Challenges in Recruitment – Dr Nirmal Singh Rana, Associate Vice President – HR, FENA

“Visionary and talented employees are the sole strength, which take the organisation forward. In the competitive word, where only 21 % of the educated workforce is employable, there is a huge gap in required Knowledge, Skills and Attitude of the available workforce. Attracting and retaining the millennial talent with requisite competencies, is a major challenge for recruiters. Alignment of culture and work environment to satisfy the need of the talent is another challenge for the organisation. The millennial folk lack attachment to organisation’s work norms and culture and therefore tend to hop jobs more often than other Gen X generation. In order to meet these challenges, the speed and quality of recruitment and selection processes has to be revamped by adopting multiple channels and tools for talent attraction”.
