Conversation between
Recruiter and the candidate
Preparing:
First of all before going to start any task we should have a prior preparation pattern so, likewise in
recruitment as well .Every recruiter must have a clear understanding of job roles and
responsibilities which is provided by respective client(Direct client)/implementation partner
Recruiter should have an idea about the client profile/domain.
Sourcing:
Yeah !! This comes the first and foremost a recruiter will have direct encounter with the job roles and
his skills of sourcing .Sourcing is defined as getting/grabbing/finding/fetching resumes with
respective to the job roles.
Screening:
As the name itself reveals that a recruiter should screen the candidate’s level of expertise in their
respective field , his/her work authorization status/ willing to relocate / Are they looking for relocate
etc.., many factors
Selecting:
If all the above steps goes well then the recruiter is supposed to submit the candidate's resume to
his account manager/Team lead or higher authorities ..then they will share the resume with the
client , if everything is on good path i.e (interviews, BGC ) client will hire him.
Hiring:
Right after the Selecting process here comes the hiring which is mainly depends on negotiation and
job offer. As soon as the client finds his/her best fit for the role they should convey the message by
call or by sending the offer letter that they are going to hire him if not there is a chance of backing
off the offer by the candidate.
On boarding:
As this is the last step of the recruitment cycle but it’s most important one of all above because
there might be chances even after the client offer the best salary/pay rates along with the benefits
candidates might not be interested to take the offer because of their personal issues/sudden plans
etc.., so every step of the recruitment life cycle is crucial .

US Tax Terms
Tax Terms plays a key role in US job market / USIT Recruitment so in-order to have good understanding about
US recruitment ,every recruiter must have knowledge about the US Tax Terms .
There are three (3) Tax Terms which are generally used in US Job market.
W2
C2C
1099
W2
Under this Tax Term, if you are working under any Company then that Company or Employer will pay all the
Taxes
H1B are not allowed to work on W2 if they are in agreement with other employer but they are transferring their
Visa then they are allowed t work on W2. W2 Candidates will be some basic benefits by their employer
C2C :
C2C is an agreement between two Corporations and under this Tax Term your company/corporation is
responsible for your Taxes.
Example:
You are an employee of company - X (So you are under payroll of company -X) but you are working for company -
Y, so in that case, there will be a C2C agreement between company - X & company - Y
Company - Y is not responsible for you taxes. Only your company (Company - X) will pay all the taxes.

Boolean Search
Boolean Search is a way to organise your search using a combination of keywords and the 3 main
Boolean operators (AND, OR and NOT), to produce more accurate and more relevant results for
your candidate searches on LinkedIn and beyond.
1. AND
2. OR
3. NOT
4. ( )
5. “ ”
By applying these appropriately, along with the keywords you wish to consider, you can create a
huge range of search operations. There is no limit to how often you can use any of these elements in
a search, so you can create very specific search strings, which will save you a lot of time in filtering
the results.
Recruitment AND HR
We are asking the LinkedIn database to search for all of the people who include both the word
“recruitment” and the word “HR” on their LinkedIn profile.
The more criteria we add using the AND operator, the less people we will find with our search,
because by using AND we are narrowing our search. However, the people we do find from our
search will be more relevant, as they will possess both of those skills.
The OR Operator
In this example, one group of people have the keyword “Recruitment” in their LinkedIn profile, while
the other have the keyword “Recruiting”. Both words mean exactly the same thing to you and I and
anyone using either of the two terms to describe their job function or skillset on LinkedIn possessing
exactly the same skillset, but to an electronic database they are totally separate terms. When we use
the Boolean string:
Recruitment OR Recruiting
We are asking the database to search for candidates who include either of the two terms in their
LinkedIn profile, or both terms simultaneously.
Therefore, by using OR we are broadening/expanding our search to encompass profiles that have
one result or the other or both.
Using OR enables us to find hidden talent e.g. people who have expressed their skills and
experience in a different way than you might normally search e.g. banking OR bank OR finance OR
financial, because by using OR we are broadening our search.
Recruitment NOT HR
We are asking the database to search for candidates who have the word “Recruitment” in their
profile, but to exclude any candidates that also have the word “HR” in their profile and those who
just have the word “HR” in their profile.
Using NOT enables us to remove false positives from our candidate searches, as by using NOT we
are filtering our search and removing irrelevant results:
Brackets ()
When using Boolean search, there is no way to determine how the computer will solve our equation.
This means that in order to get the most relevant result for us, we have to use something called
parentheses to tell the computer what to solve first. This is where using brackets comes into our
Boolean search.
6
FOLLOW US: USITRECRUIT.COM
Using brackets is essential for writing complex search strings, but it can be their application that
causes the most confusion amongst recruiters. Essentially, a clause within brackets is given priority
over other elements around it. For example, if I was given the following search:
talent OR hr AND recruitment
Do I mean to say I want to find someone who has either the keyword “talent” or the keyword “HR” on
their profile, and has the word “recruitment” too? Or do I mean that they have to have “talent” or the
combination of “HR” and “recruitment”? You see, the absence of brackets makes it impossible for the
database to know what you mean. Watch how the meaning changes when you add brackets.
In the following example, I have told the database that I need to find someone who has either “talent”
or “HR” or both, and that they also need to have “recruitment”:
(talent OR hr) AND recruitment
But in the following example, I have told the database that I need to find someone who has “talent” or
a combination of “recruitment” and “HR”:
talent OR (hr AND recruitment)
The most common place that brackets are applied by recruiters is in the use of OR strings.
Basically, if you’ve written OR somewhere in your search, think about where the brackets will go
because their placement will affect how the computer solves your Boolean
search query, which will affect search results you receive back.
Quotations “”
When using Boolean search, if the keyword you’re searching for needs to be considered as a whole
word e.g. Software Engineer , then it must be enclosed within quotation marks in your Boolean
search string.
If not, the database will consider the space between the two words to be an AND and will search the
database for two terms – Software AND Engineer – and not what you want to search for which is the
exact phrase “Software Engineer”.
In other words, you must use quotations wherever you have two or more words as a phrase in your
Boolean search string that you know for certain should be right beside one another like “Information
Technology” or “Human Resources”, as quotations define a number of words as one exact term.

AI Recruitment
Technology has made many changes to each and every industry out there including Recruitment ,
as we see Recruitment industry has gone through many changes but term AI (Artificial intelligence)
has going to change the whole process of recruitment.
What is AI?
AI is abbreviated as Artificial intelligence, as it defined as the part of modern science which will
learn from human actions and acts accordingly, Normally which is a computer which has learning,
planning , executing ,problem solving skills.
AI has entered in to all the industries like Pharma, Chemical, Media , now is is the time of
recruitment industry to make the work more easier and flexible to source , screen , sending emails,
make calls etc..,
How AI Works?
IBM was the company first introduced the term AI (Artificial industry), Normally AI will works with
human intelligence , going to details where it is a outcome of deep learning and machine learning ,
which inculcates the actions of humans in no time and execute it.
The basic responsibilities of recruiter are to source , screen , call , email , job posting, Now-a-days
each recruiter is following a basic formula to get his submission done i.e. as soon a the requirement
comes to his inbox , for the first few seconds he spends his time in the preparation of Job template ,
then few minutes in Posting job , sending bulk emails / Email merges etc.., but when it is coming to AI
(Artificial Intelligence) it is a computer machine which will learn actions from recruiter like posting
job , calling to candidates , Souring resumes , screening candidates will make all these actions
automatically without any much time .

Advantages of AI in recruitment industry
Helps to source qualified resumes
Automate the Recruitment (screening, calling)
Cost effective recruiting .
Helps to source qualified resumes
As soon as the recruiter hunt for the candidate for the job , the first thing which attracts the job
applicant is the job description which is shared by the recruiter, if the job description is not well
written and with minimal information , there might be the chances that candidates would reject the
job , but when the recruiter takes helps of AI tool called Textio.com , which will makes the job
description free of grammatical errors , revise the description with alternate words and with proper
sentence formation .
Recruiting Bot
Recruiting is a communication assistant which is similar to Alexa, Siri , Google NOW , Recent survey
showed out of 3 persons 2 persons are likely to interact with bots .
For example a job is posted on non AI based portal in which candidate need to go to bottom of the
post to apply for that , but if that is a AI based portal as soon as the candidates visits the posts AI
will suggest whether to apply or not to apply based o his resume and skills.
For the most part, Recruiters will get the job description from the clients end , which can make or
break the company’s search for talent. Problems arise when the job ad is not well written for a
technical description such as an Angular developer, for example. Unless you do some coding on the
side and have previous industry experience, chances are, you won’t know much about Angular.
If you take a look at this tweet, you’ll notice a candidate anonymously shaming a company for
putting out an ad requiring 8 years of Swift experience – a technology that has existed for merely 3
years. Errors such as these will do more damage than a mean tweet. They make the companies
hiring look incompetent, uninformed and downright careless about their hiring processes.

How to Screen and Ways of
Screening the candidates
Dear Recruiters ,
We have been facing problems while talking to candidates in- regard to screening
what questions to ask and how to get clear and exact answer , you are going to learn few such kind
of ways in the following article .

sure it matches with the client requirement )

What is I9 ?
Form I-9 is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for
employment in the United States.?
Form I-797A
The form with an A attached at the end of the I-797 can only be issued to people who are currently
staying in the United States and are changing their status to another one such as to an F1 or an H1
visa.
Basically, the A in the form means that the change of the person’s status has been approved,
signifying that the applicant is allowed to stay in the US and will also be able to continue to work in
the US. The I-797A always comes with an I-94 attached, indicating the status to stay is approved.
Form I-797B
The form with a B attached at the of the 1-797 is issued to all applicants that either has never been to
the US or those applicants whose status could not get approved. So what does it mean for you if
your status could not get approved? In this case, you are seen as a person qualified for the job you
applied for but you won’t be able to stay and work in the US because you are either currently not in
the US or you have committed some kind of immigration violation. An immigration violation can
indicate several different things. For instance, it can mean that your filing did not include sufficient
evidence to validate you can be legally employed. That is just one example – immigration violations
encompass a variety of acts committed by people who have not adhered to the proper immigration
laws of the country.
If this happens to you, you would have to leave the country, go back home, and apply for the Visa at
an American consulate from your home country. At the American consulate, you will have to do an
interview and submit additional information proving your case to live in the US. Whether you will be
able to go back to the US or not depends on the new evidence you provide during your interview at
the consulate.
Form I-797C
The I-797C form is only a copy of the already approved petition and is given to the applicant’s
employer for their reference file. The biggest difference between the I-797’S is that forms A and B are
given to applicants only and form C is given to the applicant’s employer.
In case you don’t receive the original notice of approval, you will be provided with a copy of the
original form.
Form C, apart from being handed out as a reference file for employers, can also be issued to
communicate receipt of payments, rejections of applications, transfer of files, fingerprint biometric,
interview and re-scheduled appointments, or to reopen cases.
What is I94?
The Arrival and Departure Record is the I-94, in either paper or electronic format, issued by a
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer to foreign visitors entering the United States.
What is SEVIS?
SEVIS stands for Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. It is a nationwide, Internet-
based system that the U.S. government uses to maintainaccurate and current information on non-
immigrant students (F and M visa), exchange visitors (J visa), and their dependents (F-2, M-2, and J-
2).
