 Challenges faces by Hr Professionals 

Fast hiring of candidate

One of the primary challenges that recruiters face these days is the need to hire candidates in a short period. Candidates go through several steps of screening and interviews within a short amount of time. Due to the multiple projects that are rising and showing major need for candidates in the companies. It becomes difficult for the recruiters to meet the expectations of hiring required numbers of candidates with appropriate qualification, ability and high caliber in a short period.

Not having enough resources

Sometimes the resources provided to the recruiter are not enough. The resources are used to place ads on media platforms such as LinkedIn, Nakuri.com, Indeed, Hirect etc. about the job openings in the company. If the HR professional has enough resources, then they can use high ranking websites to rank top in the recruitment posts. As a result, HR professionals can get qualified candidates. If the resources aren’t enough, they will use free job boards or other channels. Then finding qualified candidates will become the major challenge for HR professionals.

Verifying academic credentials

One of the major challenges faced by HR professionals during the hiring process is that they are unable to get credentials and academic validations from the qualified candidates. The candidates apply for the position and when they get qualified they do not provide academic qualifications on time. So, the recruiting staff has to put lot of efforts to communicate with the candidates and ask them to send the credentials and academic qualifications. So that they can verify the validity of the applications.

Finding candidates that can fit in with corporate culture

The biggest hiring problem for HR professionals is finding employees that are suitable for corporate culture. If the new employees are unable to fit in with the team and perform well in the corporate environment, then HR professionals have to start the process of selecting a suitable candidate from scratch.
