According to a study by CIEL HR Services, that focused on the latest trends in the Indian talent market, companies are now resorting to recruiting companies for quality talent acquisition across junior, mid and senior-level positions.
Titled, ‘CIELWorks 2020: Latest Trends in Indian Talent Market 2020’ the study noted that social media platforms and job sites were still relevant at hiring candidates, however, an increasing number of companies now prefer to go through employment agencies.
“The main reason behind companies shifting gradually to recruiting companies is because these firms are cutting down their work and time by screening and selecting relevant and quality talent,” Aditya Narayan Mishra of CIEL HR Services said.

It further noted that entry-level roles were filled in less than 30 days, mid-level in less than 60 days and senior-level jobs roles saw positions fill in more slowly at around 180 days.
The key factors that attracted candidates and retained them at the junior level were salaries and career development, while at the mid-level the trend was dominated by designation, job security, salary and development opportunities.
At the senior-level, the key factors that drove employee hiring and retention were centred on the role within the organisation, the variable pay, the study noted.
Other major factors that influence senior-level hiring include financial health of the company, work culture, employer brand and long term vision of the organisation, it noted.
