“We have seen an uptick of about 20-25 per cent in direct job applications and the referral scheme programme on the website, which allows people to refer their friends who have been impacted by the layoffs,” says Anshuman Das, CEO and co-founder of Careernet.
To build morale and help recruits work on their technical skills, these portals are now spearheading newer initiatives. For instance, Shine.com has been conducting coding hackathons where candidates can showcase their skills and get noticed by potential employers.
Careernet has been hosting practice exams on its coding website that job seekers can take to see where they stand and polish their skills. The portal is also helping tweak resumes to better suit the demands of the current job market; assisting in interview preparation; and guiding recruits to position themselves more effectively.
