Recruitment pactices and HR in India! In the good old days , companies used to have P&A (Personal and Administration) departments which used to handle everything like recruitment, Promotions, Industrial/ labour, legal issues etc. With passage of time, these P&A were replaced by HR departments loaded with MBAs who came with all sorts of fancy ideas to justify their salaries. I have seen companies calling HR departments as "People Energy" and have posts like "Employee Delight". As long as drastic changes and fancy ideas help the company, it's fine, but more often than not these new HR policies manage to scare away talented people as they don't fit into the systems and get screened out. In fact, today it has become very difficult or impossible for a 55 plus candidate to get a job in India as they are considered very old or outdated by HR regardless of immense experience they bring to the table. There is no human touch. Companies treat out of job people like dirt or offer 1/3rd of their last salary drawn which could be depressing. Unfortunately, this a loss not only for the private sector but also for our country as there are lot of people who are still fit and can contribute to industry and nation's growth endeavour but have no Avenues due to recruitment practices, robotised mindset and lack of opportunities.

The Latest Headlines from the Report on UK Jobs for August. 1️⃣ Staff appointments continue to fall The Report on Jobs survey showed another reduction in permanent staff placements, extending the current downturn to 23 months. Moreover, the rate of contraction was the steepest since March amid reports of lower demand from clients and a lack of workplace vacancies. 2️⃣ Slower growth in permanent staff pay Permanent staff salaries increased again in August, in line with a trend that stretches back three-and-a-half years. Starting pay was generally raised to attract candidates, especially for positions where supply was limited. However, the increase in permanent pay levels was the weakest since March and well below the survey’s historical average. 3️⃣ Demand for staff down slightly again in August Latest vacancy data signalled a marginal decline in vacancy numbers during August. It was the tenth month in a row that demand for staff has fallen, with slight declines seen for both permanent and temporary workers. Notably, August marked the first fall in temporary staff demand since April. 4️⃣ Strong growth of staff availability signalled Staff availability continued to increase in August, both for permanent and temporary workers. Although similar, growth was the strongest in four months for temp workers but the slowest since February for perm staff. A mixture of redundancies and lower placement volumes reportedly led to the rise in availability.
