EFFECTIVE RECRUITMENT
Effective recruitment isn't just about finding the right candidate, it's also about
maximizing your investment. Just like any other business activity, recruitment
needs metrics to assess its efficiency and identify areas for improvement.
Tracking key metrics like cost per hire, time to hire, and candidate satisfaction
helps ensure you're getting the most out of your recruitment efforts. This data
can be used to set benchmarks, measure progress, and ultimately, attract and
retain top talent while keeping costs in check. Additionally, directly asking
candidates about their experience during the recruitment process, including
both positive and negative aspects, can provide valuable insights for
improvement.
KEY ASPECTS:
Emphasis on Domain Expertise: L&T goes beyond general aptitude tests and
often incorporates role-specific assessments in their written exams and
interviews. This ensures that they identify candidates with the relevant
technical knowledge and skills required for the job.
Skill Mapping and Training: While domain expertise is crucial, the selection
process could benefit from in-depth skill mapping to identify gaps and
potential training needs for new hires. This could involve technical assessments
beyond theoretical knowledge, evaluating practical skills and understanding of
actual job challenges.
3. Addressing Diversity and Inclusion: While L&T strives for diversity, achieving
true representation across levels and departments requires specific initiatives:
Unconscious Bias Training: Implement training programs for hiring

decision-making.
Targeted Outreach: Actively recruit from under-represented groups
through partnerships with relevant organizations and communities.
Inclusive Job Descriptions: Ensure job descriptions are inclusive and
welcoming to diverse candidates.
