Making candidate information easily available
Before beginning to screen candidates for a particular job profile, the HR is responsible for collecting and compiling relevant details about them into an easily understandable and accessible format. This data, collected painstakingly, is beneficial for the recruiter who is shortlisting potential candidates to assess and interview for a job opening. The HR only has to visit those folders where they have stored the details of the candidates, identify the most suitable ones and visit those campuses for conducting a recruitment drive. Thus, easy accessibility to candidate information plays an important role in the recruitment process.
What candidate details do the HR require?
What candidate details would help recruiters identify the most suitable ones during the screening process? The answer to this lies entirely in the requirement of the job profile. Some positions might require specific skills such as programming knowledge and coding skills, while others focus on a generic skill set such as problem-solving ability and leadership skill. In such conditions, having all the important details in one place allows the recruiters to easily map the candidates into the right category and assess them for their skills during the campus recruitment drive. Listed below are some of the details that HR collect about students:
These details give an overview of the candidate’s persona and help the hiring team to understand whether they have the desired skills or not.
Collecting candidate details
In conventional method of campus recruitment, generally only 10th, 12th, and degree marks of interested students are shared on excel sheets. A lot of other information such as the projects completed or co-curricular/extra-curricular activities participated in gets missed out as collecting and maintaining resumes of so many students is a tedious task. As a result, a student who hasn’t really scored well gets missed out because of company’s percentage-only shortlisting criteria. Also, since every resume is in a different format it becomes reviewing and shortlisting for the HR a difficult task. One major disadvantage of following the traditional method is that the recruiting firm will be able to reach out only a limited number of students since it will have to bank upon the database that has the information of only a few select candidates.
