You probably don't realise how mentally disappointing young people in Nigeria are until you have something to do with recruitment. How these guys want good paying jobs without developing their human capital. I was to fill a role and it's like i have seen it all. Is this Laziness or Ignorance? 1 Like |

Certain aspects of recruitment process and interviews in this country are quite useless, meaningless and uncalled for... Interviews should go beyond grammar and suites..... 21 Likes 3 Shares |

What is the aim of this thread again?  Have you ever thought maybe just maybe you are not doing enough to attract the right applicants to apply for the role you intend filling? There are numerous good grauates in this country as there are average ones, you just need to know where to look. Secondly, it is not really smart of you judging the capability of an entire population's young graduates from the few who sent you an application. After all, perception is subjective. I'd wager if you posted your CV here many of us would consider your "human capital" disappointing, only difference would be that we won't open an unnecessary thread on nairaland about it. 17 Likes 1 Share |

I kind of agree with the OP, I was in the job market until recently and decided to share vacancies I see here to some groups. Sometimes I get DM from job seekers seeking for help towards their cause and I usually proceed to know more about them. It has been disappointed so far, many don't know how to look for jobs, how to prepare for these jobs, talk less about having a career plan and proactive actions towards developing themselves. It's saddening. Olamsoh: 3 Likes |

There's no perfect candidate out there especially when it has to do with fresh graduate. It is part of the recruiters responsibility to develop the intending employee to what he or she wanted especially when the candidate has the potential. 1 Like |

Jmk9292: intersting...how will you add value to a country if recruiters can not test your ability? human capital is more than CV |
| Re: Is This Laziness Or Ignorance? by Nobody: 10:43am On Jun 22, 2019 |
Shukusheka: you are ignorant..you think human capital is all about CV alone, it is about adding value to a firm, your creativity, your ideas and time..the purpose of every firm is to find employees that will make more cash for them using their ideas. |
| Re: Is This Laziness Or Ignorance? by Nobody: 10:52am On Jun 22, 2019 |
Olamsoh: i think both jobseekers and employers are to be blaim, many jobseekers think having a certificate is all but human capital is more than having certificate another stuff is, when jobseekers hears the salary being paid, he gets disappointed and unmotivated to improve himself, the reality is many job seeker apply for jobs to fulfill their physiological need of survival 2 Likes |

lilwetdick:You are more ignorant. How do you judge an applicant's human capital if not by what he has on his/her CV as well as interviewing him or her. All that bull about adding value and creativity won't amount to nothing if there is no avenue to find the right candidate. 2 Likes |
| Re: Is This Laziness Or Ignorance? by Nobody: 11:39am On Jun 22, 2019 |
Shukusheka: let be educate you.. there are thousands of people without certificate or cv who have added more growth to an organisations than millions of educated graduates with CV, anyway, your cv is just for your soft skills and hard skills...your human capital is the idea, creativity, experience,you have, no interview can judge an applicant on his human capital...interviews mostly are just to know if you have the ability to work in an organisation, the human capital is what values are you adding to the company growth. Human capital is the stock of habits, knowledge, social and personality attributes (including creativity) embodied in the ability to perform labor so as to produce economic value. Human capital is unique and differs from any other capital. It is needed for companies to achieve goals, develop and remain innovative. |

lilwetdick:You can judge an applicant's human capital by asking the right questions during interviews and even by merely looking at his CV, forget all this balderdash you just went to copy and paste from Wikipedia. An applicant's level of experience is right there on his CV, if you need further validation, you ask ask him questions pertaining to what kind of experience you desire during an interview. An applicants level of creativity can be assessed by case study. You can judge how creative they are by how they tackled the problem and by what solution they proffered to the case study. There might be one or two outliers, regardless, the success rate is quite high. Professionals have been doing this for ages. My point by the way is why is Op here maligning young graduates of being unemployable when he is not looking for the right candidate in the right place. There are a thousand and one good graduates in this country, you just need to know where to look for them and the right expectation of them. 2 Likes |

Shukusheka: so going to wikipedia is wrong according to you) you cant judge an applicant human capital by his CV and interview alone especially when people lie on them and also act during interviews like actors, you judge human capital by the amount of value a candidate bring to the company, it is evaluation and review, you can judge, maybe we are wrong on how we do interview here but i can tell you, the growth of every organisation depends on the practical skills, knowledge and experience a worke bring to the company 1 Like |

One thing we should all be aware of is that one cannot determine performance through interview. At best interviews just reveal potential to perform. It is your response that will help an interviewer predict if you can do the job or not Jmk9292: |

For intelligent people that gamble or make investments, you are aware that you don't just throw your money in. You check some facts before placing your money in any vehicle. Interviews are predictions and good recruiters always predict right Shukusheka: |
