Many companies in India have come forth to tackle the
recruitment issues of freshers which have been plaguing the growing markets
across various industries. We, at Appco, believe in the power of young minds
who, when mentored correctly, can be an asset to the Organization.
However, the people in the top management often mistake the
freshers for being inexperienced and under skilled. This causes the gap where a
lot of freshers out of business schools, colleges fail to make an impression
despite good grades and confidence. At Appco, we have always vouched for our
people. This belief is at the core of how we recruit. Our recruitment systems
are much focused where we initiate the recruitment with a prior call to the
candidate, a phone interview, a face to face interview and an Observation day
test which helps us determine our ideal candidate. Although our process seems
to be quite strenuous, but we never shy out from hiring freshers. We feel that
a fresher is like molten iron which can be mould into the responsibilities by
understanding their skills and giving them a fair chance to display what they
are capable of.
Adjusting to a new person in the team can be a risky task but
with a little effort on employee engagement and understanding, companies can
make sure that a fresher becomes an equally crucial part of the team. The most important
quality required in an employee for sustainability is their ability to accept
and adopt change. A fresher is the most adaptable and has more willingness to
undertake change. Experienced employees, on the other hand have been reluctant
to change. Freshers additionally come with their humongous bundle of energy and
are mostly open to work hard. This forms their basis for learning. With proper
induction and training from a supportive team, the freshers, as they advance in
the coming months, achieve a sense of responsibility and gradually develop onto
becoming a valued employee or team member.
