Recently, I have been fascinated by the concept of "Cloud Recruiting". Though, had some idea of Cloud Computing, the term Cloud Recruiting just clicked my mind. While searching for more content, I came across Michael Marlatt, accidentally. Actually, it so happened when I was preparing a VisualCV of mine and I saw the profile of Michael. From there it was understood that he is one of the pioneers of Cloud Recruiting. Well, thanks to him, here is some factsheet on Cloud Recruiting, the Future of Recruitment, an Innovation well on the way to redefine the way we are recruiting talent. A change of scenario from your desktop to virtual world. The power to interact with friends, colleagues, and people not known to you. The future of Social Networking Recruiting through the social media  Understanding and Bridging the gap between the Active and Passive Candidate As  Peter Weddle, CEO of Weddles.com, puts it, "Cloud recruiting involves shifting our attention from the transactiona...

Sometimes I wonder, like what to write in my BLOG. Should I keep it as a professional one or a mixture of my dreams and aspirations, passions and thoughts, or plain view points for SAP or Management. But then my well wishers suggested that I should keep it as a mixture, like something for all the people to see. It must have a lighter side to it too. So, here am I posting something that I have written for someone somewhere, don't know whether she is a LOVE, I long for or a FRIEND, I cherish..... Silent dark night, A smooth breeze is blowing, Whispering The thought of you, driving me wild Sitting with my Laptop, I search for you, in my soul It was winter, I met you The place, Oh! It’s the World Wide WEB It started with a SCRAP A mere virtual visit, Then, Started A series of mails and replies Then, it happened…… “Friendship” By summer, this has reached its peak With feelings, emotions, thoughts All intertwined…….You & I, became "WE" This has all, gone so ...

It's time now for me to write something about SAP, because being a SAP HR professional and leading a group of SAP professionals from Asia Pacific region, it seems unavoidable on my part, not to write anything about it. Now, any SAP professionals from the region if interested can join the group at Linkedin and the link to the group " Asia Pacific SAP Professionals " is:  http://www.linkedin.com/e/vgh/1773625/ Now, to begin with, let me start from ERP, that is, Enterprise Resource Planning. Well, it is a general software, that attempts to integrate all departments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that can serve all those different departments' particular needs. Literally speaking a Business Optimization software. Let's say, in an organization we have various departments starting with finance, human resources, production, marketing, etc. So, now each of them utilize their custom software to process their data and functions. Now, what ERP d...

I dreamt a dream That of a sunny day I was walking along the sea Thundering typhoons... I saw a beautiful mermaid  Her visage was shinning like gold I was turned on seeing that sight Then... she came to me And gave me a kiss But I was only, bemocking the moon As it was only a dream And alas! I found myself, in the  land of nod .

Today's world boasts itself as very knowledgeable, determined, cultured, learned, and believes in the concept that scientifically nothing is impossible. We argue on almost all thing, doesn't matter how someone is presenting something or how we perceive something, what matters ultimately is how we are presenting our case or view point. Simply speaking this is a case of EGO and Alter EGO that is there in our cognitive mind. But, this ends up in a fiasco, with no one benefiting from the discussion, resulting in no realistic output. This is the time when the "Six Hats" concept of Edward De Bono comes into play. To quote him, "Thinking is the ultimate Human Resource. Human nature is always dissatisfied and strives to achieve more and more. Usually, the only people who are very satisfied with their thinking skill are those poor thinkers who believe that the purpose of thinking is to prove yourself right- to your own satisfaction". The biggest problem is Confusion,...

Recession is here and companies are looking for ways to fire employees. In this scenario, getting a job is a hard task. Where as, I am getting sick day by day with the kind of mails that are coming to me for different positions not relevant to my profile and expertise. Even I have seen and felt the lack of research on the part of our fellow recruiters in processing a job profile and matching that with a suitable profile.  What recruiters normally do is: Once they receive the job description, they simply go for KEY WORD SEARCH in different job portals and what ever list of profiles the search generates, they simply put them in a mass mailer. But, doing this, they forget that they are only presenting themselves to the whole mass of people who are not suitable for the said position, as UNPROFESSIONAL and lack of SKILLS. So, my sincere request to all recruiters out there, to search and validate the skill match before sending mails to all in general. For example, I am a Recruitment Consulta...
