THE BUSINESS PROPOSITION

RECRUITMENT & SELECTION

Standard Process & Methodology
Overview
Candidates have to go through several layers of personal and technical screening before
getting short-listed.
Identification
On receipt of our clients requirement we shortlist suitable candidates from our databank.
We have a ready databank of thousands of software professionals. We also carry out special
recruitment efforts for specific needs. For these special cases we give advertisement in the
reputed publications to widen our search. Sometimes an event like a walk-in interviews are
also organized.
Dedication
To match the expectations of the clients and candidates, we have dedicated staff to handle
individual accounts of different clients. Minuet/Personalized attention is provided to the
requirement of the clients and fitment of the right resources within the given crucial time
frame.
Communication Skills
Candidates are first interviewed on phone or in person for minimum communication
capability. If the candidate is found okay in communication only then the candidate is invited
with the latest copy of resume with supporting documents .
Preliminary Evaluation
We have detailed guidelines for the preliminary evaluation stage. Here the candidate is
evaluated using various customized tests that tell us more about the written, verbal
communication skills, personality, IQ, EQ, technical skills and other important aspects about
the candidate. The main aim is to verify the suitability of the candidate for the assignments
at hand. The candidate has to appear in person.
Technical Evaluation
If candidate clears the preliminary evaluation stage and everything matches with the client
firms requirement only then is the candidate short-listed for Technical Evaluation. Technical
evaluation too is another systematic and detailed process
Rating
There is a formal evaluation procedure for each of these above-mentioned steps. Total
evaluation is of 100 marks. Minimum qualification criterion is to obtain 60 %. Technical
interview and Technical communication are must to pass. Candidate failing in any of these
two does not qualify. We maintain candidate scorecard that quantifies the results of
evaluation at each stage.
Final Approval
The candidates found suitable for the assignments are short-listed. They are then referred to
the client for final interviews / negotiations.
