India is one country that has an abundance of Human capital, we just need to use it wisely. We need to make sure that our youth is properly trained and informed before they enter the market. The founder of Delhi-based WeLoveHiring has similar views and has launched the startup with the intention of improving the workforce of our country by creating a symbiotic environment for both the employers and the job seekers. This will not only be a big help to the recruitment industry but is a huge step in making India the world's fastest-growing economy as well.
THE IDEA
WeLoveHiring is a SaaS (software-as-a-service) based recruitment and training platform that works on the pay-per-use model. It offers features including webinars, Live interactive forum, SMS alert, ongoing performance evaluation, ongoing certifications, among others, on various topics to promote continuous professional development.
It was launched in 2015, with the aim of capturing this void in the job market and helping the employers find the right fit for their company. A lot of industries today are not aware of the right hiring practices and end up either over hiring or hiring the wrong people, both of which become a liability in the future.They aim at providing the Next Generation Recruitment Experience. The startup works both ways, the also help job seekers, by finding the right workplace for them based on their skill set and qualifications.
