Hi,

I have a question for HR professional..can 2 min of telephonic round is enough for judging a candidate with 5 yrs of experience in recruitment..

One of my friend who is MBA HR with more than 5 yrs of experience in recruitment ..he is from corporate sector..he want to move to recruitment firm for challenging job..he has given interview in one of the top recruitment firm in india.. he cleared 3 face to face round and pshycometric round also ..in internal hr of recruitment firm inform him that a new Head HR has joined anh he want to take a telephonic round..the guy was fine with that.. next day the Head HR calls up and spoke to him for hardly one min and asked him that why you want to move from corporate to consulting firm.. he asked saying that he need a big platform in recruitment..the Head HR has kept him on hold. The internal hr of that recruitment firm were also shocked after geting the feedabck...b'coz they have met him in person ..

I have 2 question for Senior HR experts..

1. Is 1 min telephonic round is sufficient to judge a candidate with 5 yrs of exp..?

2. After you reach to high position and have lot of experience, your risk taking capabilites becomes zero and every move you do, you ensure that there is no risk..

Please send me you suggestion and views on this situation..

Rgds,

Yes it is possible to judge a person in telephonic
the way you present yourself can easily judge a person
even if he is not 5 yrs one yr is also can do tht exp is not a constraint for telephonic interview
yes i got selected for a company only thru telephonic interview from US and in india.
only for the final discussion i went to meet face to face.
the reason for your friend told is not what he expects

Yes,i agree with the telephonic round of interview just for 2 min<,
Hr professionals are experts in understanding the consultants views,qureies,etc.
As the comment you posted regarding the coverstory.
Well,the consultant worked for corporate wants to realise the dream and to path his career in recruitments firm should have give a perfet matching answer.He should say with a dream oriented words not simple saying .
Always give great solution so that the hr go further hiring you as aneeded consultant............

Hi Charu
It is not the 2 Minutes which counts , it is what you say in those two minutes that count. Maybe the Head HR was not convinced about his reply or may be he was lacking conviction in his tone or may be he lacked the confidence or communication skills which he was expecting from a Recruiter with 5 Year expereince.
I agree that if you are looking for a very specific thing in a candidate, you can judge by asking 1 or two questions. If the candidate conforms to the pre requisite than the intervieer will proceed for a further scrutiny, otherwise he will stop further interaction.
I'll say it is a matter of expectations of an Interviewer after looking at the profile.
But Yes, it is possible to judge very quickly with pointed questioning as to where the candidate stands.
Good HR Associate.
