Few challenges which I face daily:

1. Understanding the technical job specs and explaining it to the passive candidates. Sometimes specs are too technical or for some niche skill and usually passive candidates have tendency to overdo what we call as "interview the interviewer".So when we are trying to sell to such passive candidates for niche tech jobs we don't have answer to all their queries. So it becomes very tricky to excite them further.

2. It is very challenging to sell an opportunity to a candidates who holds better salary than our budget or better benefits package.

3. It is very difficult sometimes to read candidate's mind who are yet to join. So sometimes how much ever we have kept them warm and engaged still we see last minute decline on the joining date.

4. Sometimes it is disheartening to see some critical resources whom we had hired with great difficulty leaving organization in short period due to some expectation mismatch. Again starting such search becomes very challenging assuming that we had already tapped the entire market to hire earlier resource.
