Executive Search Firm & Placement Consultants for Top/ Middle Management and IT Recruitment in India

Here we discuss few common methods of searching a job viz. placements agencies, jobportals and employee referral. As we are a leading Executive Search Firm, we understand pros and cons of these options very well.

Search by forwarding your CV to few top recruitment companies has its own advantages and disadvantages, while the same is also true for a search by uploading your Profile on job portals.

Job Portals these days have become an excellent tool to search jobs very quickly. The day you upload your resume on the portal you start getting job mailers and interview calls. Though we represent a leading placement agency, we still suggest job portals as the best and the fastest way to search jobs at all levels, industries and areas. Be cautious to make it confidential else your current employer can always see your profile. To making it confidential, use nickname (and not actual name), alternative email id/ phone no and choose hide from my present company if such o[tion is provided by the Job Portal. Your question might be, how these job portals can get you numerous and immediate responses. It’s just because Job Portals are used by thousands of HR Agenices and direct employers. These days almost all major consultants (including the one’s you may approach directly) use job portals like Naukri & Monster. Major drawback here is that your CV becomes a public property, your current employer may find it, you may get numerous calls for irrelevant job offers, your mail inbox may become redundant due to numerous job mailers and you may keep getting calls even if you have found a new job and tried blocking your profile on the Job Portal.

Second we consider placement companies. Initial task here is to find few top search firms who have actually handled successfully large number of hiring assignments at your level, profile and industry. Like for top Management hiring few leading consultants are Mukul Consultants, Manpower, Mafoi etc. Google can help you somewhat in this task. Once you find some big ones, try speaking to them if they have currently any relevant openings (answer would normally be yes, even if they don’t have it). Forward your profile to few consultants who show interest in the same. You need not search or forward your resume to small consultants, as it may just be waste of your time. One advantage of going through recruitment agencies is that you can be sure of confidentiality. Second advantage is that many big Companies only depend on these Consultants for their recruitment. Third and the most important is that big search firms can make a real difference to chances of your selection, as they are trusted and relied upon by their clients and do influence their decisions.

Third method of job search could be employee referral, especially in sectors like IT & BPO where these referrals are used extensively. So if you have a known person in your dream company, reach out to him, and he would be very happy to forward your profile (as he will get employee referral fee from his current company). This is a very important method of recruitment (for you and for companies) as selection chances for you are high and cost of recruitment for employers is low.
