Hi Swetha,
I agree with you. It is true that two persons having the same skill and performance are worthy of getting similar jobs and packages. However, in reality, people are getting different jobs with different packages, one higher and the other lower. It all depends on luck, and it's true that branded companies opt for branded people only. After all, it is human psychology that sometimes goes wrong, crazy, and unfair.
To remove these kinds of barriers to some extent, interviews should be conducted purely on an intellectual basis, with a condition that their college names and previously worked company names shouldn't be revealed until the selection process is done.
Thanks & Regards,

Shweta,
Greetings of the Day......!!!!!
A very good question from your side. Your concern is not wrong from any aspect, but let me just tell you the fact about the mentality of these companies. They only look for the attitude in preference to intellectual level or skills. Good institutes only change your attitudes, and even small institutes do too! But, moreover, HR from good companies prefers brands only because you better know that Allen Solly or United Colors of Benetton garments are much more expensive than any other Indian brand. This doesn't mean people don't wear Indian brands. Moreover, 30% of people are only brand conscious because of the premium factor mentality, and the other is comfort, which they get from a branded item.

I accept this. Actually, in a private organization, managers make new clients based on the manpower they have from branded institutes. But how can another experienced person, who is running like a tortoise, reach the same heights? Is there any hope for him? What is the best way to search for a job and secure a position in a branded firm?

Most of the branded companies prefer internal references, thinking that internal employees who know the company well can provide good candidates. It's always good to keep contact with the people who are currently working in the branded companies, as they will be the first to know when a vacancy arises. If they present a candidate's CV, it will hold more value than an outsider doing it.
Another important point is that such companies will not always have vacancies. They may have specific times, like yearly or once every six months, when they conduct large recruitment drives and hire 50-100 new recruits before closing hiring for the current year. Therefore, we also need to keep an eye on these companies and be ready to apply directly when they announce such drives.

Hi Sweta,
I do not agree completely with this whole case. The college brand may help initially to get a platform, but at a later stage, your talent speaks louder than anything. There may be a request for certain adjustments to be made in terms of location, position, etc., but with a wide range of jobs available, one may switch to a deserving place of late.

Hi all,
I am quite confused by the arguments on the Cite HR forum. Why do members only discuss the development of HR, the benefits of HR, and the benefits to employees and employers in all aspects? Let's not harm anyone and discuss in simple language that can be understood by all levels of our community, especially the HR community. Most of the people who use this portal are very senior individuals. Let's consider the freshers who have just finished their MBA in HR and have logged in to seek some HR tips; they will feel overwhelmed like me.
Thank you.
