Hello guys, welcome to today's video. So, today’s video is going to be very interesting because we will talk about fake hiring. So, what is fake hiring basically and why does it happen? I will explain all of this to you in this video. But before that, it is important for you to understand how fake hiring is impacting your life and how it is affecting your job search as well. You need to learn that right now.

First, it's fine, so I will tell you everything about fake hiring. This will help you in your job search, so you need to watch the entire video, and you will get very valuable information from it. Basically, what is fake hiring? Look, you must have seen that you apply to many places. Let's say you found a job posting and applied to it. You apply to many places, but often you don't receive any response from them.

है तो आप लोग भी कंफ्यूज होते हैं कि यार, ये ऐसा क्यों हो रहा है? रिस्पांस हमें क्यों नहीं मिल रहा है? पहली चीज तो ये। और दूसरी चीज, आपने देखा होगा कि जब आपको रिस्पांस मिलता भी है या फिर आप इंटरव्यू देते हैं, तो उस इंटरव्यू में आपका सिलेक्शन नहीं होता है। तो जब आपका सिलेक्शन नहीं होता है, तो आपको खुद में सेल्फ डाउट हो जाता है। आपको लगता है कि आप में कुछ कमी थी, आपने सही से प्रिपेयर नहीं किया, आप अच्छे नहीं हैं। तो इस तरह के आप...

आपके मन में खुद ही सेल्फ डाउट आ जाते हैं। ये आजकल बहुत सारे बच्चों के साथ हो रहा है, क्योंकि इस फेक हायरिंग के कारण। कंपनी वास्तव में हायरिंग नहीं कर रही है; यह सिर्फ एक फेक हायरिंग है। इस फेक हायरिंग की वजह से बच्चों को लगता है कि यह उनकी गलती है, जबकि उन्हें नहीं पता होता कि कंपनी ने यह फेक हायरिंग की थी। बच्चों को यह समझ में नहीं आता कि इसे कैसे टैकल करना है, इसलिए उन्हें लगता है कि उन्हें कुछ और भी सीखना चाहिए।

करना चाहिए, साथ में तो इस वो इसमें ना एक ट्यूटोरियल है। हेल में बोल दो या अपनी प्रिपरेशन हेल में चले जाते हैं, और वह एक ट्रैप में फंस जाते हैं। उनको खुद नहीं समझ में आता कि गलती कहां पर हो रही है, जबकि रियलिटी में गलती उन बच्चों की नहीं होती। उन्होंने अच्छा प्रिपेयर किया होता है, इंटरव्यू भी अच्छा देते हैं कई बार, लेकिन सिर्फ इसलिए कि वह फेक हायरिंग थी, इसलिए उनका सिलेक्शन नहीं हो पाता। ठीक है, तो अब मैं बताऊंगा कि फेक हायरिंग होती क्यों है। 

You should do it together, so there is no tutorial in this. You either go to the preparation help or get trapped in it. They don’t even realize where the mistake is happening, while in reality, the mistake is not with those kids. They have prepared well, and they often give good interviews, but just because it was a fake hiring, they are not selected. Okay, now I will explain why fake hiring occurs.

You might ask what benefit this brings to the company, so let me explain what the advantages are. There are many reasons; it's not just one reason that leads a company to engage in fake hiring. There are multiple reasons, and I will explain each of these reasons one by one in this video. The first trick of fake hiring is mostly practiced by B2C companies, which operate in the B2C type of business. For those who are not aware,

Let me explain what B2C and B2B businesses are. There are two types of business models: one is B2B and the other is B2C. In B2B, a business deals with another business; for example, their client is another business. In B2C, the client is a normal end user, an individual customer.

जब हम बी टू बी की बात करते हैं, तो जैसे मान लीजिए कि कोई कंपनी कार के मुख्य स्पेयर पार्ट्स बनाती है। ठीक है, कार के स्पेयर पार्ट्स। अब मैं तो खुद से खरीदने नहीं जाऊंगा, उसका जो ग्राहक होगा, वो कौन होगा? मारुति.com को माल बेचना होता है, यह बी टू सी होता है। जैसे पारलेजी बिस्किट है, मान लीजिए, तो वो ग्राहक को बेचना है। उन्हें सीधे बेचना है, तो यह बी टू सी बिजनेस है। ठीक है, जैसे अमेज़न का बी टू सी बिजनेस है, मान लीजिए, उन्हें लोगों को बेचना है, जो चीजें ई-कॉमर्स कंपनियों की हैं। तो इस तरह बी टू सी।

होता है, तो जो पहली वाली स्ट्रेटेजी होती है, वो मुख्य रूप से बी टू सी वाली कंपनियां ही करती हैं। मैं आपको बताता हूं कैसे। जैसे आपके पास एक कंपनी है, मोइ ले lo.com। ठीक है, आपकी कंपनी है जैसे शादी.com, नौकरी.com। इसी तरह, आपकी भी मान लीजिए एक मोबाइल ले lo.com है। अब आपको उसकी ब्रांडिंग करनी है, लेकिन आपकी 20 लोगों की टीम है और आपको नहीं पता कि आप मार्केट में अवेयरनेस कैसे करेंगे। ठीक है, तो आप क्या करेंगे? आप किसी कॉलेज में जाएंगे और उस कॉलेज में जाकर...

हम हमारी कंपनी मोइlelo.com के बारे में बात करना चाहते हैं। हम इस कंपनी में आपके कॉलेज से हायरिंग करना चाहते हैं। कॉलेज वाले इससे खुश हो जाएंगे। जाहिर है, ऐसे समय में अगर कोई भी कंपनी हायरिंग के लिए आएगी, तो कॉलेज वाले खुशी-खुशी कहेंगे, हाँ सर, कृपया आइए और हमारे यहाँ से हायरिंग कर लीजिए। वे पहले एक महीने पहले ही कह देंगे कि बच्चों को सूचित कर दें कि हायरिंग के लिए इंटरव्यू इतनी तारीख को होगा।

We will have a hiring drive, and we will take two children, okay? We need to hire two engineers. So, what will happen is that there will be publicity throughout the college. Everyone will start discussing that they should take a mobile phone, and that our company is coming to our college. We should start preparing for this; everyone will get involved in the preparation. Those kids will go and tell their parents about our company.

Next month, mobile.com is coming, and we are preparing for it. They will also call their cousins to tell them, Hey, we need to get ready. They will inform their friend circle that mobile.com is coming, and we need to prepare. It's all serious now; mobile.com will get a lot of publicity. Many annoying people will promote it here and there, and in my friend circle, we will talk about mobile.com.

आ रही है, सब आपस में बताएंगे। मतलब, इस तरह करके फ्री की पब्लिसिटी हो जाएगी। फिर जब वो कंपनी आएगी इंटरव्यू लेने के लिए, ठीक है? वो कंपनी आई, उस कंपनी ने सब बच्चों का इंटरव्यू लिया। फिर जो यहां पर जो डीएसए वाला सीन है, जो मैंने डीएसए वीडियो में बताया था, डीएसए की तरह, फिर वो एक टफ सा डीएसए निकाल देंगे। डीएसए के सवाल दे देंगे, टफ टफ से, उसमें कोई क्लियर नहीं कर पाएगा। एक-दो बच्चे क्लियर करेंगे, फाइनल जो उनके...

Finally, while filtering out candidates, we will take two children and tell them that we are offering them a job as data analysts. The kids will be happy, and we will provide them with a package of three lakhs. The children will be pleased with that. Similarly, they will go to two or three more colleges, picking one child from one college and two from another. In this way, they will take students from multiple colleges. By doing this, they will create a strong publicity for themselves.

Then it's fine, they got publicity. They took those children as data analysts, whatever they would provide in the company, they gave it under the name of data entry. They said, You need to bring this data from here; you have to create graphs from it, you need to create this and that from this library. There are many tasks related to data. Alright, they have hired them, and now they will make them do any work. If you do that work, it's fine; if not, you can leave. You are free to go.

No good to go, you can leave the company, but they will make you work according to their own wishes. However, their publicity will be so significant in college that they will tell new students about it. They will say that this college had mobile.com last year, and this year we will see which one comes. So, mobile.com gets quite a good amount of publicity. These small startups use this method. This is one way to do it.

जो उसके थ्रू, वो मतलब अपनी पब्लिसिटी के लिए करती है। छोटी कंपनियाँ, ये मुख्यतः मोबाइल पर केंद्रित हैं और ये मुख्य रूप से कॉलेज में टारगेट करती हैं। ठीक है, आपने इसलिए देखा होगा कि कॉलेज में क्या होता है। कॉलेज में आपने देखा, कई बार छोटी-छोटी कंपनियाँ आती हैं और अनजान, मतलब गुमनाम कंपनियाँ बिल्कुल। और वो एक बच्चा, दो बच्चे स्टूडेंट ले लेती हैं। वो यही करने के लिए आते हैं, पब्लिसिटी करने के लिए। फिर अगली बार जब भी आप जाओगे, अगर कभी भी आपने एक साल के बाद मान लो मोबाइल।

You will have to sell. When you use a mobile phone, whether it's a second-hand mobile or you're purchasing a second-hand mobile, that mobile site will appear at the top of your search results. This will create a mindset for you that, yes, this is a real company and a good company; I know this company. This is the main reason for their self-marketing.

दिस, this is the one reason why fake hiring is done, okay? Mainly, they just want to do their publicity. Hiring is the secondary reason for them, alright? Now, let's move on to the second point. The second point is that there are some companies, not just in India but worldwide, that measure the growth of any company through hiring. If a company is repeatedly hiring...

कर रही है, तो इसका मतलब है कि उस कंपनी का विकास हो रहा है। ठीक है, तो ये माना जाता है कि कंपनी मुनाफा कमा रही है और अपने व्यवसाय का विस्तार कर रही है। अगर भर्ती हो रही है, तो यह सामान्यतः माना जाता है। तो कंपनियाँ क्या करती हैं? वे फर्जी नौकरी की पोस्टिंग डालती रहती हैं। मान लो, मैं कोई कंपनी हूँ, जो एक सेवा आधारित कंपनी है, तो मैं क्या करूंगा? मैं पोस्ट करूंगा कि मुझे पाइथन के लोगों की जरूरत है। अभी, हाय गाइज, मैं एक...

अगर छह महीने के बाद कोई निवेशक आया या छह महीने के बाद कोई ग्राहक आया, तो जिस ग्राहक को हम संपर्क करेंगे, वह काम के लिए भविष्य में भी अपने तरीके से जांच करेगा। ग्राहक पहले उनकी लिंक्डइन पर जाएगा और देखेगा कि भाई, किस तरह की कंपनी है, जिनके साथ हम व्यापार करने वाले हैं, जिन्हें हम काम देने वाले हैं। वह जाकर उनकी प्रोफाइल चेक करेगा, तो उसे दिखेगा, हाँ यार, ये तो हायरिंग कर रहे हैं, इनको तो मतलब काम मिल रहा है।

They have work, they are fine, so the new clients or new customers will feel that this company is on a growth track, that they have been hiring for so long, which means their business is expanding and people want to work with them. This creates a positive aura. The second reason for fake hiring is that sometimes HR unnecessarily posts job openings because they need to show in the market that we are still alive.

There are people who need to maintain their appearance, so they also engage in fake hiring. You might think that this company is genuinely hiring. The second thing is that it is important to satisfy the current employees through fake hiring. For example, if a company hasn't been hiring for a long time, the current employees may develop a negative perspective, thinking, Why isn't there any hiring?

रुकी हुई है, ना? तो कंपनी का मतलब यह है कि जो इकोनॉमी है, वह सही नहीं चल रही है। तो जो करंट एंप्लॉयीज हैं, उन्हें लगता है कि कंपनी की सिचुएशन फाइनेंशियली सही नहीं है। इसलिए वे भी छोड़ने के चक्कर में रहते हैं। लेकिन अगर हायरिंग नियमित रूप से होती रहती है, तो उन्हें लगता है कि कंपनी एक अच्छे फाइनेंशियल स्टेट में है। इससे उनमें भी कॉन्फिडेंस रहता है। प्लस, उन्हें यह भी लगता है कि दूसरे लोग भी आ रहे हैं, तो हमें कंपनी में रिप्लेस किया जा सकता है।

सकती है क्योंकि दूसरे लोग कभी भी आकर हमारी जगह ले सकते हैं, तो वे भी थोड़ा अलर्ट रहते हैं। ठीक है, तो जो एक हेल्दी एटमॉस्फियर रहता है कंपनी के अंदर, अगर हायरिंग चलती रहती है, तो उन्हें लगता है कि हमारे लिए और हमारे टीम मेंबर्स के लिए नए लोग आएंगे, जो कि हमारा वर्कलोड भी कम कर सकते हैं। उन्हें लगता है कि हम सही कंपनी में हैं, सही जगह पर हैं, और इस कंपनी में ग्रोथ है। जो ये हायरिंग चल रही है, वो हमारी ठीक है।

बिल्कुल, स्टॉप हो जाती है। तो जो करंट एम्प्लॉयीज हैं, उनमें भी थोड़ी नकारात्मक भावनाएं विकसित होने लगती हैं। अगर लंबे समय तक हायरिंग नहीं होती, तो उन्हें लगता है कि कंपनी सही नहीं है, और वे खुद छोड़कर जाने के चक्कर में हो जाते हैं। फिर ठीक है। तो यह एक कारण है। एक और कारण यह भी होता है कि जो फर्जी हायरिंग पोस्ट की जाती हैं, वो अपने इंटरनल एम्प्लॉयीज को भी संतुष्ट करने के लिए होती हैं, कभी-कभी। ठीक है, उसके बाद अगला जो पॉइंट है।

कुछ लोग फेक हायरिंग पोस्ट डालते हैं अपनी लिंक्डइन प्रोफाइल को बूस्ट करने के लिए। जैसे मैंने डाल दिया कि, हे गाइज़, क्या आप मंक डेवलपमेंट के लिए हायर होना चाहते हैं? तो कृपया मुझे अपना सीवी इस ईमेल आईडी पर भेजें। और कुछ ठीक है। मैं एक पूरा पोस्ट डालूंगा और इसे अपने नेटवर्क में शेयर करूंगा। अगर कोई इस प्रोफाइल के लिए देख रहा है, तो मैं इतना लिख दूंगा कि जिसको चाहिए होगा, वो लिखेगा 'इंटरेस्टेड सर'।

When children write, they all share it. Suppose I have a relative or a friend who is also looking for a job change. What they will do is share it with him too, saying, Hey, look at this posting; you should apply for it, send your CV. If that post receives more comments and shares, then its profile reach will increase. This means that this is also a very sneaky trick that people use.

Nowadays, you may have noticed that people are using ChatGPT to write everything for them. They are conducting large-scale hiring, claiming they are doing this and that. After all this, you know what happens, right? That is again one reason. The next reason for fake hiring is scams. Many people have started running scams around this, saying that they are hiring and asking you to apply or do this or that. They specifically target new students. Then,

They ask for money in return, saying that if you want to have an interview, you need to pay, or if you want a backdoor entry, you need to pay. They do a lot of things like this, and basically, their business is to scam people. So, it's all fake posts; they set up fake companies. When you apply there, they will talk to you, saying that they will arrange your interview with this company, and you need to pay this much. Many students get caught in their trap.

I've seen a lot of children telling me that these are totally fake hiring opportunities. They ask you for money and try to scam you. This is also a reason why you see so many fake hiring posts. The next reason for fake hiring is data collection. Some companies, whose work involves data, are involved in this. Because, you see, data is very important in today's time. Some companies...

कुछ कंपनियां सर्वे करती हैं और डेटा संग्रहण का काम करती हैं। उनका काम यह होता है कि वे बड़े व्यवसायिक घरानों को अपना डेटा बेचती हैं और अन्य गतिविधियाँ करती हैं। वे आपका डेटा इकट्ठा करने के लिए पोस्टिंग डालती हैं, जिसमें आपसे कहा जाता है कि आप अपना सीवी इस प्रोफ़ाइल पर भेज दें। अब जब आपने सीवी भेजा, तो आपके सीवी में जैसे उदाहरण के लिए, मान लीजिए मुझे आपके 500 सीवी मिल गए हैं, या 1000 लोगों के।

I received the CVs. I posted that I am looking for an entry-level Mern stack developer job. If anyone needs a job, please send me your CVs. I will provide my email ID. Okay, I have received the email ID. Now, everyone has sent their CVs to that email ID. I have received many CVs, which is not surprising; they come in quickly. Within two days, I received 1000 CVs. I have the email IDs, I have the mobile numbers, and I have their details.

Their age group, which children belong to that age group, I know their educational background, and I know what their aspirations are. I know which courses they want to take. I will send that data to any institute that sells courses. Let's assume I have sent your CV along with the data of a thousand people. Now, they will message you, they will call you, and they will reach out to everyone.

We will conduct our course and provide training. We guarantee job placements. We will do this and that, alright? You all will approach them, and if even 10 or 20 of their children get caught in this, they will benefit. Those who sell CVs also get some money in return for a certain number of CVs. This is also a method of data collection. You all might find this strange, but this thing...

There are some reasons we see that a lot of fake hiring is happening in the market. Because of this, what happens is that you repeatedly see job postings, and when you apply, either you don't get any results because those jobs are posted just for show, or if you do get a reply, they don’t actually hire you. They have no intention of hiring; it’s all fake hiring.

Do you think there is a mistake in you, or that there is a deficiency in you, which leads to self-doubt? You feel like you should read something else, so you start reading more, but the same scenario happens again. This entire cycle continues, creating negative sentiments in children, and they become troubled. Alright, now we will discuss what the solution is. Look, the first thing about the solution is that...

If you ever face rejection, you should not fall into self-doubt. The market situation is currently poor, but on the day the market improves, everyone will get a job. This company, as I mentioned in the previous video, is toughening the interview level just because there are no jobs available right now. Once jobs become available and the market stabilizes, you will be able to secure a job with your knowledge. You all have a lot to offer.

आपको यह समझना होगा कि यह भी एक प्रक्रिया का हिस्सा है। आपको अपने आप को मजबूत रखना है और आगे बढ़ना है। अगर आप रिजेक्ट हो गए हैं, तो इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि आप सक्षम नहीं हैं। हर इंटरव्यू एक नया अनुभव है, और इससे आप सीख सकते हैं। खुद पर विश्वास रखें और अगली बार और बेहतर तैयारी करें।

You need to understand that these people were conducting fake hiring. You should treat it like a mock interview. Just assume that my mock interview took place, and it’s good for you because you get a free mock interview. You don’t have to pay anyone; it’s great if someone is providing a mock interview for free. It’s just practice for you, and there’s nothing wrong with that. So, give them a mock interview like this because we cannot disclose this right now.

Which company might actually be hiring? If I tell you, there are government websites like mccc.in where you can check for fake companies. You can see which companies are fake. However, sometimes even authentic companies that are real might be doing fake hiring. You can't read their minds to know whether they are being real or fake this time. So, you need to apply everywhere, but don't take it to heart.

आपको उस चीज़ को लगाना है, और अगर आपका चयन हो जाता है, तो यह बहुत अच्छी बात है। अगर चयन नहीं होता है, तो इसे एक मॉक इंटरव्यू मानकर चलें। मैंने मॉक इंटरव्यू दिया, यह फ्री में है, और अपनी लर्निंग को अपने पथ पर बनाए रखें। आपको अपने आपको डाइवर्ट नहीं करना है, न ही डिमोटिवेट होना है, और सेल्फ डाउट में नहीं जाना है। ठीक है, आपको अपने पथ पर चलना है, बस जो आपने पथ चुना है, जो भी एक टेक्स्ट टैग आपने चुना है।

All text tags are good; everyone will find a job in the text tags. Right now, you won't have any advantage because kids are saying, I can do Java, or I can switch to Python, or I can switch to JavaScript. Everyone is facing the same scenario. This recession is not specific to technology; it is based on the economy. So, the recession is equally affecting all technologies. All technologies are facing the same challenges.

So, you don't need to switch back and forth too much. Stick with the technology you currently have, and if it doesn't work out, you should accept that it was a fake hiring, and you just gave a free mock interview. That's all you need to understand. It's okay not to take this too seriously. Keep preparing yourself and continue applying for as many interviews as you can. Just keep trying; that's the only way for now.

If you have any doubts, you can ask in the comment section, okay? And if you liked the video, please share it in your group. I'll see you in the next video. Until then, bye-bye, see you!
