The secret to becoming a 'Purple Squirrel' is quite simple, actually. Last week, a TalentWorx recruiter was sourcing candidates for a client. One resume stood out: Ivy League education, top-tier certifications, and years of experience with cutting-edge AI. But that wasn't what made them special. Resumes are the cover of your professional story. They get your foot in the door, but they're often given way more credit than they deserve. Skills, education, and experience are just as important as everything else inherent in a candidate that makes them the right hire for the job. When asked about handling team conflicts, this candidate shared a story about adapting to sudden project changes and creating a framework based on unconventional ideas that is in effect till date, turning potential chaos into a growth opportunity. This sealed the deal. This insight alone was enough to validate they were the future-proof professional our client needed to meet. Hence, the 'purple squirrel'. So, the secret is… ding, ding, ding - Golden ticket in today's talent pool = Tech Prowess + Humanity Here is what seasoned recruiters know all too well: 1. Tech skills are the entry pass, not the VIP badge. We seek candidates who stay hungry, who learn new languages, who master emerging tools. But we know: Today's hot tech is tomorrow's old news. 2. Got uniquely human skills? That's the real differentiator. We look for: • Creativity to innovate beyond AI's capabilities • Empathy to build unbreakable team bonds • Critical thinking to navigate tomorrow's challenges Ultimately, candidates who shine are chameleons with a human core; they adapt and thrive. Balance your skill development. Try this: For every hour spent upskilling in tech, spend another honing a human skill. Some skills are not put on paper, but are still seen. #TalentWorxWonders #GetHired #InterviewTips #TalentAcquisition #FutureOfWork #PurpleSquirrelHunt

We wish you all the very best, Nirmal Sanjay! Your impact at TalentWorx has been truly inspiring, and we’re excited to see you take on this next chapter. Wishing you continued growth and success—onwards and upwards! 🎉

Resignations should be normalised, not penalised. I lost one of my awesome team members this month. Nirmal Sanjay after a stupendous performance at Talent Worx, decided to explore the other side of recruitment and join a corporate company. Hand on heart, Preetham & I were disappointed. But we also realized that Nirmal is young, and has to explore the world, find newer and tougher challenges, fail & succeed, and learn a lot more outside the purview of Talent Worx. We decided to meet f2f over few beers ( visible from the snap) & this is what I told him, "I hate to see you go out but am equally excited and happy for what you have achieved and what you can. Talent Worx will celebrate you even after you are gone as you have been a building block of this company" Why is it that when someone resigns, they are treated like a traitor? We must treat people well on their way in and out. Remember, how you handle departures speaks volumes about your company culture and leadership ethos. People aren't just resources. They are humans with dreams and ambitions. Supporting their journey, even when they are leaving, will build a solid reputation that will always attract talent.

🙋♀️🙋♂️ Raise your hand if you answered a work call this weekend! Australia just made it ILLEGAL for your boss to call you after hours... New "right to disconnect" laws mean Aussie workers can now ignore any work messages or calls outside of business hours - no punishment! But, if an employer violates this law, the company could face fines upto $63K. Despite the effort to restore work-life balance in an "always on" world, it is being strongly opposed in Australia’s business community. Do you think we need such laws in India? Or does your boss respect your personal time? #righttoconnect #worklifebalance #hrtrends #futureofwork

How people work and how companies hire has undergone a tremendous shift over the last few years. The best person for the job probably isn't applying. And we've found it to be true more often than not. The talent landscape is evolving faster than traditional hiring methods can keep up. The question is: are you evolving with it? #TalentWorxWonders #StrategicHiring #TalentAcquisition #BusinessGrowth #RecruitmentStrategy #FutureOfWork
