Who lets these recruiters out? TA is no more talent acquisition. It's now called "Total Apathy!". Challenge it!

Title sounds unreal, right? They are not from the future but are edicts from the past. Those edits, which were purposefully buried down!

Check this: Alphabet lays off hundreds from global recruitment team - The Hindu

Did you hear this?
Google parent Alphabet lays off hundreds from global recruitment team!
or,
Google parent Alphabet is laying off employees from its global recruiting team as the tech giant continues to slow hiring!
Google it! How ironic?
Use of AI Chatbot in hiring is going to lift the talent agenda from the dungeons of being relegated to rot at the ATS and then the Incompetent Recruiter's mercy!
Recruiters have done more injustice to the talent than the ATS, right?.
Poor ATS gets the blame, while the perpetrators of this injustice are lack of governance, apathy of senior leadership and the hordes of ill informed, incompetent recruiters!
Sounds brutal? Audit your ATS and trail of applications that never saw the sunlight! Your ATS maybe the biggest 'graveyard' of talent!
Start being respectful to the talent and your only rescue is the AI Chatbot!
As we don't want AI Chatbots to be sentient, you will have to raise your bar for your leadership team who would own the talent march; inwards or outwards!
McKinsey & Company coined the word "War for Talent" but your talent agenda at best remained a purchase department's chore!

What is The Hay Group Total Reward Framework

The Hay Group Total Reward Framework A new way of understanding reward Reward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions. The issue Remuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] .

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular! A diploma holder technical manager gets the salary benchmarked for the top T-school manager with top quality experience in a challenging and break-through...

Tech Recruiting in the AI Era: How LLMs Are Transforming Sourcing and Screening

Recruiting for technology roles has always been a high-stakes game. If sourcing and screening go well, recruiting wins; if not, it’s a black hole. These two functions are the backbone of hiring—everything else is communication. But in the age of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) , the rules have changed. The Old Way: Conventional Tech Recruiting For decades, recruiters relied on: Boolean searches on job boards and LinkedIn. ATS keyword matching for skills and experience. Hygiene checks like education, years of experience , and past employers. While these methods worked, they were rigid and often failed to capture the nuances of evolving tech roles. Recruiters were constantly playing catch-up with new stacks, frameworks, and delivery models. The Modern Way: AI-Powered Recruiting Enter LLMs and AI-driven platforms —game-changers for sourcing and screening.
