Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Promises vs Practices

 


During recent election campaign in Bihar, Tejaswi Yadav promised 10 lakh jobs ( if voted to power )

BJP leaders went one better and promised 19 lakh jobs

Shri Nawab Malik ( Labour and Skills Development Minister – Maharashtra ) believes in “ practicing “

Context :

1.48 lakh people have found jobs during lockdown through govt portal 

Extract :

The website, run by the Labour Department, connects companies and young men and women, arranging meetings, interviews and negotiations online

 

It also held EMPLOYMENT FAIRS during lockdown

 

Since January this year, 1.48 lakh people have been hired through the site. In October alone 35,000 people got jobs

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{  Read this in context of following FAQ on the govt website :

 

   (16) When one can receive the Interview Call Letter after registration?

   One has to apply as per the Educational Qualification, Experience, Age, etc. registered on the web portal.

   Sending the Interview Call Letter / Written Exam Admit Card and the further recruitment process shall be done

   by the Employer. }

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Highlighting various efforts by the department to reach out to jobseekers, Malik said that a series of JOB FAIRS were held recently..

 

“ The FAIRS were conducted ONLINE with prior information provided to the public, ONLINE INTERVIEWS were conducted to connect  Jobseekers and various companies “, Malik said

 

The website has schedule for upcoming FAIRS . Minister urged the companies to register on the site

 

===================================================


On searching through The website , I found explicit mention of 4 upcoming ONLINE JOB FAIRS , during this month, showing following number of VACANCIES :

Ø  Kolhapur………………. 40

Ø  Raigadh-Alibag……..NIL

Ø  Sindhudurg……………NIL

Ø  Nashik…………………. 250 ( - all from DATAMATICS )

 

The website , also lists following :

Ø  Total Job Fairs…………………………. 804

Ø  Active Job Fairs……………………………. 8

Ø  Placements……………………….5,96,085

Ø  Total Jobseekers……………..16,41,181

Ø  Total Employers……………..     16,067

Ø  Total Vacancies……………… 24,56,205

===================================================

Congratulations , Shri Nawab Malik [contact@nawabmalik.com ],

 

 You have “ walked – the – talk “ once again .

 

For your FIRST initiative to solve the Unemployment problem, I sent to you, following e-mail :

 

Congratulations, Shri Ajit Pawar / Shri Nawab Malik………………..[ 06 Mar 2020 ]

 

Considering that there are hundreds of Job Portals in India , claiming to have millions of registered jobseekers and thousands of employers who have posted lakhs of vacancies , one would wonder :


“ Can job portals go beyond enabling ,

Ø  Employers to post VACANCIES

Ø  Jobseeker to search suitable jobs and Apply Online  ?

 

  Can job portals be transformed to become VIRTUAL JOB FAIRS  where,

 

Ø  Thousands of Recruiters can conduct Online Interviews ( Skype- Zoom ) of an equal number of Jobseekers  SIMULTANEOUSLY , occupying thousands of VIRTUAL INTERVIEW CABINS, automatically / dynamically created on the Job Portal  ? ( no limit on number of virtual interview cabins )

 

Ø  Employers send out Interview Call Invites ( giving Date-Time Schedules to each candidate )

 

Ø  Candidates accept / reject “ Interview Invites “

 

Ø  Recruiters fill-in Interview Assessment Forms and issue Appointment Letters , clearly stating whether the job calls for physical presence of the selected candidate at the employers physical office premises , OR that the candidate will need to “ work from home “ or “ work from anywhere

 

Ø  Candidates return “ appointment acceptance letters “

In brief, other than “ joining “, can the entire RECRUITMENT PROCESS ( end – to – end ), be made ONLINE ?

 

===================================================

This is possible. For a pandemic ravaged India, this innovation is essential
