As Promised...
Wednesday, April 4, 2007
In an earlier post, I mentioned that I'd discuss a recruitment task that might have most of us in North America failing if charged. Upon further reflection, I think that language was too strong. I'd say we can get pretty scrappy in the US, and we have a tendency to find a way to pull off the miraculous. So, we'd find a way to make the following effort work, but there would definitely be some sweat involved. Without further adeu.......
5000 Candidates...
15 Recruiting Staff...
Four 20 Hour Days...
+/-100 Letters of Intent...
One of our segments in India holds these recruiting fairs several times throughout the year. In a few days' time, they present Hewitt's corporate culture, screen, assess, interview, shortlist, inteview, and make offers from a pool of thousands.
They start around 6am each day and finish around 2am the following morning. When I say "assess", I mean personally administer and score paper assessments on the spot.
And at the end of it all, they've whittled 5000 candidates down to about 100 qualified candidates, and post that final list in the hall for all to see.
Anyway, it made me sweat a little just to hear about. One of the most interesting aspects.......aside from the time spent by the recruiting staff, these events are totally free of charge. Yikes!
