This increases the strength of candidates applying for bank jobs in comparison to other jobs. Candidates in strength of lakhs apply for a single post offered by a bank, and only a few limited seats are available. This makes the process of recruitment very tough for the recruiters. They have to scrutinize each selected candidate very deeply and further refine them for the interview session. This is a time consuming process and often leads to inaccurate results. Also, since the vacancy needs to be filled immediately, they have to be fast with their recruitment often leading to low quality recruitment. rnCWE, therefore is an escape to all the problems faced during recruitment.
