Manpower Requirement In India- HR Consultants To Play Crucial Role

I remember the speech of Indian President Pratibha Patil, she delivered at post-centennial silver jubilee celebration of Deccan Education Society and Fergusson College. She asked the colleges to plan effectively to meet out growing demand of skilled manpower to contribute in nation’s progress. A report recently released by Associated Chambers of Commerce & Industry states that more than 87.40 million jobs are going to be created soon in different business sectors by 2015. Are we ready to meet the challenge or will we depend upon outsourcing of talent from outside of country? This question makes the ‘Manpower Requirement in India’ a topic of common interest.

During last couple of decades, education industry for almost every stream flourished at fast rate in India.   As a result, today we have sufficient pool of skilled manpower to take on the new challenges being poised by the globalization. But it hurts me that like in US unemployment rate in India too is on rise. When industrial development in India is drawing attention of almost all the countries, then what are the reasons that trigger growth in unemployment rate?

The practices adopted for manpower requirement in India are far behind from those being adopted in developed countries. The exposure of vacancies and opportunities are not exposed well. Comparatively less availability of Internet in remote places is another reason that keeps the majority of well educated youths refrain from grabbing opportunities. National employment exchange is also not as much effective as such cells are in other countries.

Some leading companies conduct campus interviews but the passed out candidates don’t viagra the information in time and if they are employed they don’t get leave to attend the interview. So, limitations and reason are many, some of these are natural while some are created by ourselves.
HR consultants in India especially in New Delhi are emerging fast as a great help for the unemployed youths. These consultants have wide pool of vacancies and job seekers both. When an employer or job seeker approaches to these agencies, the professionals match the requirements and inform the both. It seems that HR consultants in Delhi hold the key to solve the foreseen problems of manpower requirement in India.

India has always been the attraction centre not only for young professionals but for experienced professionals too, who want to accelerate their career growth. India has its special image among the expatriates for providing lucrative jobs in many trades. The ambitious professionals, who want rapid rise in their earnings, hunt the suitable opportunities in India. Manpower consultant in India helps such job aspirants in multiple ways.

India too faced the recession heat. However, Indian government took preventive steps comparatively earlier. According to a report recently appeared in a popular economic magazine, India is passing through remarkable transformation stage triggered by high GDP growth and escalating oil prices. This change is heating up Indian job market. With the changing job market, every leading manpower consultant in India is changing its service model also.

According to recruitment experts, “Construction, accounting, medical, research, IT and teaching etc. are the more promising sectors.” Every experienced manpower consultant in India is emphasizing upon these sectors. I have experienced many times that despite the reformed practice models of most consultants, job seekers are not satisfied with the performance of Indian manpower consultant. The common reasons of dissatisfaction, I have identified, are:
•    Less transparency
•    8-9  hours working
•    Less visibility of data bank of job seekers and employers both
•    Less use of advanced technology to upgrade the candidates
•    Less visibility of portal

Therefore expectations of job seekers and employers both are changing fast with the advancement of technology and increasing demand of workers. Job seekers and employers both want to deal only with reliable manpower consultant in India. But, it is a tough task to identify that one. I think the best way to judge the quality standards of any manpower consultant is to analyze the website and to cross check the testimonials.
Realizing the shortcomings in their working models, leading manpower consultants in India are changing their working models. Now these professionals offer 100% transparency, 24 hr working hrs, vast data banks and better updating system. Still, I feel that Indian manpower consultants are far behind from achieving the international standards. I hope to see all of them working with international standards soon solidifying Indian image at international portal in recruitment sector also.

Indian job market is on continuous rise. It is attracting even the foreign professionals also. Many Indian business organizations and MNCs having setups here are offering attractive jobs in almost every sector. Recently, some companies succeeded to set up new milestone for foreign based companies. Every country is surprised seeing tremendous industrial growth.

I came across a report that appeared in Times of India, Aug 15, 2010. It states that India’s job market is likely to double in 5 years. It is being expected to be of Rs 2000 crore in next five years. Banking, manufacturing and services sectors are the major contributors to this growth. Nitin Deveshwar, Esource India’s Managing Director state that recruitment market is increasing at the rate of 20% per annum.

The above scenario presents golden opportunities for the new and already established HR consultants in Delhi and other major cities. Although all the major cities have good potential for the recruiters but Delhi is frontrunner being the capital city. Seeing rich potential of growth in Delhi, numbers of HR consultant in Delhi are increasing fast. To capture the lion share of recruitment market, many of these especially the new entrants adopt unethical means also. Ultimately, jobseekers and employers both suffer at large. The practice of adopting unethical means for charming the jobseekers and employers hurts the interests of established and reputed HR consultants in Delhi.

If you are looking for a reliable HR consultant in Delhi or in other cities, the approach should be professional. Don’t keep the feet in the boot of others. First of all verify all the credentials of the HR consultant. Try to get the references and cross check those references. If you find everything OK, get registered.

Many job seekers ask me: Why should they take the help of HR consultant? There are numerous benefits of being registered with reputed HR consultants in Delhi and other major cities. First of all, you get the more exposure to the employers. Your candidature becomes more reliable. Your resume reaches to the employers, who don’t advertise the vacancy in media. Through the HR consultant, you may get the initial information about the employer. Every reputed and advancing HR consultant in Delhi has its website, so your resume remains visible round the clock.

I agree with common opinion that getting registered with a HR consultant in Delhi and all major cities is the best way to get the dream job earlier.

It hurts me to say that 2010 has been the year of economic scams for India delivering revenue loss of thousands of crores rupees. This economic setback is sufficient to halt the economic growth of any other country but India is surprising the world with its steady economic growth. Job market in India seems very promising. It offers charming job opportunities almost in every business sector. Because of the high business potential in recruitment service field, numbers of HR consultant in Delhi or individuals providing virtual services are growing at tremendous pace. Quite often, we come across new online recruitment, job portal or new recruitment agencies. Each of these claims for having recruitment rights from well known organizations; especially, in BPO, KPO and call centers etc. How many of these are effective and trust worthy?

We can’t discard the importance of HR consultants in Delhi because few have proved their worth. However, dignity of the recruitment professionals providing virtual services always remains under the clouds of doubt. Therefore, for companies and job seekers both, it becomes important to be cautious while getting registered with a HR consultant in Delhi. I know many professionals, who provide virtual recruitment services and claim for working for some reputed HR consultant in Delhi. While, most of reputed HR agencies deny this practice.

If you, as a HR manager of an organization, have certain openings in your organizations, get registered only with verified agencies. The same principle is applicable for the job seekers also. The best way to secure your interest is to approach a referred agency. Otherwise, ask the service detail, client list, specialization details, staff strength, existing data base etc. Never pay in advance before the completion of the contract. It is must to have every agreed term in black and white. Define the working model clearly. Dictate your requirements and ask for short listing only the right candidates. Many HR consultants in Delhi send dummy candidates to prove their efforts; this practice wastes your time. If you notice any unethical practice, immediately terminate the contract.
I see the recruitment as the need of organizations and job seekers both. Recruitment professionals providing virtual services and HR consultant in Delhi should follow the ethical and moral business practices to build up their social repute.
