Phew... I have always been on the other side of the table. Recruiting & interviewing. I just shifted to this side and I see a big mess. My own experience while looking out for a job makes me realise just how difficult things are, crazy almost. There are so many people out there, some posing to be recruiters, head hunters, some premium recruiters, some marketing guys just there to get contacts. and among all of these are the Real Recruiters, lost in the crowd. Most of them wondering why it is so difficult to source quality profiles & attract talent. The talent is probably being attracted & deceived by the fake ones.There seem to be a large number of these fake recruiters, faking job openings, clearly taking disadvantage of desperate people looking for an opportunity.
There is absolutely no clarity about what is really going on. One can never be sure whether a job posted either on the social networking sites is for real or whether this person that you sent your resume to is a recruiter at all. For all you know, this post may be a way of getting your contact details. The increase in hiring numbers via social networking sites is an only hope in this mess.
This chaos is making finding jobs an even more difficult task. According to people matters, India needs to create 1.5 million jobs in the next decade. About the numbers, I am not so sure. I wonder, how job openings how much ever in number, will reach job seekers if this situation continues.
