The proverbial "catch of the day”
for the Career Access clients now is the
middle level leader - an experienced middle
level manager who is ready to move up
the corporate ladder. The demand for employees
skilled enough to oversee and manage workers
has reached a very high level and the
recruiters are constantly & aggressively
looking for experienced talent. Thanks
to a booming economy in India the trend
will only get stronger in the coming months.
Rising attrition levels at middle levels
have alarmed the recruiters and they are
finally looking at the compensation levels
and the high stress levels at the middle
levels. There is a growing realization
that without a strong second line of leaders,
no organization can grow fast enough and
take advantage of the current boom. In
fact missing the high growth curve at
this point of time can prove very costly
and can significantly erode bottom lines.
Imagine an Organization losing its regional
sales managers or the competitors hiring
better managers. Even a 10% shift in market
shares in such a situation can create
chaos. Loss of a key middle level manager
can result in a lot of demoralization
down to the front line levels as it is
primarily the middle level managers who
are in direct touch with the front line
executives and the retailers.
The main reason for mid level managers
to leave jobs is a non supportive work
culture in terms of empowerment and growth
opportunities. Security and money are
no longer the main issues. Career Access
appreciates this significant trend and
focuses on finding leaders at middle levels
who would not only prove to be empowering
bosses at middle levels but can inspire
teams and also act as a filter to a kiss
up and kick down approach. Each candidate
is screened through an internationally
tried and tested process which includes
a detailed referral check to ensure compatibility
of the Candidate with the client organization
to significantly reduce the chances of
mishire.
