Staffing Statistics - IV Performance Appraisal Cycle
TPT – Strength’s • • • • • • •
Freedom of work Good work culture Recognition for good work Learning Flexibility of timings Challenges and responsibilities Job Security Etc…
TPT – Weakness’s • • • • • • •
Less Brand Awareness in Indian Software Market Less personal or career development opportunities Tough Interview Process Higher dependency on 2nd level interview panel (Engg) Absence of buffer resources (bench) No inclination to get fresh talent from colleges and/or premier institutes and train them over our domain. Less market intelligence over trends in Indian software industry (staffing) Etc…
Concern Area’s – Solution’s •
Indian Technology Market (ITM) vis-à-vis Compensation Mercer Consulting has communicated that South – APAC s/w industries have hiked compensation’s by 15% in April – 06’ and is expected to grow even further in April – 07’. Profiles are aware of their value and thus we see a surge in compensation, with players wanting to retain & attract talent by paying a premium. Talent management is the buzz word. Solution: We should benchmark our compensation and Study trends that affect a profile to take a decision. The idea is to be there in the ITM space and let our presence known.
•
TPT Branding in ITM There is a need of reaching out to a prospective profile. At present we handle it internally by interacting with the would-be-offered profiles (but they are few). Solution: We should scheduled media releases that target Core Java / IT segment in India We need to communicated our expectations to prospective profiles & The ITM using media (online & offline).
•
No Planned Recruitment Activity Vacancy Alerts are instantaneous and unplanned from a recruitment perspective. I am ideally asked to fill in a position as soon as it opens. Solution: Forecasting about future requirements are necessary to chalk out a detailed recruitment plan.
Contd…
Concern Area’s – Solution’s •
Selection Criterion We have had constant influx of information which states that our interview process are tougher to clear. At times profiles from IIT & REC’s (India's leading premier technical institutes) are rejected at our end. Solution: I don’t know how to address this.
•
Consultants Consultants are increasingly feeling that we have a tough job requirements and so the business would be negligible. Consultants think from a business perspective, if they are not making business at our end, they have better opportunity with other organizations. Solution: We need to assure consultants that the requirement is not that tough and they can expect good business from us. We need to hand hold them to places where we can actually find good resources.
•
Sourcing Right Fit - Core Java (collections) is a niche expertise. Normally we would find a profile who is good in Core Java skills, but finding a profile with Core Java - collections is difficult (but not impossible). Solution: We should recruit and train profiles who are good in Core Java, but lack collections skills). We can recruit talent at an early stages and train them to be more functional (advantages – we save recruitment costs and get long term commitments from the hired profiles)

Concern Area’s – Solution’s •
Offer Declines Offers are declined for various reasons like – compensation, location, personal issues, company retaining the employee, lack of awareness about TPT in Indian s/w market, profile running after bigger players offering better packages, benefits, designations, career & personal development opportunity, more soft benefits in competitor organization etc. Solution: Communication with the offered profile at regular intervals. Creating a buffer vacancy to take care of declines at the last minute.
