The most uncertain business on planet Earth is 'Contingency Recruitment,' a model based on getting paid by the client only upon successful completion of the assignment - not even a rupee before!
Conventionally the same assignment would be shared with at least half a dozen agencies and, obviously, all but one - who finally pushes her candidate - would go back to square one having wasted their time and energy for earning absolutely nothing.
Struggling through so much of uncertainties when a candidate finally joins the client's organization, recruiter feels like celebrating the victory on the very first day.
However, the struggle doesn't end here, because the payment is supposed to be released only after a stipulated time frame: Ranging from 15 days to even 3 months in some cases from the date of joining.
So the poor lady, I mean the recruiter, keeps praying to God for helping her candidate continue until she receives the payment.
But even after receiving the payment she is not completely relieved, as a clause in recruitment terms normally specifies free replacement if the candidates leaves the organization within a mutually agreed time frame ranging from six months to one year.
In nutshell, she remains stressed for more than six months from the day her candidate joins client's organization before finally calling it a successful business deal.
If, by chance, the candidate leaves in between, every effort and investment made on this exercise goes down the drain.
The reason why I'm writing this post is: Most you might be knowing quite a few recruiters, but I'm sure very few of you would have any idea about what pains and agonies a recruiter normally goes through.
So next time you interact with a recruiter, please keep in mind that she is into an amazing profession where keeping cool is virtually impossible.
I hope this information helps you to be little more warmer with the recruiters and, in that process, develop a mutually rewarding relationship with them.
