somehow would you like to introduce yourself in this life yeah so uh money has already covered uh my work experience but uh yeah i have two plus years of experience into uh human resource and i have more than one years of association with specky fox now so in speccyfox i take care of recruitment on boarding uh some part of vendor management and employee engagement and as i told before i have completed my pgdm from hr and marketing uh from ilm institute of technologies look now so yeah that's it about myself thank you so thank you everyone i think i have covered most of the uh basics of specky fox uh we are also available on youtube about our business model you can check us on youtube as well so if there would be any other questions and answers you can surely connect thanks so much i guess that explains a lot to a lot of people i mean you covered most of the questions that i had so uh moving on to the other questions that i have in mind as an hr person what advice would you like to give to an entry-level developer or any person who is seeking job in your organization or just generally looking for their first job uh so uh many times entry level people do compare themselves with the other entry level freshers and they always see okay they got so much placement and i did not got a placement like that so focus on learning first stage is learning always learning should be a focus area or target area for a year then one should move towards a monetary growth first learning growth has to be taken care so look towards learning then a organization or anything look for a platform or look for a company who is giving you a platform to learn so that is a most important thing for entry level people how about you sawmill so yeah i believe that uh for entry river the most important thing is uh learning into the uh different different domains like if you are into a charming or if you're into development domain it is very important for you to learn uh basic things about that rules and responsibilities and if i talk about our organization it's been the team has been really energetic and uh we have really uh young freshers within our team so it's very important uh to be energetic as well uh for learning different different uh things and it's very important for you to grow if you are curious to learn new things so yeah that is what is important for uh you in an organization i believe to grow and to expand yourself yeah exactly i mean being patient enough and being consistent to learn and then you know exploring your horizons is the most important part of development so i guess that's i have to say well stated so since you've already mentioned the vacancies that are available with you can you explain your hiring procedure at like how do you hire the new talent uh so i think somehow is the right person to answer this question because samia takes care of the talent acquisition part so somehow yeah yeah so thanks supriya so the hiring process start with the screening of the candidate and uh then there are three rounds of interviews that we take so first round is the technical round and a second round depending upon the first round it can be the technical plus managerial round so it will be both technical and managerial round and the third round is hr round of discussion so uh basically all the queries that the candidates have regarding the organization working ours uh their salary negotiations and all so yeah these are the three uh steps which we do for the hiring process so at this point i have a very personal question to ask i mean since i have got got hold of two you know hr executive and a manager i need to ask this what are the tips and tricks do you know like acing your interviews like a lot of people get confused during the hr round only so what are the tips and tricks and what are the kind of you know like characteristics that you look in look in for a candidate so as sonya said that we have three set of uh interview process so first is always technical so first in first out no one wants to understand that how uh professional you are and how time management you know how to manage time or anything they just want to know technically how much do you know so they just check the technical understanding so in when whenever there is a technical interview you need to understand what uh technology interview you are giving and what you are going to attend so go through the jd understand the technology interview you are giving and second round where we are talking about the managerial route they check whether the candidate will fit into our culture okay whether that person will fit into the culture so manager round is always taken care by the uh founder co-founder of the company okay they see whether the person will fit into the system or not if they like the candidate they pass into me and it is not always mandatory that i will only select the candidate even if they have been shortlisted technically or by the manager if i feel that candidate is a forged candidate or has been faking out throughout the process or being greedy so i might decline so i will feel that this person might not fit or this person might damage the environment of the company or culture of the company so i can also reject so these things everyone should take care of that while they are giving interviews they should not sound very uh self opinionated or they are just talking about their what they are looking for and the monetary growth with the hr they should understand the culture of the company while they are talking to the hr so these things few things they need to take care while they are appearing for an interview especially with specky fox okay somewhere how about you yeah exactly so we are looking forward for candidates who are really uh you know gelling up with our environment because we don't as i have been associated with this specky fox since one year plus so we are not looking forward for candidates who will create hassle in the environment of specky fox so we are looking forward for somebody who is really uh willing to gel up with the organization and willing to give something to the organization right uh so it is uh the starting stage is for uh it goes for me as well when i'm screening the candidate i look forward for the candidate whom i see can be a good match for the organization whether it is uh in the basis of our uh salary expectation whether it is bases on our communication whether it is in the basis of technical uh expertise uh that the candidate is holding so that is what i look forward for in a candidate like how fit the candidate is for the future roles and responsibilities and that is what i believe is important to take in care by us individual one right so recently the psychometric tests have been taking a lot of hype i mean a lot of in a lot of hiring procedures psychometric tests are involved so what is that you know like what is the technique to acing those tests and what is the goal of those tests uh so ideally uh these kind of tests has been uh actually to filter out candidates with and this has been followed by mncs uh so uh to be frank specky fox uh or in with any entry level company you won't find psychometric test has been conducted they usually conduct they are usually conducted by top mncs because they get a lot of bulk series and they want to check technical and psychological ability of a candidate so that they will be a right fit in the system right okay yeah that explains it so recently your company partnered with geeksforgeeks for you know like sourcing the candidates for your tech hiring so what are your expectations out of this partnership so uh we are expecting somewhat a good uh we have hired some candidate good candidates from your end and uh yeah we are looking forward for some really good talent from your end if there's a player want to add something to that so as samya mentioned that we have recently hired uh two candidates very recently we have hired two candidates in the month of april and both the candidates are performing really well so we are really happy and uh surprisingly one of the candidate was even selected in the first month or or in the first week itself for the client interview so we usually do not place the candidate for client interview so one of the candidate could crack client interview and we could see that achievement and we were really happy to see that and we feel proud to see such candidates coming forward from geeks for greeks and they understand the profile and the confidence level can be seen so similar kind of profiles we are looking forward from geeks for greeks that uh the open positions will be filled by you all yeah we are looking forward for extension so yeah that's what we are expecting let's hope for the best let's hope a lot of the people who are watching this can you like grab those opportunities so since you both are involved in the hr department and i just have i just have to ask like how important is the resume and like how do you screen out the best resumes for your company yeah yeah so yeah since i take care of the recruitment part so it is very important that you mention all the projects or all the things that you have done in your past experience because i have uh many time have faced the candidate has not mentioned anything in the uh in their resumes so when they go for the technical round how will the you know the people who are taking the interview process would know that what all things you have done into that and the most of the questions revolve around that as well that what all uh technologies you have worked on what all things you have done what project you have done so i always say uh to the candidates that please mention all the details information that you have done in your projects if if they are experienced so if they have any client so what all things you have done there so it will help the you know the person who is taking your interview process to know that what all technological uh uh talents you are having or what all things you are pursuing so yeah it it is very important like resume is your first impression impression in the organization whether it is the startup organization or mnc that is very important to uh bring in a good resumes you know it is the first impression yeah just to add on this by uh the project we do not mean to mention the client name we just want to understand the project you have done so even if the project name is missing kind of project you have done that has to be covered in the cv if you if you have done n number of projects just mention top five or ten uh top projects you have handled so that it helps the recruitment team to screen profiles right so i mean that explains a lot so i guess that's it for the questions that i have before concluding this conversation what would be your message to the candidates who are watching this video and looking for an opportunity at speccyfox so i think we have already uh shared about the open positions we have but still we are uh as we are expanding we have planned to hire or almost 25 people more in system uh by november so uh go through the active positions we have you can get in touch with geeks for weeks and get to know what all open positions we have go through the job description and then only apply just clear your mind for which profile you are applying for don't be confused with the kind of role you want to opt at very initial level only you have to be clear with the concept that okay i want to get into testing or whether i want to go into development part so uh while applying many a times freshers are confused about this whether they should go for testing whether java or any other technology so clear your mindset and do share your cv if you are working on any if you have any experience on any other technology apart from this we will see whether we can fit into any client projects thank you uh supriya samya how about you yeah exactly so uh most of the things supre has already covered but uh just uh go through the jd and apply for the position which you think that he was most suitable for and i've seen many people they don't just read the jd and they just go for the interview process we have faced this issues many a time so uh i would say that please read the job description uh properly before applying for any job and go through it go through the company side go to you know evaluate because you are spending a time with that organization so understand that organization understand what they are requiring for and then uh open uh your you know just go for the job positions yeah that is what i would like to say right so thank you supriya thank you so much it was great talking to you i learned a lot from you i hope a lot of the people who watch this uh grab those opportunities and you know like i hope you get the best recruits out of the audience and the pool that exists so uh thank you everyone for watching and thank you both for joining us and spending time from your schedule have a great day thank you thank you dwane thank you for conducting this session thank you thank you bye
