As a recruiter , your job is not to please everybody that applies for your enterprise , but focusing on quality and ensuring the creamy layer for enterprise amongst the pool !Too many people unnecessarily add to the cost of the firm . Their salary , their perks, compensations will yield nothing except for hiked Ac, Mc and Tc . You don’t want to kill your newly born enterprise with crowd . Do you ?
