I am an IT recruiter working on certain niche profiles and I'm not getting suitable candidates.

Kindly advise as to what should I do.

Why don't you use online portals such as naukri.com, monster.com, ..........

Many a times we do not get suitable resumes on the portals also. Hence what to do at that time?????

Dear Jasmine,

I have already used all the portals other than that any other option u can suggest.

Try creating a database of companies to headhunt from and get candidates from there..

I agree with sujay, why don't you take a list of companies from the technical people and get into headhunting.

Dear Sujay i have done headhunting also anything more.

Why don't you check up on google.com or some sites which offer free resume search.

Dear Zainab,

Why dont u try orkut. There r many communities specially for IT profiles.

Dear Jasmine,

Can you tell me somemore sites where we get free resume search.

yes. google.com..can serve you free resumes...

just need to proper search...then only can get free resumes..........

If you have noticed even Naukri.com has free resumes but Ms.Zainab & Ms.Radhika, the question here is "Not getting suitable candidates for niche profiles"

Headhunting is one major tact used to source candidates.

SIMPLE WAY IS TO SEARCH ON ALL FREE JOB PORTALS...

Sourcing is a difficult area these days and if the requirement is specific and precise then it is all the more difficult.
You can use job portals and headhunting. Maybe these tactics will help you out.

Why don't you use the "Employee Referral"

Hey Rimpy......first tell me r u a recruiter....

If yes, then the person who recruited you is DUMB....

B'coz if you didnt know how to use a job portal....

Plz i request you to leave the JOB.

Lollz.. yea

The best way is to maintain your account on sites like Linkedin. Make good contacts there. Having such an account with wide and good network could be very beneficiary at such times.
You are able to see all the details of 1st degree contacts..like work-ex details,former and present company,role,recommendations if any and a lot more. Join groups which are related your requirements. You could even post your job requirement.With time build a strong network. Note : don't be dormant in such sites...let all know you are alive.
Thanks
