2 Years at plugHR!



It has been 2yrs ever since I became a part of plugHR family and the most startling part is without even meeting most of my family members in person. The affiliation with each one of them is simply precious not just because of my interpersonal skills but because I have such passionate leaders who inspire constantly through their conduct.

I had a very narrow view of recruitments before I joined plugHR. For me talent acquisition was limited to a few channels, namely staffing, consultants and job portals. It was only when I got into plugHR that I comprehended how vast a field was recruitments. Finding appropriate people in context to the organization is the fundamental puzzle in recruitments.

When I first understood the concept of plugHR, my reaction was that the concept is innovative and different, finding the right fitment would be a challenge because plugHR is unique in its own way and culture. It’s an organization where you need highly flexible people and experts who can multitask and acknowledge the simplicity and purity of the people working in this organization. In fact, there are very few who have all these qualities. So it seemed like a constant challenge back then but now I feel I know the art of cherry picking when I look at our awesome team.

At plugHR, ‘Hiring Process’ is not really a process. We are here to do our best to establish relationships with all who show interest in our company. We strive to treat them well. We consider this as a recruiting relationship, and give our interactions with candidates a personal touch and hope they gain out of the experience. However, the recruiting relationship is just the beginning. The interview is the day where we do a  fine job of keeping the relationship intact if we’ve managed to bring the prospective employee this far. Infact after we shortlist our prospective employee we invite the candidates to come and spend a week or two at work with us to get a feel of being a plugHR employee.  

Here recruitment drive is not limited from website experience to the onsite interview. It is a series of meaningful communications that begin when a prospective candidate first hears about our company or visits our website. It continues through the recruiting relationship and interviews, and becomes an employee relationship, a positive networking relationship or best of friendships because we treated our prospective candidates well. In a competitive recruitment environment, these relationships certainly matter.
Talent Acquisition for plugHR is more than just a process. It is personal, it is unique, and it is all about associations. After these 2yrs with all the online birthday celebrations, the bootcamps, the social networking fun, and the workflex working culture each day at plugHR has been one of a kind experience with awesome people working at plugHR.
