A Profound Exploration Resulting in Success
Decon is one of the few recruiters who has been in the market even before internet and cell phones ever entered the Indian market. Since there was no comfort of wireless communication as companies enjoy today, Decon would go out in the field where they have gained an extensive geographical knowledge and also enhanced their persuasion skills. With almost four decades of experience in this industry, DeconJobs understand the importance of knowing the client’s company, their culture, their people & leadership, and matching these with candidates who would fit the role perfectly.

The company also helps conduct psychometric assessments not just at the personal level but also in terms of the candidate’s attitude, the way of thinking and personal and professional ambitions. Decon also helps the candidate to understand the company structure & power dynamics.
Priyank adds, “We believe that for the candidate to perform his best in the organization, he needs to understand his role & the company thoroughly. Understanding factors such as stability, integrity, right compensation & incentives are some of the key areas where we help & advise our clients.”
Future Endeavors
Prospect of executive search is in using a combination of personal touch and technology to source the right candidate for the client. As the world becomes smaller, and the accessibility of candidates for corporates increases, executive search firms can stay relevant only if they offer their headhunting expertise with a deeper understanding of the client’s needs and the candidate, making sure that there is a perfect match for the job seeker and the employer. DeconJobs have faith in continuing to do and be the best at what they have repeatedly been doing for the last 37 years, which is to provide this industry with the perfect talent for the job.
