<\/span>INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I did not want to attend this event; I thought it would be only about boring coding, programming stuff and not something for a Luddite like me. Anyway, I made the booking of the event, a day before the event. This blog will be a lengthy one, as I learnt so much and I have so much to share with my reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talent should work with you, and not work for you. Rahul Bansal showed Abraham Maslow hierarchy and said that after some level basic salary does not motivate an employee, and they seek love and sense of belonging in an organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n

He suggested one novel criterion, to look for Social Media profile of candidate before hiring. If the candidate is communal and has shared a lot of hate message and fake news post, then he is a misfit for an organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A person with a poisonous mind can create a lot of politics and conflict in the organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always be civil to the candidate, because he has spent his time and money to reach out to the venue for interview. Always try to leave good memories with the other person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are not doing any favor by hiring a candidate or giving them a job. We must consider that the right candidate is doing us a favor by joining our organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the rejected candidates should have good memories of the HR Manager and can refer some of their peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
