Packed with insights, Vijay Sivaram - CEO of IT Staffing and Search & Recruitment, overseeing both India and Asia Pacific operations at Quess Corp - shared his knowledge on effective networking, where he went on to highlight the importance of improving one’s communication skills from a recruiter’s perspective. The session also touched upon areas relevant to young individuals joining the workforce in today’s world. “There are jobs that will always be automated and then there are those that will be created. In today’s world, there are a few qualities that organisations look at- 1) A blend of digital or tech knowledge which translates to understanding what happens behind the scenes. 2) The ability to communicate effectively, and 3) Finally, in today’s context, the ability to learn new things on the job,” he shared.
