Recruitment Herd is a term coined by Management Guru Vishnu Ganrau Kartik which is related with progressive hiring in companies. Initially 2X candidates are hired and kept on training for One Month. The best ones are immediately given active role, whereas 50% candidates after one month of training are given notice that their service would be terminated after six months.
This keeps candidates under immense pressure, and after four months the best ones are again hired. Now the remaining candidates are again given an option –either leave company after 3 months (as per notice period) or undergo training for next six months. This time no notice period is served.
At the end of seven months –all unfit candidates are terminated and last batch of candidates are selected for junior position.
The people who were selected in first month are given top management position in Company; the one who made after four months are given middle-management position; and who made after seven months are given junior management position.
The companies adopting Recruitment Herd policy are: Moftware LLC, Habsons, Applect (Now acquired by Naukri.com, Aptara Corporation, Newslink Services Etc)
The underlying principles of Recruitment Herd is © Kalkie Integrated Solutions Pvt Ltd, and have strong repercussions related to rigorous regime training that hired candidates have to go through.
The best practices include free meals, spiritual music, reiki music and meditation, team building and strategy games.

When multiple recruiters are competing to fill the same job, it can create a sense of desperation and a race to the bottom. Recruiters may be more likely to overlook red flags and push candidates into roles that are a poor fit, simply to be the one who makes the placement. As a result, both the employer and the candidate may end up unhappy, and the company may experience high turnover and difficulty retaining talent. Additionally, the perception of the company and the job role can be negatively impacted, making it even more difficult to attract top talent in the future. The lack of a fee for the recruiters may be seen as a short-term savings, but in the long run, it could end up costing the company much more in terms of lost productivity and a damaged reputation.

The gamble starts at yes

(1) When you get an email or LinkedIn message from a recruiter who implies he/she is retained by a company to recruit for a job, but in fact he/she is submitting unsolicited candidates for a role.
(2) The opposite of an in-house recruiter / retained search.
(2) The opposite of an in-house recruiter / retained search.
Out-house recruiter: "Hi, I'm writing since you'd be great for an analyst role I'm trying to fill." Me: "Is this a retained search?" Out-house recruiter: "No." Me: "No thanks" and then I recommend a colleague I hate and I hope will take a different job, if by some miracle the out-house recruiter is able to place the candidate.
