Why Great Candidates Still Don't Get Hired Bridging The Gap Between Talent And Recruiters

About this Webinar

Hiring is broken! And both sides feel it.

Recruiters are overwhelmed, screening hundreds of profiles against checklists that don't always capture what truly makes someone great. Candidates are frustrated, doing everything "right" and still not making it through. The result? Companies miss out on talent that could've moved the needle, and candidates lose confidence in a process that feels like a black box.

In this live session, we sit down with Pulkit Phatale, Head of Talent Acquisition at Bluechip Infocorp Pvt. Ltd., who has spent nearly a decade on both sides of this problem. From niche IT hiring and campus recruitment to building TA teams and driving talent strategy at scale. He brings a rare, practitioner's lens to a conversation the industry desperately needs.

In this Webinar, we will:

• Decode why strong candidates get rejected: What's really happening at the screening stage and why the best fit often doesn't make the shortlist
• Expose the gaps in how JDs are written: How vague or unrealistic job descriptions quietly filter out qualified people before the conversation even starts
• Understand the recruiter's reality: Volume pressure, stakeholder expectations, and why speed-to-fill often wins over quality-of-hire
• Flip the lens on candidates: What strong candidates consistently get wrong about positioning, communication, and reading the room
• Unpack "culture fit" and hidden biases: The unspoken filters that shape hiring decisions and how to make them more intentional
• Build better hiring conversations: What TA leaders can do right now to close the gap between great talent and great hires
