Every once in a while, comes along an opportunity that seems easy but there’s more than it meets the eye. That’s exactly what happened when a Kolkata based Software company reached out to us with their requirement for a Software Engineer. They were looking to onboard 3 candidates for the same position.
Well, Satarupa Sen, one of our seasoned recruiters at Talen Corner was ready to close this one in a jiffy. Little did she know what it wasn’t going to be a cakewalk. She identified many suitable candidates for the position and started profiles with the client with great ease.
However, what followed was an incessant flow of rejections from the client’s side. Surprisingly, all profiles got rejected rather swiftly. And this got Satarupa thinking, was she missing something here? Well it seemed quite odd, but then it just kept happening. It just didn’t make sense. So Satarupa decided to take up the matter with the Client.
During her interaction with the HR and Technical team from the client side, she realised they were looking for a very specific skill requirement. At this point, Satarupa did the unexpected. She studied the resumes of their existing employees and also looked at their LinkedIn profiles closely.
She mapped out the technical skills that the client was specifically looking for. She also decided to act as the first filter interviewer for the company. This was a game changing move. Finally, she was able to share the right candidate profiles with the client. Satarupa managed to close the first position in just two weeks after changing her approach. At Talent Corner, our recruitment experts go all out – no matter what. Because they simply don’t believe in giving up.
