An Idiotic Virtual Recruitment Management Methodology!

I just hope and wish that once for and all, my brain focuses only on the work, I have. I am getting some really crazy ideas for now. Please dont *curse* me for the below idiocity :)


I’ve been pondering around the web and just interacting with other people, and it seems to me that there is a new emerging recruitment methodology being developed.

Let’s name it “Virtual Recruitment Management” for now.

Here’s the concept

As faced by most of the companies in times of recession, even the best of the people are forced to leave the company.
You will be surprised to know that there are some 170 companies (very small though; many being Korean, Japanese, etc) coming to Mumbai next month, targeting to hire about 15,000 employees.

Here’s the catch. The employments are not effective immediate. They are effective 2 to 4 months from now. And this is how the budgeting would be managed (explaining in terms of How can we Implement).

Normal Scenario:

- Recruit X person, (Budgeted @ Y amount / person). Total Budget: X*Y --> Jan. Give Training.

- Recruit X person, (Budgeted @ Y amount / person). Total Budget: X*Y --> Feb Give Training.

- Recruit X person, (Budgeted @ Y amount / person). Total Budget: X*Y --> Mar Give Training.

Total: 3*XY

Virtual Recruitment Management Programme:

- Assume that you Recruit X person, (Budgeted @ Y amount / person). Total Budget: X*Y --> Jan (Don’t actually recruit/employ; no people; no KT)

[You do not actually recruit, but just that the Budget XY is reserved now. It enters the RESERVED BUDGET POOL. This budget now cannot be claimed back, by the management from our group. So you are taking the required budget that is needed, but you have the liberty of the time, so as when to use it]

- Actually Recruit 3X person, (Budgeted @ Y amount / person). Total Budget: 3X*Y --> Feb

[Total Budget in the RESERVED BUDGET POOL till Feb End: 2X*Y. Still the Remaining ‘XY’ amount, has either to be adjusted (squeezed out), or loaned from the Company Management]

[KT TIME]

- Assume that you Recruit X person, (Budgeted @ Y amount / person). Total Budget: X*Y --> Mar (Don’t actually recruit/employ; no people; no KT)

[Loan payback time :)]

In the month of February, with recruiting 3X*Y people, will be more effective, as someone will take care of efficiently drafting a Training Plan (with some Classroom training).

Now with 10 seniors around, and with a plan in hand, 2hrs per week, by a mentor can be very useful, and effective.

Currently, we have a new comer, *i**l, and I see that no proper training plan is in place. May be, because, for one person, it does not make sense for some overview/classroom training.

If you have 10 people around, you always want them @ one place – the Classroom. :)

The idea is that its only bad for the mentor, but its worst for the new joinee! Half knowledge is fatal :)

*Disclaimer:

However, my idea, I understand are at a very preliminary stage, and I completely agree that it would sound too kiddish to propose/suggest it to higher management.

But just a view, I wished to share.
