Dear Saumya,

You yourself have said it.The Executive search firms as well as the blog recruitments are generally used to hire top level executives.However it is imp. to note that it is used in conjunction with other methods of recruitment to arrive at a more precise assessment.Web based recruitments are also becoming very popular these days.

It is also imp. to mention here about the latest or new hiring model which many may not know about , the HMS or Hiring gateway system or Hiring mgt. system.This again is web based recruitment & completely replaces the manual system with a software that allows mgrs. to locate requisitions as well as automatically upload resumes.This software also allows recruiters to use knowledge based technologies to create statements of qualifications required or that which individuals have ......and which could be matched to job openings for suitability , in addition to screening Q's that are to be asked to prospectives etc. and many other new characterstics.It is a highly advanced system in efficiency ,it is said to be developed over a period of 15 years with several thousands of competencies to back it.With this, recruiters can distinguish qualitative differences as also draw logical inferences and understand resume's as they exactly mean.It is expensive but over a long period proves cost-effective and reduces the hiring cycle short by 48% there by saving a lot of time.

WARM REGARDS,
Yasmin
