Tips for sourcing profiles using Internet without Naukri or Monster

Everyone knows how to source profiles from Naukri or Monster. But do you know more than 50% of positions are filled without the use of these sources.  I guess everybody understands that anyone can source profiles from job portals, actual capability of recruiter is known only if he/she is able to source profiles from other mediums.

To help our referrers, we have put some of easy internet tips for sourcing profiles.  These means are only useful when the targeted candidate is an internet savvy person.  Also it is an understood fact that these tips are not fastest means of sourcing profiles, but if used effectively they are the best and the cheapest means to get profiles.

1.       Linkedin:  Linkedin.com is the most premium source for finding people and by far the most professional social networking website you can easily find people with background of IT, Sales, Marketing and Finance here.

 

There are few important points you need to take care. Keep your LinkedIn profile fully updated. Connect with as many people as possible. Become an open networker on LinkedIn by sharing your contact details on the profile. Start doing job postings in relevant groups, don’t post two many jobs as people might consider you as a spammer

 

You can also search through profiles on LinkedIn which makes it’s extremely handy when you are targeting a very niche crowd, the only problem is you might not necessarily find contact details of the person.  To be able to search more people you need to have more connections, But you can send message to them if you belong to the same group in LinkedIn, also try to search in other social networks like orkut, from which you can connect to this person, last but not the least way could be calling them up on there corporate board line .

 

2.       Orkut & Facebook:  Orkut & Facebook are informal social networks, you find all sorts of people there. The best way to target people here is dropping scraps or messages to them. You can target the right candidate by searching either on skill sets or educational background, another way of identifying is looking people from relevant technology or educational communities. Try adding as many people as possible also make sure that they know you are recruiter who is hunting for people. This will increase your chances for connecting with them if they are looking for a change.

 

3.       Free Job posting websites which are targeted towards niche skill sets attract lot of good candidates make sure you post your jobs there.

 

4.       Blogging is another means of sourcing good profiles as most websites are search engine optimized, your blogs are read by all sorts of people searching for jobs or related information, make sure you share the jobs which are hot with you and also share some career or recruitment related advice so that you can build instant rapport with people reading your blog, you can also get advise related information from various other internet sources. This is very successful means of sourcing good profiles.

 

5.       Posting jobs on Yahoo and Google groups has been another very successful means of getting profiles, only thing you need to make sure you are member of the right groups which are related to jobs or technology or education.  Also keep posting jobs in new groups to reach to more and more people. Don’t mind posting jobs on groups even if they are small in size.

 

6.       Google: Google is a known means for searching anything on net, but what most people don’t realize is it is very good means to search for profiles, many people maintain there professional profiles on there personal websites. They can be easily searched using Google, you can use keywords like ‘Resume’ India and skill sets depending on what you are looking for,  also you can set Google Alerts for certain niche skill set. This gives you an email as soon as any body updates appropriate information on the web. This is a very powerful means to search for profiles on web. And can be utilized to your benefit. 

 

You can also search for various databases stored on the web by searching for email id with using a combination of filetype: xls, this will search through all excel sheets with relevant information.  Say you want to search for people from a company named XYZ, most probably there company mail id would ending with xyz.com.  So you can identify database with his mail id by putting search keyword as @xyz.com filetype: xls

 

I am hopeful that these tips would be found useful by our referrers. If you have any more tips feel free to add them on our comments section in the blog.

5 ways to motivate Employees at Work

Pre-Screened candidates to Corporates

Over the last few weeks, we spoke to various assessment companies as well as corporates about one of our offerings, where in we propose to provide role based self assessment services and sharing the results objectively to Corporate. We were amazed by the response from both the assessment company as well as the corporate. We will come up with more updates on this later. Watch this space for more information.

Career Counseling for Professionals

When one thinks of career counseling, the picture coming to mind is that of assisting students to select the right course. However, at Zyoin.com, we are working on a product definition for a counseling engine for working professionals. Now what’s that! OK. Most of the professionals, post joining a particular industry, start getting into the debate on whether they are in the right industry doing the right jobs or not.

Take for an instance the case of Software Industry, a professional with 3-4 years of experience goes through the dilemma of whether concentrating more on technology and choosing the Tech Lead (and Tech Architect subsequently) as a possible career option or look at other options like Project Lead ( and Project Manager subsequently). These days professionals also look at some totally different career options like getting into pre-sales or quality management.

How do they decide, which one to choose? They look at various options for the required consultation. Talking to friend/relatives they trust, discussing with their immediate managers or getting in touch with professionals in each of the shortlisted role in their current organization to see what it takes to be in either role and finally doing some internet research.

But how does some one help a person decide his career path? In our opinion, its based on a person’s strength & weakness in the selected domain, their interest and finally their attitude & aptitude. If a Sr. professional, gets approached for counseling, either he knows the candidates so well that he has fair idea about each of the criteria listed above or he gathers this information in the process of counseling and suggests one of the possible career option.

The bigger question is whether this process can be automated with Technology? We believe, yes it can be. And it’s based on two key assumptions, First, We can assess a candidate to know their strength & weakness, aptitude & attitude and interest and secondly the no of possible career options a professionals has in a particular industry is limited. Our Job becomes doing the right match, by suggesting the right role to the right candidate. Once the system is built, it needs to be continuously updated to make it mature over time.

5 steps for entrepreneurial success

5 steps for entrepreneurial Success (http://www.rediff.com/getahead/2008/jul/17ent.htm)

 

 

 

 

Entrepreneurship has come of age. There is a lot of interest among career professionals to start their own enterprise sooner or later, but a majority of them stay back mainly because of the upfront investment involved and the risk of the venture not meeting its intended goal.

Of course there is risk involved, but not working towards the goal of starting your own enterprise some day is a bigger dissatisfaction for many. Here are some simple steps that most professionals can take, which would work out to be a stepping stone for your future start-ups.

Identify your areas of interest
Entrepreneurship is not only about building a large enterprise and making millions of dollars. It’s a great deal about doing some thing that really interests you and as a result the whole journey of making an enterprise becomes an enjoyable experience.

Imagine a gaming freak developing an unique gaming portal, not only do the chances of the portal being successful increase manifold, the team actually enjoys the whole process of developing the product.

Identifying one’s broad areas of interest is the first concrete step towards entrepreneurship.

Identify your dream role
A great team makes a great company. A great team means the founding team with complimentary skill sets. Even though entrepreneurs should have good exposure to all the different functions of running an enterprise, identifying a particular business function that gives one the maximum satisfaction is quiet important.

So, if you are naturally bent towards technology, you can look at being the chief technology guy of your future start-up. While you keep honing your technical skills, it’s important that you have a wider perspective of your broad area of interest.

Look at existing start-ups
There are start-ups being formed on a daily basis and there is a good chance that you can identify a list of start-ups in your broad area of interest and shortlist the ones that really excite you. You can also negotiate the role of your choice to a large extent. Start-ups do provide such kind of flexibility.

So by joining one such start-up, you not only get a chance to work in your chosen area of interest and get a role that prepares you for your dream role, you actually get to experience the start-up experience from close quarters and what’s more, you get paid for it as well!

There can’t be a better way to check whether building an organisation is in your DNA than working for a start-up! Last but not the least, you also have the possibility of meeting the other founding members of your future start-up!

Equity vs cash
Any start-up, either backed by a venture fund or self funded by an entrepreneur, always has cash flow pressure. There are a number of avenues to spend money and they need to do the prioritisation, where as equity is one thing that every founding team would like to share with deserving candidates.

So, if you are quite bullish on your area of interest and you also get your desired role in a start-up, go ahead and agree on a remuneration package that is equity heavy. This would not only give you great returns in the event of the start-up becoming successful, you also create a good impression in the eyes of the founders, resulting in greater responsibilities being assigned to you! Needless to say that greater responsibilities means being more prepared for your own future start-up.

Being on your own
If you happen to have gone through the above steps yourself, there is every chance that you do not need to go through articles like this one. You would have seen start-ups from close quarters and would be in touch with so many other entrepreneurs / aspiring entrepreneurs that either you would be working in some start-up or other at a much higher responsibility or attracting future entrepreneurs to work for you in your very own start-up.

 

 

5 career needs of every professional

5 career needs of every professional Krishnakumar (http://www.rediff.com/getahead/2008/jun/06career.htm)

    

In today’s economy, you need to evolve constantly if you want your career to go places. If you don’t, there is every possibility that one of your colleagues/ classmates will walk away with the coveted position that you aspired to.

So how does one add value to oneself? Here are five steps that will meet all your career advancement needs:

Self learning

Learning is an ongoing lifelong process, we learn a little from everything we do. Career advancement requires a structured form of learning. If you are aspiring to a higher role within or outside your organisation, you need to identify the competency that role demands and go about acquiring the same. Some of the best-managed companies provide such learning tools to their employees.

Self assessment

Know yourself and where you stand — it’s important if you’re planning your own growth chart. We are assessed by others whenever we are interviewed for job openings and promotions, so stay one step ahead and assess yourself first. You need to work on areas where there is room for improvement. If you come from a technology background, for example and you think you have mastered a particular technological tool, go ahead and get certified. This will add a lot of value to your professional standing and will pay off richly in future.

Peer discussions

Life’s lessons are learned through community interaction and that holds true for our professional lives too. Whenever you get time off from your busy schedule, utilise it positively by interacting with your peers and discussing common areas of interest. If you can’t meet up in person, use the Internet — there are lots of professional networking portals and some of them have large numbers of qualified professionals as members. This informal knowledge-gathering complements the disciplined self-learning approach discussed above.

Career counselling

Everyone needs expert advice and counselling from time to time. We hear about godfathers and political gurus all the time, but unfortunately we do not recognise the relevance of professional mentors, thanks to the job opportunities economic growth has brought to India. There are, however, several intelligent folk who model their careers along similar lines as their seniors and heed the latter’s advice in matters involving career growth. Sometimes it’s also a good idea to opt for career counselling — it helps one identify which professional path has the maximum scope for growth and job satisfaction.

Look before you leap

Several youngsters take up new jobs/designations because they offer better monetary compensation. If you are clear about your career growth pattern, monetary return should be a secondary criterion — first comes future growth potential. You also need to verify offers made to you by potential employers or your boss — discuss your new responsibilities thoroughly and only if you are completely convinced should you take up the new challenge.
