MORE ABOUT Recruitment

• Recruitment services in India

  The recruitment industry is probably one of the oldest among the service industries in the world and it is still the largest segment of the HR industry with an annual turnover of over 400 billion globally. In India, recruitment services started about 20 years back when the economy got liberalized and there was a sudden spike in the demand for talent.

  What is the best and the cheapest job placement service is a question on every recruiters mind. Organisations are trying to improve their recruitment efforts through the use of systems, policy, software, and outsourcing consultants who can help them find talent cheap and fast. Placement services command the maximum share of the HR services space in India, and manpower recruitment services have cropped up in all the major cities of the country, including Delhi, NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. The best employment service agencies offer part or all of the following staffing services— definitions, software, list of candidates, candidate selection, shortlisting, and consulting.

  Staffing services is the new entrant in India and more and more organisations are moving toward the concept of temporary recruitment and contractual staffing. Executive search consulting is growing in India and a number of global executive search consultants have started operations in India.

• Difference between job placement services and job consultants

  If someone does search for downloading a list of recruitment companies in the Delhi NCR region, agencies and services of hundreds of offshore recruitment services spring up. Most placement services providers across the country claim to be job consultancy services. Recruiters, therefore, find it very difficult to determine the difference between job placement services and job consultancy services.

  A typical difference between a job placement service vs. job consultant service is the level of involvement of the HR services provider with the hiring organisation. If the employment services consultant is part of the process for chalking out the recruitment policy and desired candidate profile besides providing actual job placement services, then the employment services provider can be called a job consultant.
