We are having difficulties finding two suitable candidates for the sales profile. It is primarily a client acquisition role for financial products and is based in Dadar, Mumbai. We do not want to engage a HR agency at the moment but have subscribed to a job site < mon*.com>. It has been almost 2 months, and we are still unable to find a single candidate.
Question:
1. We are planning to offer a take-home salary of 15k plus actual TA. Is this not a fair salary for this profile?
2. We do not have a dominant brand presence but are known in Mumbai's broking industry. Is this lack of brand recognition causing challenges in attracting candidates?
3. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could provide guidance on how to hire a candidate.
Thanks & regards

Dear Anirban,
What is the target to be achieved in this role? How is this role more competitive than what others are offering? Which group of job seekers are you targeting, the active or the passive one?
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Dear Anirban,
While shedding more light on the JD/JS and the required competence for this profile will make it more appealing even to passive candidates. You must also specify if the candidate needs to be from the specified vicinity and the target threshold as mentioned by (Cite Contribution).
Having said all this, I would also like to acknowledge all the time you've spent waiting for the right candidate. I suggest you allow local Placement Agencies to provide you with shortlisted candidates. Since the number of positions to fill is small (i.e., 2), you can pay them on a per-shortlisted-candidate basis. This will be light on your pockets and also relieve you of the stress quickly; hopefully!
Kindly let me know if you need further assistance.
Thank you.

Dear Sajal,
Thank you for the suggestion. I have already posted the JD. Please have a look. However, as I mentioned initially, we don't want to involve any job agency. It would be great if people from this group could guide us to find two candidates.

Hi Anirban,
Local staffing consultants would be the easiest bet. They have the best network and know who is looking for the job. Having said that, you should look at our product where you can crowdsource talent!
