Sounds vague?? Now go on and give this a reading……

Few years back, very few consultancies used Applicant Tracking Software that addressed very limited and specific problems. Most solutions were customized versions designed to meet restricted requirement, which soon was followed by many others and this encouraged the development of a standard Applicant Tracking System. However, with the advent of Internet; more web-based models came into existence where the consultancy or the company had this advantage of downloading application for a lesser price, time and easy to use features.

With offline and online models of Recruitment Software, companies were able to make their choices owing to resources available and make the best use of them. And such online software evolved as “free versions” introduced basic application totally for free to all the consultancies. Given the situation where ATS is acquired for free, which gives all the advantages of time, cost, productivity, security and innovative features….why ever pay?

Free Applicant Tracking Software is known to save a lot of Recruiter’s time, and now they save money as well!! They help consultancies plan their recruitment budget at the budding stage and save costs on operational aspects. While using such free applications, companies can overweigh on their profits with no costs incurred. With all these benefits, technology is now at easy reach for even the Small and Medium Businesses, who can reach better heights of success.

Well, here sprouts a query! Does ‘Free’ Recruitment Software prove to be ineffective and incompetent in comparison to the paid ones?? Definitely not!! Recruiters always have the freedom of choice to understand the work-flow of their organization and be very choosy to pick the apt and authentic system that would do justice to their process. There is no point in simply getting Recruitment software installed, be it paid or free, which makes no sense at all.

Recruiters also need to check whether a Free Recruitment Software is really completely free. Many a times, such free applications come up with a bunch of assorted not-very-necessary features, which would be no way in relation with process or a bunch of very minimal features. Will such kind of incomplete Recruitment Software help Job seekers and companies achieve their goals and targets??? They may not!!

Have a good understanding of such free software as well, their features and work-flow. Make the best use of them. Let your decision be very crucial and take your business to better heights!!

Disclaimer:   Please note that the above Free service/product/application will attract “web-space” fee and fee also be included if any third party integration cum features are offered.

Is it advisable to complain about one’s immediate boss to the top management under dire circumstances?

PANKAJ BANSAL, director, M3M Group:
“I have never advised any of my colleagues to complain about one’s immediate boss to the top brass. It would be far better to analyse the situation and put forward your point of view to one’s own boss with respect and humility. In most cases, this will yield results. However, if this does not result in solution to your difficulties – then, one may consider sending an official memo. But remember, this will be the last resort in a very difficult case. It may also be the last straw!”

CHANDRAKANTH BN, president, Theorem Inc Global Services:
“This can be extremely tricky. Every time there is a conflict or a difference of opinion, there will be perceptions and points of view on both sides. People mostly do what they believe in their opinion is the right thing. If you strongly believe that your immediate boss is doing something unethical or working against the interest of the organisation, you should complain to the senior management. However, it should be backed up with strong data points and valid facts. It also helps to have the support of other colleagues and an impeccable personal reputation internally. Otherwise, there is a strong possibility of losing credibility in your organisation and maybe, even losing your job.”

Ravi Venugopal, CEO, Rooster HR:
“Under normal circumstances, the ‘top management’ is not accessible so easily and hence, it is all the more challenging to have trespassed your immediate boss. However, an ideal situation would be to have exchanged this ‘observation’ with the immediate boss in-person under the 360 degree performance appraisal format.This will open up doors and put things in perspective.”

R VASUDEVAN, managing director,Vascon Engineers Ltd:
“If the problem is of a repetitive nature, then the individual must discuss it with his/her superiors.”
