Employee Quits
In any Company, an employee quits the company for so many reasons, and if the Management of the company is not having a proper employee retention plan and an effective policy which may be rewarding to the employee who is performing and if growth in the company is certain for the right employee then a company may not lose its employees.
The Management has to ascertain the truth behind if so ever any employee leaves the company for whatsoever reason and a good employee who quits on his own will severe the company in the following ways.
1.Loss in Production.
2.Cost and time involved in recruiting a new employee.
3.Time consumption in training of the new employee.
4.Client relationship the employee had gained while in the company is a matter of concern.
5.Frustration and stress involved within the time frame for the new employee to join the team.
So in brief retaining the existing talents in the company is the best possible solution any company may adapt, and it does not always means hiking the market trend and paying more than existing pay packages in a similar company relevant to your line of operation and always the best method is to fine tune the pay package linking with production and turnover and performance, and if it may involve Activities in the sales department a pay package or incentive based pay check directly linked with the gross turnover can be the possible option in retaining a talented employee.
An employee may leave the company for the following reasons.
1.Politics in the company.
2.Frustration and constant friction with the team members.
3.No growth in the company is predicted or foreseen.
4.Negative environment in the workplace.
5.Low salary when compared in the market.
6.Bureaucratic or diplomacy in the hierarchy system.
7.Lack of challenging work or monotonous working style.
8.Lack of proper supervision.
9.lack of required resources or materials essential for quicker and better performance.
10.Personal reasons.
If in an organization, a couple of talented employees or few of them have concluded and decided to quit the job and the Management quick reaction can be to investigate the reasons behind the same in all possible manners.
If a competitor is trying to intrigue your work force then a firm decision has to be taken wisely, and a board meeting or arbitration of serious concern within the management had to be taken.
When an employee is serious in quitting his job and trying to Allure more from your company to your competitor firm and a stern action of discipline needs to be taken by the management and if an employee is serious in quitting the job and if you had employed all possible maneuver to retain him and the employee is firm in his decision and then the best possible way is quickly and firmly palliate the candidate and start looking out for an alternate candidate with all possible sources and alternatives.

The
distinction Between a Headhunter and a Recruiter?
In the process of seeking a Placement
concern and you are in the
process to employ a recruiter or a headhunter to assist you with your search
and the terms headhunter and
recruiter are often used
synonymous and reciprocal, but in general, the terms represent differences in
who these individuals work for and how an individual put their efforts and
skills in bringing an explication to the current needs.
Usually, all recruiters earn
their service Charges by working for one or more clients and assist them in
filling any vacancy that is currently open. In this process, any recruiters may
have to screen and interview candidates.
Sometimes recruiters work for placement
consultancy firms on a
contractual basis or as freelancers and assist their clients in finding
suitable employees and while you are working with a recruiter, you will be
charged a fees to have them help you find a suitable candidate and a Recruiter
is generally paid by the placement
consultancy firms that you
are having a working agreement with a client and a vendor.
On the other hand, headhunters often work only on a predicament or
predicament basis, meaning a head hunter only gets paid if they are able to
find a copacetic or unexceptional fine
employee for a company or organization. Since headhunters work on an agreed commission, they
often have a greater incentive to find jobs for their clients than recruiters
do. Headhunters can be paid either by the
placement consultancy firms looking for employees or the job seeker
looking for work.
Recruitment Employment professionals
can work for placement
consultancy firms and
Retained firms look for people who fill senior roles in companies like Country
Heads,General Manager or critical high-end openings and for the same a
head hunter do a great deal of research to make sure the individuals they are
recommending have the necessary qualifications to fill these high-level
positions. Retained placement
consultancy firms usually get paid in installments by the hiring
company as they move through the recruitment process.
Placement
consultancy agency competes
with each other to place suitable candidates with companies that are looking to
fill specified positions and Placement consultancy only get paid when they
successfully place someone, so these recruiters can only expect to get paid
only successful completion of any given task by the Placement
consultancy agency.
Placement
consultancy agency is most
often used to fill more junior roles in companies who are looking either for
contract workers or permanent employees. In general,Placement
consultancy agency fill lots
more jobs than retained firms because employers need these workers immediately
and don't have as much time to spend on the regular hiring process.

Growth In Your Career
A change in career at times can
be a risky calculation and at times even a mistake. If you have chosen the
right path, it may be a boost in your career
Growth in your career is about
taking risks and attaining dreams. Usually, it does not work out exactly as you
might envision. Growth in a company is that company's progress and success.
Professionals and experts who have had success in any field in the corporate
world have experienced steady growth in their career paths. They have always
led other people through the steady periods of growth. However, while growth is
an indisputable factor, effort, and good leadership are in the organization are
not guaranteed recipes for success. Not all successful entrepreneurs view the
process or the philosophy behind the growth in the same way.
For example, let us say you
were in charge of a team. The company's management ignored the small changes
that you made over time in the day-to-day operations, for the company's benefit.
Your level of command was limited, and you started to get a feeling that you
have been underestimated or discriminated against by the company.
The usual practice in the
corporate world when management feels a particular person needs to be fired or dismissed
is to keep him or her away from revenue-flowing departments. They will not
discuss major decisions with that particular candidate, and they will divert
all reporting authority to other persons. Slowly the person begins to
understand he or she is being marked by the management. At that time it is wise
to resign on his or her own.
It can be a company policy to
downsize it strength It can be a miscalculation if you are yet to make a
decision and major companies are now more calculate and are pound and penny
wise in their business, and moreover growth in the business of a company has
been never by mere chance; it is the result of like-minded people working
together to achieve their own ambition and of the company. More often matters
of concern like major policy decisions or changes that may help the company
grow or cost-effective practices that you had forwarded to the company are
ignored, and even your best ideas have no value If the company fails to
implement and diagnose the pros and cons and if that is not happening and
success of any company does not come with great ideas. It is resulting from the
ability of any entrepreneur in fine turning that idea into a business reality and
if that is not happening it could be the right time for you to make a move
wisely.
Lastly internal politics in the
company or if you have an intuition that your growth in the organization been
limited by any Individual or any circumstance, it is a moral duty to endeavor
the situation but if is a reality and truth of your own conscious and then
defend yourself and try for a better place where you can get value for yourself
and always remember every Individual in the corporate world wants to be a
success and wants to live on top of the mountain, but all that happiness and
growth occurs while you're climbing it

Frustrations and Anger in Job Searching
Frustration in a jobless person is stage of a grief, stress and numbness and can be the best remedy for a very positive and essential part of prolonged success in his career path.
When a person loses his job or had been fired, they need to be consoled on the loss of the job, and the family members and closed ones need to endure the frustration level is on control it is a similar case of treating an alcoholic or an unstable person and the mental trauma of a person undergoing on that point of time he needs care and comfort and someone who has been out of work for a year or more will be in the initial phase of grief ,stress and numbness and will almost lead them to alcoholism or a severe depression level, almost as if they have post-traumatic stress syndrome and the family members with them needs have enough patience and understanding.
We at Bangalore Secretary Services consider all possible options in sourcing the candidate with a similar job in his industry and do suggest different jobs in the relevant industry or look for different jobs in a different industry, or we might even suggest an alternative if that may be a possibility.
We at Bangalore Secretary Services many a times had to convince the candidates to take a jobless paid than his previous employer and it needs all our best effort to make the candidate understand the situation and When the candidate was drawing a take home package of a few thousands per month. It takes time and lots of persuasion for them to accept that they may need to start over and we at Bangalore secretary services persuade them that to understand the fact that the market had been speculative in the last few years and the candidate need's to understand the same also.
The job market wholly depends upon the Indian economy and the world is shrinking and the dollar and euro prizes can also play a vital role in the demand and supply Job Seekers may need to change their technique in identifying the right Placements companies in Bangalore and we may advise the candidate to add a few more certificate courses that may build value their resumes. We at Bangalore Secretary Services try to make the candidate understand at time narrow lanes can also lead them to their goal.
One such example is a candidate approached us and he had inherited a hotel and running the same, parallel he wanted a corporate job and came to us at Bangalore Secretary Services when he couldn't find one. He was straight away looking for a job like a general Manager in a 5 star hotel. When we told him it might require more than one step, we offered him a position of a manager at a 2 star hotel to gain Industrial experience. And now he is a General manager in a 4 star hotel, supervising 200 people.and he was happy with that.
At Bangalore Secretary Services we have a list of long-term unemployed clients who are frustrated to the core. Their current situation is not their fault, and we at Bangalore Secretary Services been trained to expect frustration in a such a situation. If they project their anxiety with us, we understand the long-term unemployment is a state where we are willing to listen.
Bangalore Secretary Services approach with fresher is to help them view their limited experience in a different light, and to build on that,Ms. Nirmala is a 23-year-old who had an engineering degree. After graduating,instead of job hunting,She took care of her bedridden Father for a year and a half. The young lady had no idea how she was going to enter the job market with this experience.
We at Bangalore Secretary Services rewrote her resume to emphasize the financial skills she drew upon in caring for her father's financial affairs, including managing his investments and his checkbook. The young lady is now working in an Accounting department in a leading company in Bangalore.
Finally Frustrations and anger in job searching is often caused not by no work, but by worry and resentment.and only a caring family member needs the handle situation with care and sooner the candidate will understand and believe the fact that all his past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new hope in his new job.

In Jan 1984 Apple shipped crappy product. It had only 128 K of RAM, no hard disk, no modem, no slots, no color display, no letter quality printer, no documentation, no installed customer base and no development tools.
Apple could have waited until Macintosh was 'perfect'. However, waiting would have added a year of delay and probably would have killed Macintosh because the team was already burned out, the software developers who were creating applications would have lost confidence that Macintosh would ever ship and who knew how the computer market would have changes in a year's time.
But you've got to ship that imperfect product - not because you want to (or think you can) get away with it, but because it is the right thing to do.
Revolutionary products don't fail because they are shipped too early. They fail because they aren't revised fast enough.
This holds true for hiring as well. Build your processes and culture so strong that either even the worst hire becomes useful quickly or the worst hire leave on his own. Of course the message here is not that you should hire just anybody, the message is don't wait for the perfect fit. At Bangalore Secretary Service we have seen so many start-ups loosing a lot of time trying to get the rock-star they hope for that they end delaying their milestones indefinitely, which poses a greater risk to their survival.
I sincerely wish this was true! Currently it is just a dream !!! Sorry to disappoint you guys...
But honestly, it is beyond anybody's sane thinking about how on earth most people these days just don't land up for interviews; after confirming at least twice? It is getting beyond reasoning and plain human tolerance!
Why don't these candidates, who almost beg for jobs when they need one, apply randomly to any apply button they get their hands on (almost as if, if they don't get a call for job interview, they and their entire family will go food-less for the next 24 months)!
How shameless can these people get when they happily say yes when asked about their interest and how smoothly they confirm their presence for the interview, only to be disappointed yet again when they suddenly decide to meet their beaus instead or attend to ailing (till now hail & hearty) grandmother? Little do these candidates care about the state of humiliation, ridicule and pain the recruiters go through in front of their Hiring Managers, who by the way in spite of knowing the situation, come down like a pile of rocks on these (us) recruiters.
I think, all the companies in India (it happens only in India), need to lobby with our Legal System to make No-show to interviews (without a reason) to be punishable under a certain IPC code (421; a notch higher than 420 (for fraud))!
From our study (without any prejudice to the matter), highest No-Shows have been seen in the regions of Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida followed by Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. Candidates from Mumbai and Bangalore seem to have basic courtesy to call much in advance and notify of their non-availability (last minute nonetheless)!
I hope as our population demographic becomes more and more younger in the next few years, it will suddenly become an Employers market and maybe then, black-listing candidates who do not show-up for interviews will become practical.
Till then lets keep getting punished for somebody else' crime! :)
These are purely our views.
From our experience, these are really the reasons of not turning up for interviews, causing such a productivity waste of the Employers!
1. "Not in the Mood" - Don't want to dress-up and travel. We would give over 70% score to this reason.
Potential Solution: Offer pick-up and drop-off cab service. It may cost you Rs.800 average, but it is worth it. Beware however, your accounting dept. needs to be convinced of the ROI. Unfortunately they are only mandated to save expenses.
2. "Not Really looking for a Job Change" - Wants to explore if by chance there is a 100 or 200% compensation increase possibility
Potential Solution: Spend a lot of time asking why the candidate wants to change the current job. Probe a lot around it. Many candidates break-down here and unintentionally reveal their true motive.
3. "Cannot say "No" - General upbringing and systemic problem
Potential Solution: None found yet!
Came across this great article by a UX Designer on how to hire Designers for your Start up. It was awesome and fully resonated with Bangalore Secretary Services Thoughts and thinking.
There are two key scenarios when a start-up Founder makes this huge hiring mistake and trust me we know it because we only do start up hiring:
The Founder gives us a salary budget, which is typically half of what the market is demanding (thinking the 'right' candidate will join him for love of the experience and dream of becoming an overnight Instagram or Whats App phenomenon)
The Founder expects to hire a multi-talented, multi-skilled, mulch-tasker just in case the start up had to 'pivot' its business model some day or save on additional headcount, should there be a need to survive
20% of the Founders end up not hiring from us; because they never find the perfect one for the budget they have in mind, about 50% do end up hiring because of paucity of time and return back to us after about 2 months stating that it didn't work out. The 30% that remain is what makes us writes such articles and run our business Bangalore Secretary Services successfully.
Here's what they do:
Whats your Budget Founder? we ask..
Founder:
First we would like to explain to you what we intend to achieve from a business stand-point. We will then tell you what skills are generally needed to achieve the vision we have in mind. Then I will let you guys recommend the right candidates. Let us thus do a true salary discovery in the process. Because we certainly want to ensure that person joining us is happy about the work we would give and happy for the money he/she will get that compensates fairly for the impact he/she would bring.
What skills, what experience? we ask.
Founder:
Honestly, we are looking for intrinsic skills, skills that are inherent in the form of aptitude and keen interest. For example, if we were to hire a PhP programmer, we would prefer someone who would have participated or would have wanted to participate in a hack-a-thon rather than having years of core PHP experience. Someone who may not have done what we want, but knows of open source libraries of PhP that can be readily used in the code, not because they are free, but because they are optimized piece of code written by geniuses. You get my drift?
So to conclude, don't settle for less and certainly don't let salary budget or experience stall you from hiring the right candidate!
And don't ever forget 'Hire Nice or Hire Twice'
