Outsourcing Interviews - The Next Big Thing!!






While our previous post was revolving around some of the problem statements involved during the phase of interviewing and also the risk of losing amazing talents due to delayed interviews, let us take a look at some of the advantages of outsourcing interviews


Your Hiring Manager's Time is precious

A company performance in market is evaluated primarily based on the quality of work or products they deliver which requires a passionate team who can deliver in a fast paced environment. When the deliverable is hitting hard on the head it is really tough for a recruiter to depend on hiring managers specially for all levels of interviews i.e. right from screening and shortlisting a huge bunch of resumes till interviewing. Given this scenario, the concept of outsourcing interviews would be a great boon for any hiring manager since its going to remove the burden of screening, shortlisting and interviewing almost 50 to 60 resumes for filling a single position.

Save your money

Budgetting plays a key role when it comes to hiring for any organization. Even after spending half of the money for Online portals or external recruiting agencies just for Sourcing talents for a job profile, the challenges involved in screening and interviewing remains unsolved and its also more of a time consuming process. "Outsourced Interviewing model", an unique concept is bound to save cost and time for any organizations as they can leverage a single platform for all their needs such as sourcing, conducting a first level screening and have a final list of prescreened candidates sent to their hiring managers among which the best can be hired. 

Emerging Technologies Vs Skilled Hiring Managers

With lot of emerging technologies like IoT, AI etc which are revolutionizing the way we approach towards a problem, the need for skilled people to work on these platforms is still the need of the hour. The existing market leaders make it a practice to adopt or incorporate these emerging technologies for their business in order to compete in market but again they equally face a problem with the lack of subject market experts who can actually understand and mentor a team . On the other hand there has also been a considerable increase of innovative startups in the emerging areas but for them problem lies with lack of manpower, lack of funding etc. In both the scenarios, if the organization looks at hiring a team, the primary problem with them would be -- "Lack of Interviewer Bandwidth" since it is easy to identify or source a right set of talents in market who are ready to work on emerging technologies. Outsourcing interviews would actually solve their problem because an interviewer community in general would be a mix of experts with various skill sets.  With a huge pool of interviewer database, finding the right subject matter expert to interview the talents would ease the process for an organization both interms of cost and time.

As we all believe "Outsourced Interviewing Model" is going to be a game changer in the recruitment industry
