The Indian Employment Industry has always been bereft of reliable data and has never afforded accurate data for a variety of reasons. This is because the industry is and has remained very scattered in terms of :-
Spanned over a large geographical area.
Lack of adequate and proper registrations with the appropriate government bodies.
An organized sector complemented by a very strong unorganised sector.
Consequently even from the government's point of view, capturing and mining this data, across the sectors has always been a great ordeal.
The size of the Indian Recruitment industry is estimated to be Rs16, 970 crores. The world is integrating and has become a smaller place to work which results in complex, multi-cultural environment which ultimately leads to global challenges. This development has lead to Recruitment and HR industry to continuously evolve and their roles are becoming more critical. It is imperative that every HR / Recruitment professional needs to be abreast with latest developments and trends within the industry.
Hence Executive Recruiters Association (ERA) has started an important initiative and tied up with Ink Business Media, an event management company to organise various discussion forums, seminars and conferences where the industry experts and the recruitment fraternity can address each other and share their experiences on a common platform.
