If you are brand calling for fresher jobs in Bangalore, you must constantly be on your toes trying to improve the hiring process. Recruiting a youngster who is the perfect fit for your firm is your best investment for the future. You could organise a campus recruitment test to filter out the best candidates, but you need to focus on a combination of strategies for smarter and effective recruitment. Here are five tips to achieve the same:

1. Pre-placement visits to colleges

You can’t just make one visit, conduct a few random interviews and leave the campus. You would need to make several visits, at least two. You would need to create visibility for your firm, create awareness about your place in the sector/industry you are in, and show students/freshers what they can look forward to, if they were to be part of your firm. You should touch upon aspects like the kind of clients you have, the projects your company handles, how new candidates can contribute, what your work culture is like, and general market trends.

2. Clear and concise job description

Sometimes, even recruiters are unclear about what they want from a specific candidate. If you seek to hire, first assess what you are looking for from a candidate, and what the job description is. A clearly written description with the job title, responsibilities, extra qualifications, basic requirements and compensation will go a long way in attracting the right candidates. Also, if you are upfront and clear, only those interested will apply. This makes your process of filtering candidates easy and saves time.

3. Deciding which campus to target

One of the most aspects of campus recruitment is deciding which campuses to target. Assessing where the biggest talent pool lies is important, and one way to do so is seek data from your current employees. Which colleges produced the best employees in your firm? Ask your stuff for inputs or references to shortlist the best campuses, so you don’t have to waste time or resources.

4. Campus recruitment test

This is an important step if you are keen on saving time and filtering out the candidates who may not exactly fit into the role you are seeking. Arrange a test online for candidates specifically seeking fresher jobs in Bangalore and assess them on parameters like technical knowledge, logical thinking, soft skills and communication, among others. You could use an online platform/app that helps you with skills assessment and scores, a win-win for both recruiters and job seekers. Don’t rely merely on resumes for they don’t speak of real talent.

5. Always focus on long-term

Maintain an ongoing relationship with the campuses you shortlist, and conduct events, organise internship programmes or tie-up with colleges to help freshers prepare for their careers. This will come in handy during your next recruitment drive.
