It all started at 4 A.M.
It all started at 4 A.M.
He was juggled from one room to another
Like a ball
Or like a bottle
Though suited-booted
With hands, legs and a face
Each room, hunters waiting for him
Eating, drinking, flaunting, competitive hunters
Some calm and composed, while some aggressive
Discussions- IPL, survival game, forest, ships
No where related, but called process
Selected ones went for interview rounds
He gave interviews, some good ones and some bad
While others were getting selected one by one
There were people like him, not hunted by anyone
And time passed by, but to no good
It was 8 PM now
Finally he was killed and sold
Those two months were still five months away
Yes, he was sold to an IT organization
With a dream stipend he dreamt of
It was the best movie of his life
In the fourteen hours of selection
He saw every emotion possible
Happiness, tears, anger, frustration
It had its curves when it was at peak
And when it was slow
And when it was slow
It kept him puzzled
Why so rush,
Where is the logic
It is recruitment or
Is it an animal fair?
Brains can only come up with such a no-brainer concept
Salute to the discoverer who must be a HR
The day ended and
Five months later…
It started with a one day orientation program in Mumbai
Where he learnt about the business
And how this is the best organization he can dream of
HR came; sales came and came the pizzas
Equipped with laptops, data cards and other details
He was sent to Bangalore
Bangalore was beautiful
And organization’s campus was “Just Superb”
23 acres, lush green, 50+ bird species, zero waste
Lovable, adorable, soothing it was to his heart and soul
A cubicle was made his den for the next two months
And he met two bosses-North and South
North was stern and ruling
And did not liked him at all
Because he was honest to put his opinion
This according to North was not the corporate way
To put things across the table
He hated the openness and so said fake open-door policy
He wondered about theory in practice and theory in use?
South was the boss to look for, a fatherly figure
Lucky enough, South was his project guide
South headed recruitment
And so he became a part of a wonderful team
Called “The Recruiters”
A fun loving, caring and energetic team
Looking for quality project,
He got a project on “quality of hire”
An upcoming concept in HR analytics
And strategic HR,
A new concept, not explored much
A challenge and an opportunity is what he saw
To explore the concept,
He talked across organization, across borders and across industries
He made surveys, came up with a model
Ran trial runs and did number crunching
Suggested recommendations and made final presentation
Awarded certificate of exemplary work
Yes, He enjoyed the work, enjoyed the life
He learnt from people around
And learnt from South
Whose experience was like gold
And he heard carefully to learn the tricks of trade
Apart from work, he was part of movie making,
Dance sessions, obvious parties and SPL
Yes, he was sold for Rs. 1200 for this IPL based cricket game
So less this time, but fun it was
Fun, friends and future
He got all three F’s there
Luckily enough, the ball which was juggled
In the roulette of recruitment
Landed into a safe place
Smile, smile and smile
And it will be 4 AM when it will all start again.
Good luck, bad luck this time, who knows?
-He, him and himself J
