A Recruiter's Life

Wrong title actually because truly speaking recruiters don't have a life
whatever they had is now loaned out to the company they are working in.

Heard about the proverb dhobhi ka kutta na ghar ka na ghat ka , well we recruiters are literally living that life and even worse

Recruiters are treated like dogs , if the candidates drop off its their fault , if candidates don't perform its the recruiter's fault

Sometimes i get an impression from my manager that if my candidate will get ill then it also will be my fault

Why should a recruiter be responsible for everything?????????

I will select a candidate who has got a good cv, how am i responsible if he is not able to attend his interview because his boss did not give him leave...

But no i'll be getting scoldings , i will be shouted upon

Similarly if the company which is hiring doesn't select a candidate , the candidate in turn will eat my head

See i am getting it from both side

Neither my manager lets me live in peace nor my candidate is leaving me in peace

So where do i go


I believe recruitment is dependent a lot on the luck

No offence to any hardcore recruiter but its just POV

Luck because you get the right cv but don't know whether it will get hit by the company
And then luck again if that candidate doesn't get an better offer from other company
Then again if he joins in the right time

The skill involved is where and how you get cv and rest all is luck

And why should I be blamed for my poor luck?

Lets see if I ever get ahead of my luck or not

Its Instinctive!!!!!!!!!!

It was made fun of heavily by Mr. Poirot in Agatha Christie's novels but somehow or the other I have always felt women do have 6th sense .
I too have it not a very active one but yes it happens out of a blue.

Years ago when I was in class fourth I woke up early on a holiday and I woke up uncharacteristically early and intercepted a phone call, it was a call which told my mom that her mother my maternal grandmother is very ill and immediately imagined her on ice slab
My mom and dad left that day and days later we came to know that my maternal grandmother is no more and yes when my mom reached her home my nani was laid on ice slab
Second time it happened when I saw my mom talking to someone on phone and don't know why I knew that my maternal grandfather had died and I knew he had an heart attack near the bathroom

and days laters I was proved true
Yes he had died that same day with his first attack in front of the bathroom.

Years later I fell asleep when I was reading a book and had a dream that someone was calling me didi and I rushed downstairs and made my mom call my maternal aunt who was pregnant and lo behold and she was in labour room and gave birth to my young cousin that very day itself.

is this instinct?...
Did I tell you . I was not very close to my maternal grandparents neither my my cousin but still it happened.

I don't know
So many things have happened
Sometimes I see somethings which register in my brain and my unconscious mind which led to this?
There have been two more incidents which may me more of a sixth sense than instinct and yet I held it out for years and they came to be true
And if the third thing which I believe should happen will happen then maybe I'll make myself a seer :) :)

Its something very against which will take around two or more years to happen but some thing tells me it will


I don't know lets see
