Bhavin Shah, founder and CIO of Sameeksha Capital, highlighted challenges in India's job market, sharing that despite receiving hundreds of applications for each position, few candidates follow through with the recruitment process.
Shah explained, "For every job we advertise, we get 100s of resumes. But if we ask people to fill a Google form, very few do so and most drop out." Further steps, such as tests and interviews, see similar drop-off rates.
His observations resonated with many recruiters, shedding light on the difficulties faced in hiring suitable candidates despite high unemployment rates in India.
