Talent recruitment has become so critical, yet many organizations fail at it. A business consulting publication has informed us about some common recruitment myths which must be rectified. It is often wrongly thought that a sophisticated technology enabled algorithm can solve all recruitment woes, yet it must be understood that recruitment is an art and not an exact science. Also many companies wrongly assume that the best talent is making a beeline to join that firm. Recruitment must be a constant process and not one triggered off by panic when there is sudden position to fill. In fact a lot of these task can be better handled by recruitment agencies rather than in house. Even smaller firms require a formal recruitment strategy and not any ad-hoc system.
