The author has put her extraordinary journey in a very humble write-up. It definitely builds a strong ground about the details afterwards. The macro and micro concepts about recruitment process are explained very well.
As recruitment is the largest function under the HR umbrella of activities, I recommend every budding HR and recruitment professional to read this book.
It’s also a great read for college students pursuing MBA HR to know 1 key function in all its practicality.
And, I loved the quotes 🙂

Tales of a Professional Journey
In dreams she soars, with passion’s flame, A book she penned, to share her name.
Her daughter’s voice, so pure and true, “Write your book Ma, your future too.”
With parent’s love, and husband’s cheer, Her path is fearless, her goal is clear.
Compassionate heart, and a leader’s mind, In recruitment world, she’s one of a kind.
Understanding deep, her knowledge vast, With simple words, she spells each cast.
Grateful for the love, support so grand, She stands tall, with pen in hand.
– Chetan Indap

“Hired” simplifies the hiring process and provides a comprehensive guide on how to find the best candidates by aligning the organization’s needs with the skills and experiences of potential hires. Some specific concepts that have been beneficial are Boolean Logic, Passive Talent Pool, Candidate Persona, and the creation, maintenance, and utilization of existing databases. The author uses simple language, making it a useful after-read reference for sourcing and action points. This book is not only for the recruiter but also for the job seekers. Active job seekers get a sneak peek at what a recruiter is looking for which can help them professionalize their approach for job opportunities. One of the most intriguing but out-of-the-box examples is when the author – Ms. Parul Sharma compares the maintenance of platforms for strong employer brands to a decision to watch a movie based on the influence of moviegoers’ reviews. You will connect to that instantly. There are many more such correlations… Stay hooked and pick up your copy today and read to gain insights on ” Hired – The art of finding and recruiting talent”.

This book is a really a well written masterpiece by a talented professional and author. Its a gem for job seekers. It gives you a clear picture how everything we learn or experience in our life can become a lesson for future and professional life. This book will help you understand the entire recruitment cycle and can help you to overcome the obstacles of your job seeking period. Sometimes we are well qualified and skilled but still can’t find a fulfilling job or we remain stuck in a unwanted, unenjoyable position. But this book is going to give you a new perspective towards recruitment process.
Will not say more. Just go for it. Buy it, read it and let it help you grow.
Congratulations Parul Sharma for creating a masterpiece.

The book compares recruitment to matchmaking, focusing on not just skills, but the right fit. I loved the use of Google Trends to evaluate job titles and how breaking down job descriptions makes them more engaging.
