• Build and develop relevant competencies among students for placements

The placement process is designed to ensure that both the recruiter and the student are able to spend quality time with each other and arrive at satisfying decisions. The Career Advancement Services (CAS) office at the ISB works towards ensuring a smooth placement process.

To optimise the recruiting experience, CAS follows a five-step process:

• Online Registration
• Pre-Placement Talks
• Job postings, Applications (Expression of Interest - EOI or Letter of intent and Resume) and Shortlists
• Interviews
• Job Offers and Acceptances

Online Registration:

This is an ideal opportunity for companies to share information about their organisations with students and to enthuse them to explore career options.

• Time slots for PPT vary by day of the week:
  
  Monday to Friday - from 19:30 hrs to 23:00 hrs
  Saturday and Sunday - from 11:00 hrs to 17:30 hrs
   
• ISB gives equal opportunity to all recruiters. Each PPT therefore is allotted 45 minutes:
  • 30 minutes for presentation
  • and 15 minutes to respond to students’ queries
     
• To register a date and time for PPT, please log on to our placement website www.isb.edu/placement.
   
• The CAS Office will arrange for facilities (audio-visual and support services) that may be needed for the presentation. Companies are requested to let CAS know about their requirements in advance

• Job postings can be uploaded by the recruiter on the ISB placement website
   
• Students will respond by submitting their applications (Expression of Interest-EOI or Letter of intent and Resume) according to the company’s deadlines
   
• Companies are requested to forward shortlist to the CAS office at least 7 Days before the interview date. The CAS office will inform the short listed students
   
• Blue Tag job posting: A job posting which has all the required information (Designation, Work Location, Salary – Fixed & variable and job description) without any ambiguity, is considered as a Blue Tag Job Posting. If the job posting is tagged then the student applying to such Job Posting cannot negotiate on the offer made

Pre- Interview Process

Policy for senior students
Senior students with 8 or more years of work experience needs a separate process, as they may have to go through multiple rounds of detailed interviews, considering their seniority. The placement process for these students will start from November 2011 onwards.

Job Offers and Acceptance policy:

• The ISB allows a student to receive TWO offers or accept ONE offer. Thereafter, the student exits the placement process
   
• To facilitate logistics for international companies / teams, who cannot come in during the regular placement schedule starting on January 19, 2012, CAS allows them to complete the process earlier. The dates could be fixed in consultation with CAS. Such firms will have to hand over sealed Final Interview Forms (FIF) & offers to CAS and these offers will be opened only at the end of the first day of Placements (January 22, 2012)
   
• Companies are requested to process the Visa requirements and other travel formalities, for students who may have to attend an interview in any of the client’s international/domestic locations
   
• All companies are requested to hand over the filled in FIF ‘Final Interview Form’ to CAS, on completion of the process and to send the Formal Offer Letter within seven days, to the CAS Office
  
  
  
  • FINAL INTERVIEW FORM (FIF): To make an offer to a student, companies need to complete the Final Interview Form (FIF)
     
  • Part 01 - At the end of the final interview, if company representatives are considering making an offer to the student, they have to fill in the FIF with details of offer which is then signed by the student. Part 01 of the FIF is not applicable for the Blue Tag Job postings
     
  • Part 02 - On deciding to make an offer, the offer confirmation portion is completed by the recruiter and then the Final Interview Form is handed over to the Career Advancement Services Office in a sealed envelope.
     
• CAS will broadcast the student status on the placement website at the end of each placement day. All companies are advised to check the status of their shortlisted students on the website
   
• Students are required to confirm their Acceptance/Rejection of job offers according to the company’s deadline mentioned in the FIF. The earliest offer acceptance deadline that a recruiter can ask for is the end of the next placement day
   
• All companies are also requested to keep the CAS office informed for all the hires/recruitment they do within 3 months from the date of Graduation for the current class students. This is to keep a check on the offer reneging by the students
