Where are our corporate recruitments heading to? 

 Currently, most of the candidates from corporates are having a merry-go-round. 

It is nothing but a circle of candidacy were one person after few years of joining a company opts to work in a competition and then joins another one and then for more competition until he settles down with his first good old company. 

Literally, a merry-go-round. 

The best part is that our hiring system also encourages it as its the most simple way to secure a candidate from the competition. 

Strategy being - hire someone first and let go of him and then again hire someone from the competition. 

This circle of candidacy goes on forever. 

What actually happens here is that - 

"The quality of people coming in is worse than the quality of people going out since the focus has always been on poaching talent from each other instead of attracting the right type of talent into the industry in the first place" - Ashish Bhasin, CEO APAC, and Chairman India, Dentsu Aegis Network. 

Is anyone listening?
