Episode 15: Helping Job Seekers Succeed with Vaishali Saxena of Coforge
In this episode of the Talent Acquisition Leaders podcast, host Ryan Dull chats with Vaishali Saxena, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at Coforge, about her career path shift from HR to talent acquisition, and how she finds TA to be much more interesting.
Vaishali lays out the process she developed when she began her current role at Coforge, including how she brought the historically outsourced recruitment process entirely in-house, and how that resulted in savings for the company.
She gives Ryan some tips on how she manages to further save money for the company by increasing margins in the recruitment and hiring process. Her methods reduce costs while still giving the client what they need in the role she is filling.
She goes on to give wise advice many talent recruiters overlook, which is to always give constructive feedback to candidates, even if you’re not going to hire them. She says that in her experience taking those few minutes with a job candidate can build trust and cause the job seeker to remember you. This small but important action can end up being beneficial to both parties in the future.
