A (not so) Novel Idea...

Over a few years I've noticed that for the guys, who got their first job through campus interviews, changing jobs is a nightmare of a thought. Since the initial struggle has never been there, like the effort of making a polished resume or giving an interview where you are on the recieving end, for these guys the outside world is an unknown entity. And then add inertia to this. Switching jobs becomes well nigh impossible.
For the benefit of these ppl, I guess there should be campus interviews in their respective companies. All those who wish to leave an organisation, should give their names to HR deptt. which in turn can invite other companies for Campus Interviews. Like good colleges, the placement rate for good organizations should be over 100%. With this assumption, one can safely say that there won't be any employees left who wanted to move but couldn't. The organization itself benefits in the sense that there won't be any employees stuck in its system who want to move but can't due to inertia and other factors. And the organization also stands to benefit in the sense that it too will have access to employees with good skill sets in other organizations who would like to move and it saves itself from consultants.
I like the transparency that is inherent in this idea. I never cease to amaze myself!!!

P.S. This is an underworked mind generating ideas and then falling in love with it. Absurd, nonsense or #$#%

i think then the companies will also be compared on the basis of how well their placement departments do rather than other factors, like colleges which have very little to offer in terms of quality education but have excellent placement departments

This seems to me a grand idea. Especially the saving on the consultancy front would be so much that they would be willing to get rid of the employees (who are not interested anyway in that company). Ankur why don't you give this in ESS.

Such companies may very well publish 'Placement Brochures' of interested employees and circulate them around. :)

I can imagine an ad in Times Accent .... "Our former employees are placed in companies like ...." ;)
