First Match vs Best Match

January 5, 2021 ~ Ankita Poddar ~ Leave a comment

Recruitment is tough. No matter how hard you try, there are always more requisitions that need to be filled. I have limited experience in talent acquisition but can sympathize. Year after year, businesses plan for a certain intake and invariably during the year shuffle those numbers. Once a requisition opens, you line up many many … Continue reading First Match vs Best Match

Working After COVID-19: What to Expect

May 19, 2020 ~ Ankita Poddar ~ Leave a comment

The internet is overflowing with predictions on what life and work will look after the pandemic.

The truth behind internal equity

January 3, 2020 ~ Ankita Poddar ~ Leave a comment

If you have worked in HR long enough, you have without doubt used the term internal equity/parity at least once.

The hiring teams have one of the toughest jobs in the organization. They have a herculean task of closing requisitions at the wild pace at which businesses open them. Added to that, they also face immense pressure to get the right people into the organization. Given the circumstances, it is only fair that to bring … Continue reading People Analytics 101: Getting Hiring Right

When it stops at hiring!

October 3, 2013 ~ Ankita Poddar ~ Leave a comment

I heard some of the most disturbing lines in my career today morning. I was having a conversation with a recruiter who hires for one of our largest business units. He said – ‘Our job is to hire. It doesn't matter how he performs post hiring. If the manager is on the fence, we urge … Continue reading When it stops at hiring!
