The present disclosure relates to recruitment systems.
The expression ‘Candidate’ used hereinafter in this specification refers to a person who is seeking the job in an organization.
The expression ‘Assessment Test’ used hereinafter in this specification refers to the test taken by the candidates for assessing the candidates. The assessment test may include multiple choices test, text based test, programming test, typing test and the like.
The expression ‘User Device’ used hereinafter in the specification refers to a device, used by the user, wherein the user device includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a laptop, a tablet, an iPad, a PDA, a notebook, a net book, a smart device, a smart phone, a personal computer.
These definitions are in addition to those expressed in the art.
A recruitment process in any organization, typically begins when a position is released for recruitment, i.e., in case of a vacancy. On release of a vacant position, the recruiter gets an intimation to start a selection process. The selection process usually includes searching suitable candidates, checking interests, conducting test(s)/interview(s) for the candidates, and completing their assessments. On completion of these stages, a relevant candidate is selected and an offer is made. If the candidate agrees to the terms of employment, pre-joining formalities and other verification checks are carried out. The candidate is on-boarded finally on successful completion of the above mentioned process, and the vacant position is closed.
This conventional recruitment process happens sequentially and requires a turnaround time of approximately 60 days for selection. As the selection process starts only after release of a vacant position, the position remains vacant throughout the selection process thereby impacting the business. Such impact is significantly greater in case of positions, with high attrition, that require customer interactions.
Therefore, there is felt a need to limit the aforementioned drawbacks and provide a system for recruitment which reduces turnaround time of the selection process.
Some of the objects of the present disclosure which at least one embodiment herein satisfies, are as follows:
An object of the present disclosure is to provide an integrated pre-assessment recruitment system and a method thereof.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide the system for creating a pipeline of candidates for anticipated requirement(s).
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide the system for assessing the candidates for recruitment purposes and create a talent pool.
Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide the system for verifying documents of selected candidates.
An object of the present disclosure is to provide the system which reduces the risk of proxy recruitment.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide the system which operates seamlessly, irrespective of different locations and verticals of an organization.
Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide the system which enables recruiters to share candidate pools with each other.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide the system which reduces turnaround time of the selection process.
Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description when read in conjunction with the accompanying figures, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
