COVER STORY real tech savvy in this area. For example if a person has worked only on Airjet looms then he may not be suitable for mills working on other types of the looms. Hence in Weaving Industry the choice of person to be recruited has to be too specific unlike in garment industry where specification is given tight importance What basically a weaving industry looks into job profile as follows:1. What is his technical qualifications 2. Which types of machines the candidate worked on 3. How long the candidate has worked on specific machines 4.

5. What technical training and what are his innovations with relation to weaving the candidate has acquired
available and hence there it is difficult to specialise in all types of the technology of weaving and hence every candidate in weaving industry takes up specific specialization.

Hence dependence to recruit from consultant is in rise.
Conclusion
To recruit in weaving Industry one must understand the industry very well and also should understand the technical aspect of industry requirement without understanding these aspects it would not only difficult but impossible. Hence and recruitment consultant should be specialised in this particular industry.
As there are many type of weaving methods and machines
