The Broken Recruitment System

It is ridiculously easy for a job-seeker, no matter how qualified, talented & competent, to get beaten down and to start to think there's something wrong with him or her. Its easy to bog down the finest of talents & shatter their dreams.

Hundreds & thousands of amazingly well polished Talents are running haywire because of useless recruitment methods. These processes are insane and sucks out our energies. The recruiting process is broken. Qualified people can't get job interviews and if they do manage to get them it will drive them away.

Many Talents feel frustrated and sucked out that they discount themselves. They think they do not have what it takes to grab that Offer. In reality, YOU are not alone. You are not defective! You are talented, smart and creative but the recruiting process is designed to beat your confidence out of you and grind you down to mush.

The recruiting process is broken from start to finish. The way companies write job ads is ridiculous, ineffective and insulting. The way they screen resumes through mechanical means by searching for keywords is downright idiotic. The way we interview people in a stiff, scripted way that sucks all the juice out of a conversation is embarrassing.


 There is nothing whatsoever lacking in you. If you read job ads you might start to think that everyone else in the world has more qualifications than you do, but that is not true and nearly every job-seeker feels that way.

The biggest problem with the traditional, slow, bureaucratic, and soul-crushing recruiting apparatus is not that you could spend months lobbing applications into it and never get a job. That's bad of course, but it isn't the worst part of the broken recruiting system.

Recruiting practices in most organizations do a better job of driving talents away than inviting talented people in.  If employers care about talents, they'll treat job applicants like gold once they've got them into their pipeline. They'll make recruiting for open positions their highest priority.

"Every organization gets the talent it deserves"

Every research, every recruiter, every employer stand ground on one fact - There is intense talent shortage and we are unable to hire on time My question - Seriously?? Are you so lost that you somehow manage to drift away from reality? Have you lost your touch with the Market? Have you been blinded by the fact that everyone around you is saying that, so even i'm supposed to? Whatever maybe your reason to outline that there is intense shortage of talents, here is the bummer - There are huge talents pools out there waiting for you to tap. Just because your strategies & plans failed doesn't mean it's not there. Either change your approach or be struck with your illusion of Talent Crunch. There are a few Smart Firms who exactly do what others don't. These firms employ the Best Brains. Few such firms have never complained, cribbed nor whined about any kind of shortages.They have always got their fill rates on time, everytime. It is ridiculous for employers to ...

A Visionary And A Legend In Making

“Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success. If other people are putting in 40 hour work weeks and you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing you know that… you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve.” Entrepreneurs and other company workers starved to see ‘Tesla Motors‘ fail due to the company’s products being seen as an attack on mainstream vehicles.
