Contribution to the field

Facio Consulting Pvt Ltd is my own venture and it is a recruitment consultancy, where we provide manpower solutions to companies. We deal in major sectors like IT,ITES,Finance and Media. We are a team of professionals who come from a recruitment background and hence there is a competetive spirit.

As an entrepreneur, all major functions from Planning, staffing, recruiting and management were planned earlier and business profits and earnings were forecasted in advanc

Achieving Success:

Women need to come out loud when it comes to the corporate sector. Most women do not pursue their career as they take break for their personal lives. They need to understand the importance of dividing their times between house and work, women are mature and make good leaders incase they have focus

Accomplishments:

I joined my first company as a junior consultant and have risen to the level of a director- operations today. I have received several certificates and appreciation for my recruitment skills and have also received certificates for leadership skills

Current job Description:

I am doing the same job, however now i focus more of the experience for people who visit my organization. I also do better planning and execution of tasks as now i am able to devote more time, this being my own venture

Career Decisions:

I decided to stick to an organisation so long as the company was giving me the opportunity to learn and grow. I went along with the companies objectives to become a true professional. After i gained enough exposure i decided to pursue my own venture with all that i learnt over the years

Vision:

To make an organisation grow both in terms of expansion, people and business ethics.
I would also wish to have a global presence eventually and prove both internal and external employment to people specially when unemployment is one of the biggest problems in the country

Critical situation:

deciding to put everything at stake when i was in a well established job to venture out on my own

Challenges faced:

Attitude of men towards women is a definite problem. Being a whole sole leader men tend to look at it in surprise. At times people take things lightly considering that its only a women at the other end. I keep my professional life completely professional and look at men/women as professionals only

Essential qualities:

Patience, Perverseness, eye for detail, in depth knowledge, defining limits

After few years:

running a bigger set up with more employees and more offices....goes without saying that i would need employees to be happy working with me coz happy employees make happier organisations
