LegaFin Jobs’ Post

Dear Ms Tejaswee Tripathy, I am a bit confused about recruitment of freshers. You are very kind hearted and offer jobs to freshers without any experience , knowledge and skill. You also said "Recruiters should always give a chance to freshers and shouldn’t always look for work experience. It is sad to see that recruiters neither reply nor give an opportunity to freshers. A lot of fresher candidates are ghosted by recruiters. " Then you reposted Neha Puri's post where she said "Then my co-panellist asked a few scenario-based questions regarding building financial models for startups and preparing Valuations for the deal-making process. I was shocked to see that the candidate backed with 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀, 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼, or understanding of the role. He was rejected, if you also feel that your degrees are enough for your career then you are wrong." Here your friend is rejecting freshers who do not have any knowledge . She is 'ghosting' freshers? And you reposted her post. So you support her which indicates that freshers are to be rejected , if they do not have some knowledge. And if they join your Rs 24,999 courses, they get knowledge and employable, I guess. PS: Anyway, freshers are innocent. 'Help' them to help 'ourselves' ? It works well!

State Bank of India is planning to onboard 12,000 freshers as probationary officers and associates in FY25, Business Today reports. And according to Chairman Dinesh Khara, 85% of these will be engineering graduates. The report further highlights that this is due to the banking sector’s increasing dependency on technology to engage customers. A low hiring rate in the IT sector is also contributing to this development. The young professionals will be first trained in banking operations and then channelled into business and IT roles depending on their aptitude, Khara says. The bank is planning to expand its reach by opening 300 branches in this financial year, compared to the 139 opened in FY24, Business Standard reports.

Today was really tough. I connected with someone on LinkedIn, and we had a great conversation. He mentioned that his HR would reach out to me. After ten days, the HR called, and we discussed salary expectations and other details. Despite my willingness to negotiate due to the valuable experience the role offered, I was told that my expectations were too high for a fresher. I had already sent my resume three times, and they were aware of my qualifications from the start. Shortly after, the same LinkedIn contact called me again. He updated me on the company and asked me to prepare a financial model, which I agreed to. However, just 15 minutes later, he called back to say they were looking for someone who had completed CFA Level 2 or had an MBA. When I raised this issue with him, he told me to be happy that they informed me beforehand and not after I had completed the modeling work. This response left me feeling even more disheartened and confused. I felt bad and questioned whether I should be upset or just move on. This experience highlighted the significant gap freshers face between their aspirations and industry expectations. A request to all the recruiters that we are freshers, we are just babies into this corporate world. Don't give us such an experience that will bother us for whole life #hiring #hiringprocess #employer #freshers #openforwork

FRESHER'S OR RISK TAKERS 1. Freshers bring fresh perspectives: With minimal experience comes a unique viewpoint unencumbered by industry norms, which can lead to innovative solutions and fresh ideas for your company's challenges. 2. Willingness to learn: Freshers are often eager to absorb knowledge and skills, making them adaptable to new tasks and technologies, which can be invaluable in fast-paced industries. 3. High energy and enthusiasm: Freshers tend to bring high levels of energy and enthusiasm to the workplace, which can be contagious and boost overall team morale. 4. Willing to take on challenges: Since they haven't yet been confined by limitations or fears of failure, freshers are often more willing to take on challenging projects or tasks, pushing boundaries and driving growth. 5. Tech-savvy: Growing up in the digital age, freshers are often well-versed in the latest technologies and social media trends, which can be advantageous for companies looking to stay ahead in the digital landscape. 6. Flexibility and adaptability: Freshers are generally more adaptable to change and open to trying new approaches, making them valuable assets in dynamic work environments where agility is key. 7. Cost-effective investment: Hiring freshers typically comes with lower salary expectations compared to experienced professionals, making them a cost-effective option for companies looking to expand their talent pool without breaking the bank.

During my initial days at one of the firms I worked with, I overheard a senior comment “We haven’t opened a training institute. We are not sitting here to train him”.   Apparently, he had interviewed a candidate who had mentioned the reason to join the company as “Have keen interest in banking and want to learn it while working in the role”.   And it makes me think, if all hiring manager starts to think the same way, nobody will hire freshers.   So, how will freshers enter the job market.   The hiring managers who make such comments should realize that they were once a fresher and a company had trusted them with a role.   For entry level roles, we need to do away with the obsession with prior work experience and instead trust freshers.   Work experience is not everything and there is nothing that cannot be learnt while working.

💼 Breaking Into Finance as a Fresher: A Challenging Journey 💼 As a finance fresher, it’s incredibly challenging to land a role at any Financial firms like the Big 4 Venture Capital, Private Equity funds, or MBBs, despite having self-taught experience in this dynamic market. 🎯 Many companies still adhere to conventional hiring rules that prioritize years of experience over the actual skills and knowledge that fresh talent brings to the table. 📊 But let’s face it, we are living in an advanced world where driven freshers often possess more updated knowledge than an average experienced professional. 🌍 The reality is that countless talented individuals with passion and expertise don’t get their CVs shortlisted just because they don’t tick the “experience” box. Even obtaining a referral is a battle when your CV lacks experience. Referrals are often based on the experience you’ve accumulated, and without it, breaking into top firms becomes an uphill struggle. 🚫 It’s time for organizations to rethink their approach and focus on skills, potential, and fresh perspectives, rather than just years of experience. Freshers: Don’t be disheartened. Keep pushing forward, upskilling, and showing the world what you’re capable of. 💡 What do you think? Should companies place more emphasis on skills and potential when hiring freshers? I'd love to hear your thoughts! #FinanceCareers #FreshersInFinance #BreakTheRules #SkillsOverExperience #Hiring #CareerGrowth #CapitalMarkets #FinanceFutures

Today even the front line jobs require industry ready freshers or Day Zero Professionals as we call them. This refers to the process of recruiting and selecting candidates who possess not only academic qualifications but also some exposure to practical skills, knowledge, and attributes needed to make a career in a specific industry. Employers seek individuals who can seamlessly integrate into the workplace, understand industry trends, and contribute immediately to the organization's goals. This approach emphasizes the importance of real-world experience, relevant certifications, and a practical understanding of industry tools and technologies. While all this may not be possible for a fresher just out of college, but recruiting through advanced tools and a simulated environment of training in product and practical skills by EasyRecruit Plus aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge acquired in educational institutions and the practical demands of the professional landscape, ensuring a smoother transition for candidates into the workforce. #hiring #recruitment #training #industryready #banking #tpos #college ANAND BHUSHAN sanju unni Abdul Nasir ShaikhAnup Sheth

Dear Hiring Teams, Why Do Freshers Get Overlooked? It's a common sight these days—job postings that require experience for roles that freshers are eager and capable of filling. But I ask, where are freshers supposed to gain this experience if every company is looking for seasoned candidates? At some point in time, every experienced professional started their career as a fresher, facing similar challenges and uncertainties. By always prioritizing experienced hires, are we closing the door on fresh talent that can bring fresh ideas, energy, and a new perspective? Companies today need agility and innovation to thrive, and freshers, with their adaptability and hunger to learn, can be part of that transformation. EdTech, finance, banking—every sector can benefit from giving opportunities to those just starting their professional journey. If given the chance, freshers can change the world. It's time we shift our mindset and start investing in the future by hiring freshers and nurturing their potential. Let's open doors, not close them. #HireFreshers #FreshTalent #EdTech #Finance #Banking #CareerBeginnings #FutureOfWork #OpportunityForAll #IndianJobMarket #TCS #Infosys #Wipro #HDFC #ICICIBank #AxisBank #Vedantu #Byjus #Unacademy #RelianceIndustries #AdaniGroup #Flipkart #Zomato #Paytm #Ola #OYO #Swiggy

"Dear Hiring Managers, While experience is valuable, it should not be the only measure of potential. Freshers bring a fresh perspective, eagerness to learn, and adaptability. Give us a chance to prove ourselves, and together, we can achieve great things. Breaking into the workforce as a fresher can be tough, but lack of experience shouldn't be a barrier to our potential. Our enthusiasm, fresh perspectives, and willingness to learn are valuable assets waiting to be recognized. Keep applying, keep learning, and remember, every expert was once a beginner. #bankingdomain #indusindbank #hdfcbank #axisbank #kotakmahindrabank #idfcbank #idfcfirstbank #privatesector #freshersvacancy #FresherPower 💪 #OpportunityAwaits #GiveFreshersAChance #PotentialOverExperience"
