Pichai Sundararajan
 (born July 12, 1972), also known as Sundar Pichai, is an Indian American business executive.

Childhood & Early Life : 

 

  • He was born as Pichai Sundararajan on July 12, 1972, in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. His father, Regunatha Pichai, worked as an electrical engineer for the British conglomerate GEC and managed a factory that made electrical components. His mother used to be a stenographer before having children. He has one brother.

  • Pichai grew up in a middle-class home and was a bright student. He excelled academically at his school, Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan, and earned a seat in the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, one of the most prestigious engineering institutions in India.

  • He did his B.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur and then won a scholarship to study materials science and semiconductor physics from Stanford University from where he eventually earned his M.S

    Career : 

Pichai worked in engineering and product management at Applied Materials and in management consulting at McKinsey & Company. Pichai joined Google in 2004, where he led the product management and innovation efforts for a suite of Google’s client software products, including Google Chrome and Chrome OS, as well as being largely responsible for Google Drive. He went on to oversee the development of different applications such as Gmail and Google Maps. On November 19, 2009, Pichai gave a demonstration of Chrome OS; the Chromebook was released for trial and testing in 2011 and released to the public in 2012. On May 20, 2010, he announced the open-sourcing of the new video codec VP8 by Google and introduced the new video format, WebM.

On March 13, 2013, Pichai added Android to the list of Google products that he oversees. Android was formerly managed by Andy Rubin. He was a director of Jive Software from April 2011 to July 30, 2013. Pichai was selected to become the next CEO of Google on August 10, 2015, after previously being appointed Product Chief by CEO, Larry Page.

Pichai had been suggested as a contender for Microsoft‘s CEO in 2014, a position that was eventually given to Satya Nadella.

In August 2017, Pichai drew publicity for firing a Google employee who wrote a ten-page manifesto criticizing the company’s diversity policies and arguing that “distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and … these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership”.While noting that the manifesto raised a number of issues that are open to debate, Pichai said in a memo to Google employees that “to suggest a group of our colleagues has traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK”.

In December 2017, Pichai was a speaker at the World Internet Conference in China, where he stated that “a lot of work Google does is to help Chinese companies. There are many small and medium-sized businesses in China who take advantage of Google to get their products to many other countries outside of China.”

Choose Right Staffing Agency To Start Your Career

    Choose Right Staffing Agency To Start Your Career 

 

Every Staffing Agency has a unique quality,  but that quality can only give the best results when they applied in real life. The same thing is applicable in our real life when we are looking for a job or job change as he \she might have the right skills for that job, but whether they would find a job which requires those skills depends on the methodology they use for job -search. however, the candidate is fresher or experience, he/she needs to use a mix of online and offline to reach the right job looking out for a job change.

Core Skills plays a major role in getting a job. Along with the core skills, candidates must have had good communication skills since ‘right communication’ is the key to any business. There are so many staffing agencies in India but you need to choose the right one who can support in the placement consultant you in your job search. There is a growing tendency where small-time staffing agencies demand money from candidates by promising a job. You should always check the trustworthiness of the HR placement agencies that approach you and take a detailed look at their history. Don’t believe blindly by seeing their website well – designed it does not make a staffing company is genuine!

Bloom consulting services is a leader in innovative workforce solutions has been addressing the talent needs of their partner organizations by assisting them with temporary staffing, permanent staffing, leadership search, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). Bloom is a pioneer as far as staffing solutions worldwide. It is considered as it has clients spanning multiple geographies, multiple businesses (IT Services, IT Products, Manufacturing, etc.) and provides expert staffing services to Fortune 500 companies, as well as a start-up. It is not important for finding the candidate-facing placement agency, but having been in the business of ‘staffing’ for many years, the staffing agency experts have a deep-level of understanding about the ‘jobs & skills’ that are in demand according to their requirements. As per their research, they are looking for the candidates that they have the right mix of skills & attitude. Simply having a good academic background does not help, a job candidate should have the extinguish for the knowledge.

As per a report by the group of a staffing agency, 56% of the employees say that they can’t find the skills they need. This is because the job market is very uncomfortable and skills that were in demand a couple of years back have not lost relevance. As a job candidate, you need to constantly up-skill yourself since ‘up-skilling’ is the only way that helps to stay ‘relevant’ in the job industry. Now-a-days Digital Technologies are playing a major role in creating new jobs that never existed, a couple of years from now. It is preferable that job candidates utilize the surplus of free material relevant to their ‘domain & expertise’ on the internet so that they are up-to-date with the latest trends in their domain. When it comes to job search, candidates should utilize the power of ‘online business networks’ since they can connect with other professionals having similar expertise. There are many employees in an organization that have leadership skills but are yet to take the lead. This is where a Staffing agency can bring the transformational change in your organization by identifying next-generation leaders from within the organization and imparting management training programs.

In a nutshell, there is a talent shortage in every industry and organizations try to fill the talent-gap either by grooming internal employees to make them future-ready or hire external talent when they are unable to meet the talent demand from within the organization. As a job seeker, it is advisable to stay ‘relevant’ and employ the right mix of ‘online & offline’ when you plan to make the next ‘big move’!

  ADVANTAGES OF STAFFING AGENCY

                               ADVANTAGES OF STAFFING AGENCY

Staffing agencies contribute to the industry by conducting recruitment drives and staffing potential candidates for organizations, which do not have time, money and the related resources for getting the job done. By stating the aims and needs of the company, through such agencies, staffing agencies, Temporary Staffing, Contract Staffing will recruit the staff based on that criteria. Some staffing agencies provide temporary workers and some would provide permanent employees based on the quota and the demand of the organization.

What is a Recruitment or Staffing Agency?

Recruitment agencies are private agencies that provide candidates for many Multi National Companies like NTT DATA, Dell, Delloite, IBM, HCL etc and also provide job offers and chances for potential employees and candidates. Based on the job description and criteria set by the company, they select various types of candidates through different fields such as advertisements, job sites, through their websites, job fairs and also through social media. When a recruiter finds the candidate profile they go through various processes such as screening tests, verifications etc. If the candidate is suitable for that job profile and meets the company requirement and description, the recruiter sets up an interview with the candidate to discuss the skills and career choices. This information is then passed through the final company where they will decide if the selected candidate has enough skills and ability for the job. After the interview with the recruiter is successful, the recruiter approves the candidate and the candidate is then set up for an interview with the client. The client then goes through the information and points which were sent by the recruiter along with the performance comments. The client conducts the interview with the candidate and if the potential candidate has done the interview very well, he/she would secure the job position, and they might get the job.

Why Recruitment and Staffing Agencies?

We feel happy when some companies are hiring through such agencies for recruitment. There are so many factors that add to this factor. The main reason for recruitment agencies is to appoint and recruit the employees based on the employment type and since it is their job to do so, they will recruit employees more efficiently. Moreover, they know how to recruit the employees based on the economic and financial market relating to the organization. Furthermore, recruiting agencies are agencies that work parallel to the main organization and try to create a workforce for the main company. In this way, the company can save a lot of income on recruitment expenses, transportation and also keeping track of their employees.  They also maintain a separate record only for the purpose and they will save time and money for the documentation.

Advantages of Working with a Staffing Firm:

  • Save Time
  • Expertise
  • Cost
  • Network
  • Providing the required guidance and Skills
  • No Need of advertisement of Company
  • Less Footwork

Save Time : 

Staffing firms have a wide access to help in getting searching & get into jobs for all the candidates that are not found through a simple job search. Hence, there is a wide variety of choices for the candidate to get a job through Consultancy. As a point of view from the candidate, most of the work is done by a recruitment agency and hence not much work is involved for the candidate. Most of the recruiters are knowledgeable about the different trends and changes present in the industry and they try to recruit people according to the current state of the industry. They take only the required amount of employees for the company. Especially if the market is not stable and promising for new employees. Instead of the company, spending hours and hours every day recruiting new people, most of the paperwork and the hard work is done by the recruitment agency.

Expertise : 

Staffing agencies always have a high level of expertise that exceeds a way more than the human resource department of most of the MNC companies. Unlike, the human resource department where they won’t contact one type of people, they contact the different groups of people, the recruiting agency tends to meet with people of various industries and they get a chance to learn about the leading technology, how technology is shifting and how the trends are in the market. Also, recruiting agencies are more suitable for working long tedious hours for employing candidates rather than the HR of a company. They also provide expert recruiters and employment specialists at a low cost than most of the third party companies.

Network :

Staffing agencies have a large network of available workers than the HR department for most companies. Normally, when a company wants workers to work for them, the first thing that they do is advertise, followed by their interview and screening processes and also process the required documentation so as to hire them. Recruiting agencies, on the other hand, have a well-spread network, where they already are in contact with workers whom they identify as the dependent, versatile and fit for the job. So, when employing a recruitment agency, the required amount of manpower that is required for a company can be easily filled within a matter of hours or days, unlike the direct recruitment process, where the company has to wait for months just to get the required number of employees.

Cost : 

Using staffing agencies can be considered advantageous for most companies, since they do not have to spend extra money on employee recruitment and also for funding various processes like pre-employment testing, background testing and also drug screening. They also provide extra cost savings by creating payroll databases and also added administration benefits

Providing the required guidance and Skills : 

Recruitment agencies have well-seasoned and also experienced recruiters. They know the recent trends and changes of the market and they also know how to select the required employee from a whole group of different people, based on the criteria set by the company. Recruitment provides guidelines and tips on how to prepare the CV and also, how to do well in the interview and also, they give training in how to attend the interview with confidence and related training and guidance

No Need of advertisement of Company :

Recruitment agencies have well-seasoned and also experienced recruiters. The recruiters know the updating trends and changes of the market and they also know how to select the candidate for the required employee from a whole group of different people, based on the criteria of the company whether the candidate is suitable for that requirement of that company. Recruitment provides guidelines and tips on how to prepare the CV and also, how to do well in the interview and also, they give training in how to attend the interview with confidence and related training and guidance.

9 Steps to writing a Perfect Resume

                                 9 Steps to writing a Perfect Resume

Your resume is only as good as the information you provide that about you. Make sure you’re prepared with this list of points about yourself.

Are you struggling with writing the perfect resume? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. According to a recent Top Resume study, only 24 percent of professionals described themselves as “confident in their resume-writing ability.” This means that 76 percent of professionals are insecure about their resume and resume-writing skills as a whole.

With that said, whether you’re planning to use a professional resume-writing service or give it a go on your own, it’s important to take some time to prepare for your resume rewrite. Your resume will only be as good as the information about yourself has to work with. Gather the following details ahead of time to craft a powerful document that effectively tells your story and markets your qualifications to help you land your dream job.

Contact information:

While this section may seem obvious, there are a few factors to consider. For instance, how will you display your name? Are you planning to use a nickname, such as Bob, or will you use your full name for the job search? Whichever you choose, make sure you consistently represent your name on all your personal branding materials such as your business cards, LinkedIn profile, and online portfolio or blog.

Select one email address and one phone number to include on your resume. I recommend setting up an email address that’s dedicated to your job-search activities and using your cell phone number on your resume, as this gives you the ability to control the voicemail message, who answers the phone, and when.

Online presence:

 

A job site social media recruiting survey found that 93% of recruiters will search in online profiles before they decided to interview you. Save the time of the recruiter by including the URL to your LinkedIn profile. In addition to your LinkedIn account, the perfect resume must contain any links that are relevant to your work, such as a personal website, portfolio, or blog.  If your Work involves social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram etc. So, that the recruiter may attract to your resume.

Sample job descriptions:

When you’re writing the perfect resume, it should be perfect and that will support a specific job goal of your job. One of the best ways to ensure your resume is properly mentioned is to identify sample job descriptions that you’re interested in and qualified to perform.

Search information in Google and gather a few highlights the points that which are suitable for your position that represents the type of position you’re targeting. It doesn’t matter if the location is ideal; for this purpose, you should only be concerned with the job description and its requirements.

Copy and paste the text of the description itself into a Word or Google document and then highlight the important points or bold any requirements or desirable skills from the posting you possess. This will help you or your writer identify which of your qualifications should be showcased throughout the resume.

Your professional experience:

Start with your most recent job and work your way backward. The perfect resume should detail out all your professional positions within the past 15 years. If you served in the military or held a board position, list this experience as you would any other role in your work history. If you recently graduated from college, include your internships and any work experience that took place since you entered college.

For each role, list the following information:

Company Name and URL

Job Title: If your title is very specific to your organization, you can include a translation of sorts in parentheses next to your official job title.

Start and End Dates: Include the month and year for each of these dates.

Job Description: Think about your roles and responsibilities as they relate to the job and your target role. This is especially important if you’d like to change careers. Include details such as how many people you have managed in your team, the territories you covered, etc.

Achievements: Brainstorm a list of your accomplishments and major contributions that benefited the organization during your tenure. The number of achievements you provide will depend upon how long you remained in that role and how relevant it is to your current job goals. Quantify your accomplishments whenever possible; for instance, how did you help save the company money, generate revenue, improve customer satisfaction, increase productivity, and so forth? If you have an existing resume, only include new details in this section. There’s no reason to repeat anything that already appears in your current resume.

Early career history :

If you’ve been in the workforce for over 15 years, chances are you have a few positions that got left out of the previous section. Before you get started writing the perfect resume, make a list of the job titles you held, the names of each employer, the locations where you worked, and your dates of employment for these roles. While the dates will likely not get used in your resume, it’s good to have a clear record of your earlier experiences for the writer.

Volunteer work :

Have you been actively volunteering with a non-profit organization? Skills-based volunteering (SBV) is a great way to fill an employment gap or supplement your work history when you’re trying to change careers.  Please list any volunteer work you’ve done that’s relevant to your current job goals in chronological order, beginning with your most recent work. If you’re new to the workforce, include any campus activities or clubs in which you were active.

A perfect resume should include the name of the organization and its website URL, the positions you held, your years of involvement, and your responsibilities and contributions to the non-profit. Looking for new volunteer opportunities? Visit sites such as Catch afire and Volunteer Match.

Professional affiliations :

List any relevant professional organizations or affiliations you’re a member of that aren’t listed on your resume. For each group, please list its name and URL, when you became a member, and what positions you held. If you took an active role in the organization, describe your responsibilities and any notable achievements.Interested in joining a new membership group?

Do the same for any relevant certifications you’ve obtained or additional training opportunities or workshops you’ve attended.

Third-party feedback:

Have you received positive customer testimonials or a great performance review? Include this information in your preparation materials. You or your professional resume writer may be able to work some of this information into your resume to demonstrate your hard and soft skills in the workplace.

Amazing Candidate Experience: Key to Hiring Success

            Amazing Candidate Experience: Key to Hiring Success

 

Amazing Candidiate Experience : Key to SuccessBeing in recruitment for more than 12+ years now, we have seen many companies succeeding as well as failing miserably to attract and hire great talent.

Usually, most of the company’s hiring strategies focus on sourcing/reaching to candidates or on compensation/ benefits or branding. In the blow of hiring most of the companies are forgetting and focussing of Candidate experience.
Here there are some important points which we gathered from the various sources :

  • About 46% of job applicants rate their interview experience to be poor.
  • About 58% candidate say they don’t receive regular updates
  • About 52% of job applicants felt that they were not treated as individual

This basically implies that these are candidates, which are :

  • Unlikely to join you
  • Unlikely to recommend their friends and family to join you
  • Unlikely to buy your products or services in the future

Now that we know what bad candidate experience does, let us we share few points which we believe really that are important for ensuring great candidate experience.

First Impression Is The Best Impression :

Considering the current times, everything is available at a click of the button,so its important to have the right mails, relevant information on website & social media etc easily accessible, also the right job descriptions are not just skills, but really you are hiring for ease in search and applying for the job are important.

Time is Money : 

Don’t waste candidate’s time, respond promptly to calls and e-mails of candidates. Keep them updated about progress. Ground-rule is to treat your candidate as he/she is your customer.

Personalization:

Make sure that you are providing a personalized touch to each of your candidates, respond to them as you would expect yourself to be responded when you are applying for a job.

Remember that every candidate is not just an applicant but they are the bridge that connects you future hires or prospective customers. Each & every great experience will not just be a hire but a start of something great.
