Disputes and Resolutions
Created By Shambhu Arvind for Agile Informatics Pvt. Ltd.
Today the recruiting industry is going through the most dynamic period of world market. This kind of
dynamism or change has never been witnessed before. The functions of, purely refilling human
resources has given way to providing the whole myriad of recruiting solutions and services.
The gamut of challenges has increased with different industries seeking for different set of people in an
ongoing basis. Varied streams like Finance, IT, Marketing and Sales have changed the course of
recruiting which was basically formed for replenishing factory workers, traditionally.
Huge challenges like matching the correct person with a correct job, loyalty identification and pressure
taking traits are being taken into consideration while selecting candidates. Hence, the models and
marketing theories in relation to recruiting changes day in day out.
These challenges are to be put into a process where the recruiting companies are always ready with the
best resources so as to adhere to demanding clients. Every recruiting firm/business needs a process
through which the “going – to – market” time reduces drastically. Lots of software options are available
but this process could also be customized with traditional tools across every recruiting business.
Integration between the business’ front end and sourcing end is needed and should be impressed upon..
3. Recruitment Management:
Sourcing, Identifying and Recruiting being primary functions have turned into very professional gamut of
skill game. It also encompasses compliance and environmental factors in its mix. From budgeting to legal
parameters, every framework is found in recruiting management nowadays. This makes recruitment
management the most comprehensive user of business functions across the spectrum.

Maturity
Mature economies or mature companies usually have a set of objectives which they need to meet
during their recruiting process. This makes it easy for the stakeholders to zero-in at correct
replenishments. Labour market deregulation across different countries, also play a crucial role.
In Indian market, companies refrain from having Temps but in other markets across the world, it is quite
common. Now, with the maturity level and varied functions, few Indian companies are taking Temp
recruitment seriously.
4. Resource Attraction
The success of any company is valid on the raw materials. Staffing industry’s success depends on
REFINED materials. Attracting and retaining the human resources for others has become considerably
difficult due to immense completion and attraction bargains.
How many times a staffing agency has researched on job description? Seldom, is one word answer.
Consider this example: In case a staffing agency gets a contract for a project manager in a reputed oil &
gas conglomerate. Usually, the staffing agencies, work solely on the base of other brands, thereby
hurting their own. Coming back, if the recruiter or staffer researches not only the company but the
growth avenues of the position, it becomes easy to attract the resource in a single call. Tell him/her
what he/she would gain by accepting the job offer, where does a recruiter see the concerned person in
next 5 years based on industry/company performance.
This will not only attract but also retain the REFINED resource as it is easy for him/her to relate to
somebody who has his/her growth prospects in mind.
Relate and Update Revising Relationships
Just as you require your clients business, If you look closely into any recruiting

5. Demographic and Social Media
The demographics of the whole world are changing and the dynamism of social media is making it easy
to sway all your goodwill in one shot.
A company can have a global impact if it chooses to direct its updates or status in a professional and
timely manner. Content on social media have the power to generate immense profits for companies.
Staffing agencies can gain a lot. Instead of hourly update or daily one, a staffing company can put its
recruiting needs. This will create the presence of one’s company in all corners of the digital world yet
making it accessible to clients and recruits together.
