Recruitment isn’t just a job. It’s choreography. And no, I’m not talking about HR flash mobs (though that would be fun). I’m talking about the daily dance recruiters do—juggling candidates and clients who seem to groove to completely different playlists. Let’s break down this bizarre-but-beautiful dance floor:  Scene 1: The Candidate Salsa Candidates come in hot—applications flying, enthusiasm peaking. They’re quick with replies, schedule interviews faster than Swiggy delivers biryani, and say things like: “I’m super excited about this opportunity. This is my dream job!” Cut to two days later: they’ve joined the Witness Protection Program. No calls. No texts. Just vibes. Salsa complete. Exit stage left.  Scene 2: The Client Moonwalk Meanwhile, clients are moving… in reverse. You send 5 stellar profiles. They reply after 10 business days with: “Can you share more profiles? These are great, but we want someone with 9.5 years of React experience, who can also do...

  A recruiter-candidate story, Bollywood style. Every recruiter remembers that one unforgettable candidate call. It starts off like any other—“Hi, am I speaking to…”—but sometimes, what follows is nothing short of a Bollywood plot twist . In a world full of “Mission Mangals” , we often just want to get the job done. But the hiring journey sometimes surprises you. That one candidate who seemed like a “Tamasha” on paper ends up being Ranbir in Rockstar —raw, talented, misunderstood, and waiting for someone to believe in them. 💬 Some candidates become good friends. From helping you with last-minute interview tips to saying “Happy Diwali” even years after placement—that’s “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” feels. You didn’t see it coming, but it hits right. Some provide amazing referrals. Like the “Andaz Apna Apna” of hiring—unexpected, funny, but full of value. "Bhaiya, I know someone better than me for this role!"—and boom, your week is made. Some decode the JD better than your tec...

Let’s face it. You spend hours tailoring your resume, agonizing over every bullet point, aligning margins, and maybe even throwing in a snazzy little timeline. You hit submit and wait. And wait. And wait some more. No callback. No rejection email. Just… silence. Welcome to the ghost town where your resume is stuck — the Applicant Tracking System, aka the ATS. Yes, dear job seeker, you weren’t rejected by a human . You were ghosted by software. That’s right — even the robots don’t like you . 🤖 Meet the ATS: Your First Interviewer Isn’t a Person The ATS is a recruiter’s digital sidekick — one that often acts like a bouncer at a club with a clipboard of names. If your resume doesn't have the right keyword, format, or phrasing, you’re not getting in . Your experience? Impressive. Your education? Stellar. But you said “Managed cloud platforms” when the job description asked for “AWS,” and boom — you’re out. The irony? Most candidates don’t even know this gatekeeper exists. True...

 Intro: Ah, the humble team meeting. A sacred ritual where time goes to nap, agendas go rogue, and everyone's camera stays mysteriously off. In a world where “synergy” is king and “alignment” is the new namaste, let’s dive into the delightful absurdity of the average team meeting. Body: 1. The Pre-Meeting Panic: It starts with a ping — “Quick catch-up at 3 PM?” Translation: Brace yourself. You scramble to open tabs, dig through emails, and pretend you remember what happened last sprint. 2. The Attendance Ceremony: The first 5 minutes? Pure magic. “Can you hear me?” “I think you're on mute.” “Let’s just wait for a couple more people to join…” Fast forward: 15 mins in, you’re still staring at the same 4 initials on the screen. 3. The Agenda Illusion: There was an agenda. Once. Somewhere. But now it's turned into a philosophical debate about timelines, deliverables, and that one person asking, “Wait, what are we discussing again?” 4. The Monologue Maestro: Ev...

Ever felt like your job as a recruiter involves juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle… blindfolded? 🎪 Surprise – you’re already halfway to being a Product Manager . Let’s break the myth: Product Managers aren't just hoodie-wearing folks drawing diagrams on whiteboards. If you've been in recruitment long enough (especially agency or startup side), you’ve already lived the PM life—minus the title. Here’s how: 1. Stakeholder Drama? You're Already a Pro You’ve dealt with hiring managers who wanted a “rockstar-fresher-with-10-years-of-experience” and convinced them to settle for reality. You’ve sat in on client calls where no one knew what they wanted—until you helped define it. PMs define product requirements. Recruiters define role requirements. Translation? You’re already doing half the JIRA tickets. 2. You’re a Master of User Experience Think about it: You optimize job descriptions. You personalize follow-ups. You obsess over candidate experience. Th...
