I have been a recruiter for 5 years now. Being a recruiter is a great feeling. I wanted to capture in this thread the challenges faced by various recruiters in hiring the right talent for the right job?
I will start with mine-
1. Though our country is plenty of Talent, the skilled resources are still a scarcity. Filtering 2 candidates for a job from the candidate database of 1000 is a great challenge.
2.You freeze on a candidate for interview, you schedule an interview, many a times candidates do not turn up for the interviews and they call you and give all possible reasons....
I leave the rest to be added by my co-members of CiteHR, i know you carry more experience and knowledge than what i do.
Thanks,

Here are few :
- First of all, it is difficult to match the job description with the bunch if resumes.
- Recruirer faces problems in finding out the right candidate due to various organisational diffrences, cultural diffrences and attitudes.
- The main challange for he recruiter is, he/she should be able to relate the job descriotion to the resume of the candidates. This is time consuming and complex.
- If you are sourcing from internet, you will get thousands of resume for a single position. To reduce the wastage of your time, you can use the various search strings to find out the specific resume.
