Hiring the right candidate is a challenge for the recruitment team of any company. The process of hiring candidates can differ from company to company. Different sources such as job sites, networking, and consulting firms can be used to get the right candidate, but most companies prefer to hire a candidate from their own employee network. Before starting the hiring process, a recruiter should have a proper understanding of the candidate profile that fits the company's requirements.
Normally, this process starts by screening candidate resumes fetched from different sources. Once they have resumes of appropriate candidates, the recruitment team starts working on resumes one by one. Recruiters talk to potential candidates and enquire about their skills and test their interpersonal skills. Recruiters play an important role in the hiring process; they prepare candidates for interview and provide interview feedback.
