Life @ Aditi

March 27th, 2008

 This is my ’second innings’ at Aditi and I bet that says how much I enjoy being here!  Life does comes a full circle, and here I am; Back after a span of  6 years.  I left Aditi as wonderful place to work — vibrant, creative and fun! and found it the same fun hangout as I left. But make no mistake, fun and talent go together here. You can’t throw a stone here in any direction and miss somebody who is a party animal, yet can cook twenty minute code brownies in five minutes!

Life of a recruiter is never dull, each day unfolds different experience.  Many people wonder what keeps the recruiter busy.  Trust me sometimes there are not enough hours in the day. We are meticulous unlike the urban legend around HR, and you will be surprised to find various type of activities that need our constant attention.   Typical day at office – scan mails and then prioritize my tasks for the day.  Primary activities are talking to candidates, sourcing, scheduling interviews and yet find time to meet stakeholders (in this case the hiring managers ) to gather new requirements.  A recruiter is required to wear many hats – that of a counsellor, listener, brand ambassador as you might know not all hats fit the same. The most important aspect of this job is to build trust with the candidates and this takes time and patience.

So what does a recruiter expect from a candidate? Since we are an ever growing company which is run like a charged-up startup, we prefer folks that can work without much structure, be flexible to change direction at a moment’s notice and make great things happen. If you speak l33t, that is an advantage. It takes an Aditian couple of seconds to prove that an IIT + T equals zero. How long does it take you? If you are in the ballpark, lets talk.
