The Hunters and the Hunted

Today’s Corporate Dossier in the Economic Times carries a story on the Recruitment Industry and how the war for talent is helping hunters make a killing. It does, however, lament the lack of talent availability resulting in the Hunters becoming the Hunted. I have been mooting the idea of an organized training program being conducted by our profession for quite sometime now and we have discussed the same in the association (NAESCON) too over the past few months, however, things are moving a bit slowly. I think this article reinforces the crying need for such a structured programme in India and I feel that all members of the fraternity who can contribute to help bring this idea to fruition should come forward and lets create a steady stream of fresh talent for the industry. This is starting to happen in the BPO Industry, so why not in this niche area ? Poaching from each other is definitely not the solution
