Advice to Senior Management – Recruitment process needs to be structured, there is need for a baseline of the process. Go the extra mile, visit Universities and hook up candidates there. Again make sure that the interviews test ability of someone to solve a problem rather than ability to memorize or having done something repeatedly.
