Mantras for recruiting

Dissect – Calls – ASK - Notes -  SELL

Fill your note books quick.

Remember you need to finish your note book soon. So, how do you fill it? Fill it with Junk or the draw some pictures? NO

You gotta fill these with all the details you have acquired from the call with the consultant, from his experience.

An effective, open ended question gives a platform to take better notes. These notes are the highlights/lines that you put into an email as a “sell note”, this could be while you send out to your account manager/ to the hiring manager or be it the VMS column for notes.

Remember this, when you turn around the pages in your note book, you must be able to check your progress based on the notes you’ve filled. It must be full of information.

When I started technical recruiting, the then Boss urged ...Take Notes! You have to keep your pen and paper ready every time you dial a number!!

A good recruiter must be able to dissect a resume well.

Like I said previously, you must be able to sell your resume well, written and verbal. To be able to sell your resume well, you gotta know some shit.

The better shit you know, the better will you be able to ask questions like a pro, right?

So, where do I learn to ask better questions from? The answer is From your Calls

Call a lot of folks and spend a lot of minutes in talking to them. If you are speaking to 20 guys then you can borrow each point what the previous consultant stated and turn them into 19 questions for the 20^th consultant that you speak to.

If you are scared to pose a question or clueless on how to frame your question, admit it to the guy that you may not know if this question is relevant, but ASK

I asked:  “Hey I’m not sure how it goes on but there was this consultant whom I spoke to earlier and he was bragging on the number of iterations he had done on his 24 month contract with Intel. So, I would like to know how many you have done coz if it is worth mentioning, I’d not want to miss out the opportunity on mentioning it to the client”

She said: I contracted with Cisco for 24 months and scrum sprints are monthly iterations, which is the whole point of scrum. I led at least 20 iterations with four months into go live.

I’d be better in talking about this to the next consultant; I’d ask him how much iteration and what the periods were spent in go live.

Ask why was he hired on this contract for? Was the product built for internal use or to sell?

Dissect – Calls – ASK - Notes -  SELL(Its a cycle, which you practice to be better)

Also remember the better you read his/her resume the better you know what to ask. Read line by line, apprehend and then frame the questions in your mind while you are going line by line.

Now it is; Read - Dissect – Calls – ASK - Notes -  SELL (I gotta learn creating graphical diagrams, to make this look better) 

Remember to pick up the damn phone and make those calls

PAINT THE COUNTRY SAFFRON

YES, THE TIME HAS COME TO PAINT THE COUNTRY SAFFRON!!! read on...

Every time BJP comes stocks go high, inflation comes down, 30 years in K R Puram and never saw asphalted roads or water supply to home. Last time BJP came in we saw that, recent elections they weren't the chosen one and now KR Puram has no asphalt, neither water to the homes.
Congress and a section of people in the country, their rhetoric was that only people who are communal would vote for BJP/Modi. If so, were these millions of people who opt for good governance and development communal?

In the last 67 years what we saw from congress was minority appeasement! Now I'm communal, because I'm against minority appeasement. Educated and optimistic minorities are not looking for appeasement.
What congress likes to do is keep people in dark, keep them uneducated and make people believe or dupe that what ever they are getting is the best.

Muslims fear Modi! who the fuck says that, go ask a Muslim if he is scared. He will say, I give balls. That is the pro-congress media that spreads this hatred towards BJP/Modi/Hindus.
Congress is infamous for following the divide n rule policy, vote bank politics is their agenda.

Many say he played the dalit card. When did he come out and say I'm a Dalit please vote for me? When did he say, I used to sell tea, so please vote for me?

My first sentence was THE TIME HAS COME TO PAINT THE COUNTRY SAFFRON!!!
Now, a country with 1000s of years of history of a Hindu civilization, who accepted and embraced various religions of the world, who were also oppressed and exploited for centuries by few religions of this world and currently over 100 crore people, Yet, if they want to paint their country saffron, they are "famed" communal

Since morning there are no bounds to my happiness, its been really long
that i have been this happy. The only last time I recall having this sort of, unknown, big happy grin on my face was when my girl friend used to smile and say "hi how are you". She is my wife now 

I thank my friends and the fellow country men for choosing....whom you chose — feeling excited

Bangladeshis, Modi, Hindus and Muslims

I'm not blowin this out of proportion, this happened 2 years back, its just that the Assam govt wasn't of BJP. So, there is all possibility this may happen again. 

Now, lets say, Modi comes into power and he is working on stopping the infiltration meanwhile saddened and frustrated Bodo kill few other Bangladeshis and other Muslims in the country start fights and protest in other cities against the Bangladeshi killing, calling it an ethnic cleansing, then a riot breaks out and thi riot will be really big. Who is responsible? Modi? The Bangaldeshis? The Muslims in India? Or the Hindus? Or the Sickulars?

As far as I see it, in the next 10 years India will riot like Egypt, Iran, very near future Ukraine.
The internal catalyst to this will be Congress/Pseudo-Seculars/AAP.

If people consider that under Modi's leadership India would be fruitful, its too much to expect and things you expect too much leads to disappointment. Even if he were to do the magic, there are a lot of people aimed to make him unsuccessful.
