For most organizations today, Talent Acquisition is synonym to Recruitment. But the term has much more layers of complexity than what most organizations understand today.
Gone are the days when a handful of the progressive heads of Talent Acquisition implemented a simple Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) model and claim victory. The talent market especially post-recession has taken on a new dimension altogether. If organizations have to grow rapidly their need for innovative solutions has become urgent and seeking out-of-the-box solutions to seemingly insatiable business demand for talent, has become critical.

The most surprising fact is that though most IT/ITeS companies leverage the use of technology in every other business process practiced today, recruitment is one space that still waits to see the light of a truly end-to-end automated process. Either the will is not there or simply put, there seems to be a serious vacuum of thought-leadership. It is this challenge that Sanjay Shelvankar, Ashish Tiwari and Sharon George hope to address with their entrepreneurial venture ScaleneWorks.

Founded in April 2010, Bangalore headquartered ScaleneWorks is an end-to-end Talent Acquisition Solutions organization that with its two decades of IT Corporate expertise in Technology Consulting and Talent Acquisition areas looks to usher in a fundamental shift in the way Talent Acquisition is practiced in today’s ultra-demanding business environs.

The company not only advises its customers on where their Talent Acquisition practices are today, but also recommends & implements individually tailored, viable solutions to make them state-of-the-art. “We engage with organizations, find the flaw in the process and consult them on the best possible solution to rectify it. But more than consulting, our long term goal is to transform the entire Talent Acquisition process by leveraging it on a technology platform and automating it,” says Sanjay Shelvankar, Founder and CEO, ScaleneWorks. From transforming the Talent Acquisiton process to consolidating all the vendors under one umbrella to helping choose the right tool and technology, ScaleneWorks takes care of an organization’s needs end to end.
