Tom Reaoch 00:00:06 I'm Tom Reaoch, promoting successful business experts. Connecting people throughout the world from my podcast studio in Brazil. Joining us today from Mumbai, India, Rashesh Doshi, Director of Talent Corner HR Services, helping companies "Recruit. Right". So Rashesh will AI overtake the recruitment industry?
Rashesh Doshi 00:00:31 So Tom, that's an interesting question. And my answer to that is no, I am not of the opinion that AI is going to take over the recruitment industry. yes, it will make our jobs more sweeter, is what I can tell you. you know, a recruiter, and I've been one for the last 21 years. Plus, what we like to do is we like to talk to people, right? We like to connect with people. we like to understand more about their aspirations. we'd like to understand about how we can find them. The right fit. It, you know, and get the right fit for our clients. And I think a lot of our time as recruiters was involved in menial and repetitive tasks, which now I is able to do, thus allowing us to, you know, focus on what we actually like to do.
Rashesh Doshi 00:01:23 So no, I don't think I will overtake recruitment, but it will only make our jobs more sweeter.
Tom Reaoch 00:01:30 And to your point of clients, your clients are corporations wanting to find human resources or or do you also speak to individual people?
Rashesh Doshi 00:01:40 My clients are actually corporations looking to find talent for their organization, of course. On the other hand, our stakeholders are also candidates, but we don't do any commercial transactions with the candidates.
Tom Reaoch 00:01:52 But through the networking, you're always looking to meet people. That can be a basis for hiring for the corporations that you represent, right?
Rashesh Doshi 00:02:00 Absolutely, absolutely.
Tom Reaoch 00:02:02 And then to the point of businesses between people or amongst people, then you're getting to know the person and finding the fit is your center of expertise.
Rashesh Doshi 00:02:13 Yes. So our basic intent is to try and understand what our client is looking out for and then find the right talent for them. So it does involve, looking for a cultural fit. It does involve understanding the aspirations and the technical fit of the candidate. And of course, then placing them at the client's office.
Tom Reaoch 00:02:37 Well, I don't want to underestimate the part of technical fit, but also I see, your specialist in the leadership and trust building, because the the practical technical side, that could be some of that could be solved by AI, Correct. But leadership and trust building and those skills. That's eye to eye, right?
Rashesh Doshi 00:03:01 Absolutely. That's that's one of the big reasons I believe that AI won't be able to, you know, take a substantial part of our jobs because these things require empathy. These things require a lot of, conversations with people. These these things require us to read between the lines and that I don't think I can overtake. That's something that only humans can bring to the table. Right?
Tom Reaoch 00:03:28 Well, more and more, there seem to be more lines to have between. and you really have to get to that, let's say the soft side of understanding.
Rashesh Doshi 00:03:38 Correct.
Tom Reaoch 00:03:39 Now, your clients, your corporations, are they all over or are they just Indian companies? Are they global corporations?
Rashesh Doshi 00:03:46 So they are all companies that doing business in India or desiring to do business in India.
Rashesh Doshi 00:03:51 So we have a lot of multinational corporations which are having their offices and businesses in India. many of them actually, what we call the global captive centers who are based in the US, but they are actually having a lot of talent, which is based in their offices in India. so technically speaking, while we do our business in India, we're actually serving quite a bit of the global requirement of talent.
Tom Reaoch 00:04:17 And that's across all types of corporations. We have, you know, different economic focuses of financial, pharmaceutical, manufacturing. So you cover all those bases?
Rashesh Doshi 00:04:28 Absolutely. We have teams which take care of all of these, the the searching. We take care of all of that. We, in fact, have a team size of more than 250 talented people, and they take care of different industries.
Tom Reaoch 00:04:42 So any corporation here specifically from Brazil. So Brazilian corporations interested in creating or establishing, contact or an organization, in, in India. You would be the guy to call.
