In the memory of My Brother Surender Bahadur Singh

img-20161129-wa0000It has been more than a month now that my brother passed away, leaving us behind at an early age of 42 and today is his birthday 29th Dec.We cannot forget his loving and smiling face ever. He was the one who loved to bring a smile on others face,He was an obedient son of his parents and a very caring brother of three sisters. A husband of a beautiful wife and a very loving and caring father of two small children. He left us all on 23rd Nov 2016 after a fight with disease Gliblastoma. With tearful eyes we watched him passing away,we could not make him stay. Even money ,Prayer  and wishes of near and dear ones could not buy his life. His golden heart stopped beating.God broke our hearts which once again proves that he only takes the best one First.

if I talk about Family Life, he was a very good son.I rarely seen my brother siting in front of my father it was his respect towards him. He understood his responsibilities at an early age.For sisters,From education to our marriages He did everything.  He was a Guardian,friend, guide all in one. From childhood to adult we approached him for every little thing. He was always there for us. Infact after our marriage not a single week passed without having a good telephonic conversation with him.As I am the youngest, i always benefited the most. He loved all of us a lot, now we feel we did very little for him. He was perfect in all his relations.

In professional life he was very ambitious and creative.In short span of time, he started degree colleges and CBSE board school in village. I still remember someone asked him why you are opening English medium school in village and investing so much there, it will not work. He replied “I will give all the facilities similar to city in village so that people will not go to city for good education”. And in first year 450 students took admission.

Today he is no more with us. It’s very hard to accept. He will never know how much he’s missed. He will never know that our father who never showed his love to him, cries for him every day. he will never know that how his wife hide her tears and try to show herself strong in front of kids and others. He will never know that how much we all miss him.

You are the lovely brother i have adored you since i was small. I knew i could count on you, no matter what life sends to me. You always had time to listen to me and your actions always showed how much you cared.  Love you and miss you a lot dear brother. These words cannot express the feelings which we are having for you at the moment. Only we can feel what we have lost. I pray to the almighty god, May your soul rest in peace.

Steps before registering your HR consultancy services

In the most recent decade, the HR consultancy has experienced a move from being a regulatory overhead, a non-beneficial office, to a key business partner. Helping  corporates to meet best man power services.

Human Resource Consulting has risen up out of administration counseling, as an  association’s necessities have gotten to be more unpredictable and specific, broadening  the hole between HR needs and work power capacities. This has highlighted the  capacity of HR administration consulting firms to fill this gap.

Payment issues faced by HR Placement services: An overview

GS DollarEvery service provider, be it in any market segment tries hard to keep promise, sustain and grow to the next level. Similarly, an HR placement service in India has lot of competition and challenges to overcome and run it with long term vision. While start-ups or mid level HR consultancies work day in and out to line up the most trusted, experienced people to help various companies meet their requirement in quick time, they expect the same professional approach while receiving payment after a successful placement drive.

HR consultants constantly search for most appropriate candidates for any given profile be it technical or non technical, be it for freshers or for Senior management level professionals, it takes lot of understand, research, filtering right set of resumes, making sure all the desirable are matching with the resumes. Now, the next hurdle start while expert HR placement executives tries reaching out to the candidates, understanding if they are still in job hunt. What kind of profile the candidates are looking for. Confirming the present company requirement, profile, company details an HR consultant lines up the candidate. Sending a mail with details, follow-up mail and confirmation call are just few more to add to complete the process broadly. Now, after all these hard work when a candidate is placed the payment invoice is raised. The most common issues which most of the HR placement agencies face are:

  1.  Non Payment: Every Hr consultant must have faced non payment issue in his or her business  career life at least once or twice .  the  client refuse to make the payment saying candidate is not performing well.
  2. Lack of response: Once the candidates join, some of the companies never respond to confirm the details or even acknowledge the mail for confirmation
  3. Late payment: while they wanted resources right on time there payment never comes the same way. we also understand that sometimes it get delayed.
  4. Far from promise: They promise on a given date and the date keeps slipping down
  5. Misleading Information: Another aspect which is very common is misleading information about number of exact candidates joined after being lined up

 

While, GS Job Point has wonderful client tale with most professional companies who understand us, keep us engaged with continuous business, but then like many other HR manpower services, we have faced similar payment issues as well.

Being a known HR consultancy services in Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi, we are always on our toes to ensure that we not only meet client requirement but help them with best resources available.

The HR placement services can only get success if they have the required competency to run the show and deal with small to large companies from multiple domains and we at GS Job point have made it possible. Since, payment is one of most generic issue which most of the HR consultancy services face, I thought of bringing up this pain point and request clients to keep their promise as we always do. Help us to be more charged up and deliver efficient services with timely payment for all our hard work.

Delivering Quality Manpower solutions for Corporates and Business needs

image 2This is straight from my experience: Let me share an interesting incidence with you all, I received a call from a HR professional from one of the most reputed CMMi level company. At the very first instance I could figure out that she was bit disturbed and was desperately looking for a HR placement agency who can help them getting the desired candidates on board.

Well, the requirement was for a Technical profile with management skills to handle technical project and handle a huge team of 30 resources spread over various geographies. Now, that is challenging isn’t it? As first step we started taking all the information about requirement, what is desired? What can be optional? Then more about the company, job profile, salary range, joining date, place of joining and so on. Once, we had a clear picture we assured that we will keep our promise and help you with most suitable candidates.

With years of expertise dealing with B2B HR consultancy services in Mumbai, Bangalore & Delhi, we have grown up to match up with any top notch HR placement firm in terms of resources and quick turnaround time. Our HR Placement team at Mumbai office worked out a planning scanned through the profile and mapped out the best candidates who can be lined up for the interview. Yes, now coming to the most crucial juncture where we keep our fingers crossed thinking all the candidates lined up should turn up for the interview, with timely follow up calls we ensured 100% turn up.

We called back the company desk and spoke with the HR and confirmed with them about the availability of the candidates. Within next few hours, I received a call from the same HR professional who was absolutely thrilled and shared that though she was bit apprehensive initially as being delayed with false promises in the past by others. She told that all three positions are now filled and the candidates lined up were exactly matching the way they wanted. Believe me the way she was happy about it, made me feel proud, a big thanks an hug to my team, they truly deserve a pat on their back. That one opportunity has bagged us with two more references and that’s how we keep moving up the ladders.

GS Job point is known for its growing relationship with corporates, understanding their requirement and successfully helping them to meet their manpower requirement. We promise to keep our promise anytime and every time.

HR Consultancy and Placement Is all about professionalism

How many of you think that HR placement agencies or consultants are just there to make money? This is misconception in most cases. One who has focused approach on the HR consultancy services will ultimately help the business even keeping away from money making techniques.

If you are a human resource professional you give priority to the services and keep business as secondary option. Real consultancy services closely work with their client understand their need, what they foresee, what are the core expectation. Mapping these requirement with candidates who in true sense match the requirement is the next step. Being a HR consultant you need to be fair in determining if the candidate projected is exactly matching requirement or not. The intension is not to line up number of candidates to showcase that you have a huge pool of resources available. It is all about lining up quality candidates who will qualify and get selected in all probability.

Being a HR professional the first step is to know the mindset of a jobseeker, what kind of roles and responsibilities they look for and what they are capable of. As by now you have already understood the requirement from the client, you just need to act as a bridge between the jobseeker and the company. A successful placement send a strong message to the company and you win repeat business.

Getting repeat business and word of mouth are two vital elements that can make a big impact on your business. With no false promises, keeping up with the deadlines, lining up quality candidates, eliminating the risk of bad hire, helps building your brand image in the market.

As said HR consultancy and placement is all about professionalism, if you want to grow, you need to be honest with your services. Always remember that hiring staff is a time consuming and an expensive option for most companies and hence they look for a HR placement agency or partner; being a partner you need to act like one.

A new dimension to run HR Consultancy

Being a HR consultant you go through many situations that can make you feel down at times. Feeling high or low depends on you, how you perceive things in professional life.

We all face more or less similar issues, situations while coordinating a successful selection process. While some of us are ready to face the challenge as we can foresee the success and feel the real kick once a successful recruitment cycle is complete, others simply discuss it taking stress on themselves.

Since, the task is steep, stress is bound to be a part of it. As a HR consultant you need to be ready to handle the negative phase very calmly. Let me share my own experience; working as HR professional since last 8 years and running my own HR consultancy in Delhi, for 6 years I came across many situations which were challenging. When I look back I see myself, sitting worried thinking a lot about what went wrong, why candidates didn’t turn up? What if these situation continue? Yes, it happened with me too but then I had the zeal to stand up and look forward. I constantly motivated myself saying “I am ready to face it, I am ready to take a step ahead, I am positive to learn from every last minute hiccups” and gradually things changed.

I agree that positive attitude or inspiration is not something that you will get in one day. You need to list out few things as I did:

1.It was my passion to be into this profession – today I am HR professional feel good about it

2.It was me who thought to establish a placement agency in Delhi – today I have done it

3.I wanted to share my views – today I feel proud to be author of my book (Start Your Own HR Consultancy Company)

4.Always wanted to tie-up with big companies – today I have list of them

5.I wanted to make a difference – Now, this is where I have to still work so……carry on with the essence of positivity all around you.

Today, be it high moment or a low moment, I feel accomplished because I keep walking for the next target. Success has no end point if your efforts are in right direction.
