Cybercrime is the greatest threat to every company!!

Have you ever had a nightmare that the information on your applicants or employees is being marketed? Data leakage is a significant worry for employers. If your data is exposed to the market, it not only results in financial loss but also harms the reputation of your business.

In the past two to three years, numerous organisations have experienced cyberattacks. Employers are responsible for protecting their employees' personal and sensitive information, including name, address, contact information, ID details, bank account numbers, email addresses, and insurance information.

In the current digital age, protecting your business from data loss is crucial. Here are a few things:

• Periodical review of IT and security policy: You can employ the most recent technology to secure your data by regularly updating your IT and security policies.
• Use of licensed HR software: Licensed HR software increases productivity of the HR department while securing your data.
• Training to prevent phishing attacks: To prevent phishing assaults, regular training sessions should be conducted.

The important thing to keep in mind is that if a data breach occurs, all eyes will be on the firm and not the individuals. The hiring staff is in charge of protecting the data. Start protecting your employees' data now that you are aware of a few data security guidelines before it is too late!

To prevent market leakage, AideWiser securely maintains application data. We have solid IT policies, reliable software, safe networks, etc. To find an excellent candidate from our secured pool of talents, share your needs with us.

Don’t just work hard work smart!!

In the digital age, automation has sped up every process and made our lives simpler. Why then should the human resources department stay away from this automation? Automation is now being used by recruiters, cutting the hiring period down to two weeks. These factors support the use of technology in the hiring process.

• To lighten the load: According to the report, over 50% of candidates turned down the offer as a result of a poor candidate experience. Not getting a response to a job application is a frequent occurrence for the applicant. We understand as recruiters that, this is because there are so many resumes. You can use artificial intelligence to send automatic responses to numerous recipients at once. When applicants hear back from the organisation, it leaves a good impression in their heads. 
• Shorter hiring cycle: Automation is quite useful for screening resumes. During the application process, questions regarding the prospective candidate's necessary qualifications or degree of experience may be raised. Automation can screen out applications that don't meet your requirements, which shortens the recruiting process.
• Easy onboarding: An automated onboarding process may guide new hires through each step, including training sessions, connecting them with co-workers, and important reminders, etc. This not only cuts down on HR's workload but also improves the organisation's reputation.

Automation reduces your workload and gives you more time to communicate with candidates directly. You can then pay attention to other important duties.

With AideWiser, you may identify qualified individuals for your firm via an automated hiring procedure. Tell us about your requirements!

Don’t wait for the Talent war to reach your company!!

Employee’s expectations for their career and the companies they work with, have been changed post the Global Pandemic. As ‘job hopping’ is trending in new generation, retaining good employees is challenging for the companies, which in turn is causing a talent war. For employee retention, employers must recreate a workplace environment where growth and fun go hand in hand. Here are a few tips to follow to win the talent war. 

• A healthy Work life Balance is the new personal priority of the employees: Global pandemic has changed the work culture drastically. There were no boundaries for the working hours during the pandemic. Due to which employees attitude changed towards their work or company. To provide work life balance to the employee always remember, employee is a human being and not a machine. Even if your organisation is working in hybrid model, work timetable should not intrude into the personal timetable. The delivery deadlines should be more realistic and achievable within the working hours of the employee. 

• Rethink on talent acquisition and retention strategies: Pre-pandemic strategies will not work post pandemic as work culture has changed upside down.  Take help of recruiting vendors to lower the work stress on current employees for hiring. Establish communication with the exiting employees to understand their expectations. 

• Redefine the company policies to make them more employee friendly: Ensure they benefit the employee and the company simultaneously. In stead of a one size fits all style of policy making, adopt a more flexible approach under which policies can be tailored to best suite the employee needs while maintaining the company profits.

Identifying loopholes in the systems or process pertaining to employees will help you to win the Talent War. 

Consider talent war as an actual war and design your winning strategy with us. We are here to help you with the entire process, from candidates on paper to candidates on your payroll.

‘Arise, awake, and stop not until the goal is reached’ – Swami Vivekananda

 

Have you chosen a life objective? Both personally and professionally? Did you achieve your objective? If the answer is yes, then congrats to you! If not, then worry not. You'll need to put in a little more effort and the success is all yours.

This incredibly motivational quote is quoted by Swami Vivekanand-"Arise, awake, and stop not until the goal is accomplished." This means that persistence will result in success.

Swami Vivekananda always believed that individuals who are persistent, have the capacity to get over the challenges they encounter.

The generation today easily gives up due to the low patience level in the digital era. Since failure is the first step to success, we shouldn't give up if we don't achieve our goal in our first try.

Swami Vivekananda coined this phrase for Indians many years ago to motivate them to fight for their independence, yet today it is still relevant for the youth of the country. On the occasion of National Youth Day, let's vow to keep going and working towards achieving our objectives. This is going to be a sincere tribute to Swami Vivekananda.

Quiet Quitting. What is it?

Is it putting down your papers silently or slipping your resignation letter under your boss’s door and avoid talking to him entirely?

Well, no it is not. Quiet quitting is the latest trend among Gen Z workers owing to Global burnout. Experts say that 52% of the global workforce is burnt out. It started with the “Work from home” culture during the pandemic when our offices intruded into our personal spaces. Those huge backlogs, late night calls caused the burnout. And now as a result workers across the globe have started Quiet Quitting. 

What does Quiet Quitting actually mean? It means quietly withdrawing and disengaging from work and doing the bare minimum. Not showing enthusiasm to go over and above, performing below average or just the average so that you stay on the job. While this is exactly the kind of behaviour employees are not expected to show, it has now become a global trend. We may be even part of the trend and not know entirely. 

If you’re quite quitting at your workplace, stop it right now! Now, before you decide to close this page and decide not to read this article further, give it a few minutes to understand why I say this.

I understand the pandemic has taken a toll on us both physically and emotionally. And hence people are withdrawing not just from work but also from a lot of things. So, the question we need to ask ourselves is, while it is understandable, is it right? While not biting more than you can chew is good, spending time with your family is good, not stretching over the weekend is good, and not being flexible is not a very good quality to have, especially if you aim to grow in your career. And remember over a period of time such behaviour will be noticed and reflect poorly on your appraisal. This is exactly the kind of thing that will negatively impact your bonus and hike. So, what is the right thing to do?

1) If you are tired of constantly overworking and cannot take it anymore, talk to your manager. 

2) Take a break, rejuvenate and upscale yourself and come back to work to give your 100%.

3) If you are not enjoying what you’re doing, then switch.

If none of the above work then quit but do not quite quit. While it is good to stay up to date with global trends, one needs to be wise about which one to adopt.

Job descriptions provide potential candidates their first impression of the organisation. It is a crucial first step in attracting prospective employees. Write a job description while paying attention to the following points.

2. Clearly state the required skills: The applicant will read this section of the job description, so it is crucial. The job description must accurately and completely define the required skills in order to draw in qualified candidates.

3. Get feedback from current workers: Get opinions on the job description's tone, language, skills, etc. from current workers. Current employees may have opinions on how it is communicated.

To avoid making undesirable hires, employers should place emphasis on the organization's vision and motto in addition to the typical job description elements.

-Mayuri Shende

The most important step of all is the first step!

The first and most crucial stage in the hiring process is creating a job description. The sufficient time you invest in preparing the job description will reduce your work in the next processes.

The job description should accurately reflect the job duties of the role. A job description that is well-worded helps candidates visualise the position. This helps ensure that the position receives only relevant applications.

Important components of the job description: 

Job title: The job title should be included in the job description since it communicates the position's designation, level of experience, and range of responsibilities.

Job duties and responsibilities: This component of the job description needs to be clear and concise. This part will be read by applicants. This must list the person's regular responsibilities in priority order (least priority tasks at the bottom)

Experience level: The job description should specify the minimum number of years of experience required. It offers candidates a clear idea of whether or not it is appropriate for them.

Skillset: Two categories can be used to classify skills. Both essential and desirable skill sets are needed. Dividing skills into these two sections will gives clear picture of required skill sets.

Salary range: The range of salary offered should be mentioned in the job description. You, as a recruiter, will benefit from providing a salary range because only qualified applicants will apply for the post.

Working conditions: This part is a good to have. This part can include information on working from home or the office, the number of weeks off, travel requirements, etc.  

Ensure the job description contains all of these details to draw in eligible applicants.

Time spent on hiring is time well spent!!

As a hiring managers, knowing what to look for in a resume becomes essential when you post a job for a high volume position and receive over 200 resumes for screening. 

The hiring manager must adopt the attitude that they must look beyond the resume in order to construct a high performing team. The hiring manager must scan the resume and determine whether the individual has the necessary experience or not. The recruiter must craft questions to get more information about the past positions since the resume just includes a synopsis of the previous position. Here are a few crucial details that should not be overlooked during the screening process.

• Relevant Experience: Particularly for tech positions, it is crucial to verify the amount of experience and area of expertise that are pertinent. The candidate's prior duties must be understood by the recruiter. Additionally, the hiring manager must review their social media pages to verify the information listed on the resume. 
• Integrity and work ethics: Because training in this area is quite difficult, candidates must have strong work ethics and integrity. Technical skills can be taught; ethics cannot. While unethical candidates may harm the organisation, ethical candidates will assist it. Work ethics can be assessed by putting candidates in the different situations. 
• Willingness to learn: The candidates' learning capacities might be linked to any extra courses or certification programmes. The interviewer must probe about new skills picked up from prior employment.

The screening of applicants is a very important step in the entire recruitment process, hence AideWiser has strict SoPs for the screening procedure. We send you thoroughly selected candidates for your comments, and after receiving your approval, we set up an interview.

Share your criteria right away to avoid all this trouble at the screening phase.

Keep calm and start hiring!

You might question the need for employees as a small business owner considering the associated costs. A working sample is typically required by organisations in order to obtain funding. The first step toward an overall success of the company is hiring employees.

Each organisation has its own aspirations. Organisations require the support of their personnel to achieve their goals. A single person cannot complete all jobs by himself or without taking assistance from others. Here are some further justifications for hiring employees.

1. To boost revenue: More workers will result in more customers, and more customers will mean greater revenue. If you have a team of workers, you can accept more projects or tasks, which in turn raises turnover.

2. Fresh business concepts: Having more employees will encourage everyone to think of more ideas, which will boost the profitability of your company. Because each person has unique strengths, different employees can work on various jobs at once and successfully implement that concept.

3. A strong reputation in the marketplace: The number of employees is frequently correlated with the company's financial health and considered success by the clients. Having additional staff indicates that business is going well.

Well qualified employees are as crucial as number of employees. The organisation gets benefit from hiring the right candidates, while suffering from hiring the wrong ones.

Why to retain employees?

The problem that many organisations have is retaining their employees. Few organisations may believe that hiring new employees will enable them to attract new talent but doing so increases costs for the business. It requires funds for advertising, training, and onboarding of new employees. The following are some justifications for retaining your employees.

• Cost of turnover: As was already indicated, there are expenses related to hiring new personnel, training them, buying assets for the candidates, providing insurance, and other advantages. The departing candidate must be compensated by the company. According to some research, it will cost the business the equivalent of 6 to 9 months of an employee's income to recruit and train a replacement.
• Strategy leaks: Each organisation has its own unique strategy. Its leak would be detrimental to the organisation. Senior personnel design these strategies by taking into account the difficulties they experience managing projects or jobs. This indicates that employees are aware of the plan. If an employee leaves the company, there is a potential threat that such a strategy will be leaked to the market.
• More employee expertise: Employees have more time to develop their expertise the longer they work for a company. Older personnel have a thorough understanding of procedures, which will benefit the organisation. The task will take a new employee longer to complete than it will take an experienced employee.

Businesses that focus more on staff retention and mitigating risk of turnover grow significantly more than companies that don't. 

Employee retention is also influenced by finding the right applicant for your company. Hiring a competent, talented, and suitable candidate will enable them to work for the company for longer.

Laid offs – first aid to for organizations

A person being laid off may seem insignificant, yet it has a significant impact on the businesses. Layoffs are not a plan but an option when a business is not profitable or experiencing financial difficulties. The corporation has numerous difficulties with mass layoffs. The challenges the company can face are mentioned below,

• Costs: The main goal of layoffs is to reduce costs. However, the company frequently finds itself having to pay out more money to departing employees in full and final settlements and leave encashments. When business improves, an organisation must spend money on acquiring and training new employees.
• Emotional discomfort: Not only does the person who is laid off experience distress, but so do the remaining employees. The remaining employees' workloads or responsibilities will increase as a result of being laid off. Employee productivity may suffer if they are anxious or stressed out. Observing a co-worker leave for no apparent reason could inspire the existing staff to hunt for other positions.
• Customer loyalty: Layoffs can have a negative effect on customers because they are directly related to the organisation's financial health. Less staff can result in service delays that increase the likelihood that customers will leave.

According to the Industrial Disputes Law, before making any layoffs, a company with more than 100 employees must obtain permission from the government. Organisations risk facing legal repercussions if the law is not obeyed.

Layoffs may seem like a simple solution, but it has a significant influence on the organisation. Therefore, it is claimed that layoffs can be viewed as a first-aid measure but are unquestionably not a long-term fix.

How to maintain healthy office environment?

Keeping a happy, healthy atmosphere helps to increase staff productivity and motivates individuals. The workplace has a significant impact on an employee's confidence, mental health, and mood. Always remember that your staff is human, not just business instruments. Here are a few tips for maintaining a healthy work atmosphere.

• Select skilled team members: Businesses are aware that a productive workplace is essential to success. Always check to see if your staff members are good managers and team players. According to a study, workers in toxic environments tend to become toxic supervisors. Allow toxic personnel to quit the company without hesitation.
• Create a comfortable workspace: A tidy, appealing workplace makes employees happy. Allow workers to select a pleasant space on their own. When an employee selects their own workstation, they can set it up in the way they find comfortable and appealing.
• Hosting events: Stress is frequently connected to a toxic atmosphere. Hosting such activities can help employees feel less stressed, which can improve the workplace atmosphere. Events also foster a stronger bond of friendship among team members. 
• Express your gratitude to your team: If you acknowledge their work, employees will feel appreciated. Simply saying "thank you" can inspire staff to go above and beyond for your business.

A happy and healthy work atmosphere can increase productivity, lower stress levels, and increase job satisfaction.

Job hopping

Choosing your first job as your last job is now considered archaic. Now it's history, that employees will work with the employer for decades. Previously, job hopping was not encouraged as it questions your loyalty or stability towards your employer, but now statistics say it is a trend post-pandemic. 

Job hopping refers to changing jobs frequently. The global pandemic has changed the work culture drastically. Now, working from home or in a hybrid mode are not alien concepts. Job hopping does not affect the entertainment or media industries, but it has an impact on the technology, medical, teaching and several other industries. 

The primary reasons for changing jobs are financial advancement and work-life balance. During the pandemic, many employees acquired skills through online courses, which helped them explore new jobs with significant financial growth.

Top resume errors to Avoid

Resume mistakes, at best, give a bad first impression; at worst, they’ll cost you the job.

Here are some common mistakes to avoid :

1. Pass the 6-second exam: Recruiters spend only 6 seconds on average evaluating each resume. Make an instant positive impact. 
2. Don't include all work details: Don’t include the jobs that you had for a short period. 
3. Keyword use: Including too many industry-related keywords in your resume may impair its credibility. 
4. Bolding inaccurate information: Bold your position with the company rather than just the corporation you worked for. This is what the hiring manager or recruiter is searching for. 
5. Inclusive of personal interests: It's advisable to keep out your hobbies unless they're related to the job. 
6. Include a photograph: With the extensive usage of social networking sites, adding photographs to resumes is no longer necessary. 
7. Emphasis on Relevant  Skills: Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are no longer desirable skills. Instead, leverage that area to emphasize your industry's experience with more diverse technological tools.

That covers all of the most typical resume blunders. However, perfecting your CV is only the first step in your job hunt; you must also apply for the proper positions, create a compelling cover letter, and nail the interview.

Resume tips when applying for a Web3 job

While simple and minimalistic resumes are usually advised for typical software developer jobs, when we talk about Web3, we talk about newness, freshness, and creativity. Your resume should reflect these qualities. Show that you're an original person who likes to think outside the box. Also, the following sections shouldn't be missing from your Web3 resume: 

• Profile- Often left out but an essential part of the resume. This is your chance to make the best first impression and the chance to tell your future employer who you are.
• Work experience- Conventionally, this section comes first after the profile. Always include a brief description of your past responsibilities. Focus on what you've achieved. Use active language and specific numbers. 
• Education-While a good education will add value to your resume, it's not the most important section on your CV. If you're aiming for a Web3 position, place the education towards the end of your resume. Work experience, portfolio, and skills should come first. 
• Skills- The most crucial part of your Web3 resume. List relevant skills — for instance, if you're a developer, this will be the coding languages you're familiar with. And, of course, blockchain skills. 
• Certificates and courses- Show that you've attended certification courses and learned about Web3. 
• Portfolio link- The portfolio is a vital part of your job application if you're a developer.

Final tip: When you list skills on your resume, it's always great to include quantifiable data. Be specific and demonstrate an ability to translate your skills into numbers. Here, charts come into picture (and look good).
