Client : Find me a candidate with 10+ years of experience but under 30 years old.
Me : Means someone who started working as a teenager?
Client : We also need a candidate with IIT/IIM background and the budget is ₹10 LPA.
My honest reaction : So the right fit would be a genius working for charity??
The paradox doesn't end here, let's see the candidates’ version,
Candidate : I want a remote job with ₹12 LPA, 4 day workweek and other facilities.
Me : What's your experience?
Candidate : I'm a fresher.
The paradox in recruitment is never ending and then people say, “Why's there a mismatch?”🤷🏻♂️
