenue of the organisation.

Happy Employees Happy Organizations


Someone has truly said, “You don't build business. You build people and they build the business."
There's no doubt that employees are the most important driving force for an organisation. For a business to succeed, an employer has to work hard to keep the employees happy. However, when we talk about the happiness of the employees, it's not only about the pay cheque, but a lot of other expectations that are far beyond the monetary profits received as salary every month.

Let's have a look at what keeps the employees motivated at work.

1. Flexible work timings
The conventional 9 to 5 jobs need to take a back seat. In the new generation, more and more employees want to enjoy flexible timings at work. Studies have shown that time flexibility  greatly contributes in increasing the productivity of an employee. The employees are stress-free and are able to balance their personal and professional life better. This in turn shows in their performance and thus, results in the growth of business. Many people, especially women, also appreciate if the organisation provides work from home options. This helps them to manage the family and work together. It also helps more number of people to be encouraged to join work and thus utilize their skills in a positive way.
However, on the part of the organisation, giving the benefit  of time flexibility might require a lot of planning and trust, but looking at the positive impact that it has on the employees it is worth giving a try.
2. Discussions on performance rather than the time utilized to complete the goal
Of course every work has a deadline and it needs to be completed before that. However, any work that is done in haste and under pressure cannot be as good as it should be. Sometimes an employee might take a little more time to complete a certain work. Employers must be thoughtful enough to appreciate the efforts and encourage the employees to continue doing good work. A positive attitude towards the good work of an employee would surely motivate him/ her to give the best in future too.
3. Personal communication among each other rather than among the team
Another thing that the employees love about employers is the transparency in communication. It is mostly seen than an issue is addressed commonly to the team, and the team is then left guessing about the problems without actually being able to come to a proper conclusion. It is better to have a one-to-one communication with the employees, where everybody feels recognized and wanted. Personal communication helps the employers to establish a trustworthy bond with the employees.
4. Salary increments based on skills improvised, behavioral pattern and inter-personal relationship build rather than just performance
Usually we see that at the end of the year, a performance report of every employee is taken into consideration and a salary increment chart is prepared. However, nobody seems to worry about how the employee contributes to the overall office culture. It is very important for the employers to recognize people who have been working hard to improve their skills or people who add vibrancy to the environment by their extraordinary inter-personal skills. Such unique talents should also be considered while increasing the salary.

If an organisation wants to be on the top then it must introduce employee-friendly benefits in order to allure the older employees to stay and the newer ones to join. A RPO company can help the organisation to chart out these benefits at the preliminary level so that they can be added to the job profile of the company and can be helpful in attracting skillful employees to the organisation.

Employment Branding And Marketing Strategies - Hiring The Right Candidate


Today’s recruitment process has become very dynamic owing to the changing trends of the corporate structure, industry and market drift. As the candidate base for the companies have increased, the opportunities for the qualified and skilled professionals have also gone up with time. For a person to join a company in current times, there are factors other than just a fat paycheck which influences the decision. With the new generation inclined towards innovation and new work ethics, there is a lot more to the employment criteria. Hence for the employment branding and marketing strategy, the following points need to be considered.
  • The brand image is the first impression of a company on the candidate. Hence it has to put forth the best of the organization. This will help the candidates to relate to their own aspirations in the growth and functioning principles of the company.
  • The reality to the brand image advertising in also very important in this regard. If a company claims for certain pattern of functioning, team management or creativity during employment, it should stick to that definition. It is better not to over commit or hide certain pointers. In both cases, it will create negativity within the employee and will result in faster attrition.
  • The employment branding terms should be in sync with the overall brand position. The industry intricate and job requirements should showcase the image of the company.
  • Now days just a higher salary is not enough to get a skilled professional. Candidates look for knowledge growth, creativity opportunities, emotional attachment initiatives and much more. It is better to have programs and sessions in this regard. This will showcase the career growth opportunities of the individual also.
  • Lastly, not every initiative is meant for every company. Hence, just because some other brand launched a creative program or initiated an employee award function does not mean that it will work for others too. It is better to perform an in-depth R&D regarding the entire requirement and a feasibility study of the schemes before launching them.
The intricate details of the employment branding and marketing:
  • Finally coming to the strategy itself, since this is a comparatively new concept, it is better to collaborate with a HR organization or recruitment firm for the design and follow through of the entire process. It will help in better understanding of the employee life cycle and factors influencing it.
  • Using the existing employees as brand advocates can be beneficial in this segment. They can spread the information about the management scenario and work ethics on social platforms. These inputs are more relatable to the candidates.
  • The hiring managers and recruiters of the company should be able to refer to the employment branding and should be able to represent the information and culture along the similar lines. A comprehensive discussion and training in this case can come in handy.
  • A multi level effort can be yield great results. Billboards, news about an award ceremony, certain interviews of senior management on distinguished channels can grow positive impact.

Traditionally human resource segment was associated with the recruitment process and on boarding of candidates in to a company. The segment functionalities initiated with searching appropriate talents and conducting the selection process in an organized manner. But the corporate environment has undergone many changes in recent years and this has influenced the functioning model of HR segment in a major way. Now the role of HR has expanded even to business and strategic planning in order to secure growth in coming years along with effective crisis management. Previously companies were sceptical about investment in this segment as it was not a direct profit yielding business wing. But that thinking has faded away with recent corporate trends. The following pointers show the parallel connection of HR with business processes and planning.

Building up the future leadership team requires insight and understanding of the current business statistics and market conditions along with future objectives. HR plays a significant role in building up the business strategies by hiring future leaders in accordance with the business objectives.
  • Sometimes, the businesses go through a transition phase due to industry trends or market conditions. This transition is majorly undertaken and conducted by the resources within the organization. But the planning, development and execution of this transition is designed and formulated by the HR in order to overcome any unwanted conflicts and issues with the system or during the development processes.
  • Companies that function at multiple locations have to undergo global placements in order to support the hiring requirements. Global placement process requires an in-depth research regarding the talent availability in relation to market conditions, various legislative frameworks across markets, labour laws and much more. This function and its related activities are handled by the HR segment that is influential in strategic planning.
