Many students, from the different fields of study, when applying for jobs wonder what are the recruiters basically looking for. The answer is whichever field you belong to, some qualities that the recruiters look for remain the same, which are described below:
Potential Candidates
Competence:
The first and foremost quality that all recruiters look for is if the candidate is competent enough to handle the responsibilities or not. If they deem you incompetent, you may very well assume that you will not be able to secure the job offer as no manager wants an incompetent trainee/ worker working under his/her control.
Intelligence:
The most common trait that recruiters will be looking for is intelligence. An intelligent candidate, not only academically excellent, but one who is street smart as well, is an ideal candidate for any company. You can demonstrate your intelligence by answering the questions precisely and accurately and also by asking important questions.
Leadership skills:
Many organizations look for effective leaders because the work is done in teams. The ability to take charge and responsibility is a highly wanted quality when it comes to what qualities are desired by the potential employers.
Ability to make the decisions:
In the interview or an exercise, you will be judged on the basis of how you form your decisions. Moreover, the recruiters will also be judging your ability to think on your feet and making tough decisions in critical and stress full situations.
Basically, companies want a sound professional who is a well rounded and groomed individual that can help their business to grow. If you are that individual, you will be hired without any doubt!
