Robotics, Web development, Networking, Mobile applications industry attended to
identify their right candidate..!
~ More than 1000 students
from 18 colleges from across Salem Region participated in the FLAG 2015 to find
their suitable job..!
FLAG 2015 offered by EmployabilityBridge in association CII held
it’s first event for this year today at Narasu’s Sarathy Institute of
Technology with overwhelming response from students and companies. FLAG 2015
received response from over 1000 students while leading companies made over 117
offers and shortlisted a few students to next level interviews.
The Salem FLAG 2015 had participation of companies from
multiple industries including IT, robotics, web development, networking and
mobile applications development. The companies were hiring for openings in
cities across India.
Milagrow, A&T Video Networks, Headrun, Divum, Baabte and a
leading IT company were the companies that participated and they were enthused
by the response from colleges and students for the FLAG 2015. Handing over the
offers to the selected candidate the participated companies said FLAG by
Employability Bridge is a one stop-shop for our recruitments. It also
communicates that good candidates were spread across and not just only in well
established institutions.
Commenting on the program Emmanuel Justus, CEO, Employability
Bridge said that “FLAG is a series
of intelligent graduate hiring events offered by Employability Bridge in association
with CII to ease the hiring process for the leading corporate and they were
able to meet students from 18-20 colleges in tier II and tier III city colleges
today. We were delighted to see the eligible candidates get access to
opportunities with some of the India’s leading companies. We appreciate the
interest by the companies and colleges for FLAG.”
“70%
of the colleges in India are located in tier II and tier III cities. Few institutions
in bigger cities have access to corporate for placements. While the others have
minimal or no access with the corporate for placement. This restricts the right
opportunity for the right candidate merely for a reason he/she is from smaller
cities. EmployabilityBridge addresses this issue by aggregating colleges and
corporate.” he added.
Mr. Mohan, CII Chairman, Salem said “Salem and nearby regions
are known for its quality education. The region has many colleges with good
infrastructure facilities and gives out many technically qualified candidates
to the society every year. But due to lack of awareness both among the students
on job availability and among the companies about the institutions the good
opportunities were missed. But events like FLAG play an important role in
bridging the gap and empowering the students.”
Ambalavanan, CTO, EmployabilityBridge
said “EmployabilityBridge plays a critical pivotal role in the entire job
ecosystem by exposing students with opportunities available across multiple
industries – IT, Manufacturing, Engineering, Servicing, ITES, Automotive,
Electronics etc. These opportunities are not only available with MNC’s but also
with mid size companies, SME’s, startup etc. Pre-counseling and processes
before meeting the companies by FLAG helps the students to identify their
skills and get good opportunity.”
B Nitish Harihar, Pro Chairman,
Narasu’s Sarathy Institute of Technology said that “NSIT has been associated
with EmployabilityBridge for the last three years and proud to host the first FLAG
for 2015. FLAG has given the students from rural institutions access to leading
companies. We are happy to have hosted students from colleges in the Salem
region to participate in the FLAG. I wish more corporate should take part in
the upcoming FLAG events to widen the opportunities.”
HR heads of the companies participated said that “companies
are looking for candidates with technical knowledge and other employable
skill-sets. Geography is not a restriction. Corporate prefer going to well
established colleges as the probability of getting the right candidates are
more. But this should not restrict the opportunities to the right candidates
from the tier-2/tier-3 city colleges. Forum like FLAG eases the process to
identify the right candidates with the criteria companies looking for at one
place and saves cost and time.”
Saravanan, a student from a college in Salem said “I was
apprehensive about job after studies. But I am glad I got an offer through
FLAG. FLAG is a boon for students like me studying in colleges from smaller
cities with limited access to companies beyond our locality.”
EmployabilityBridge will hold its next FLAG event in Chennai on 26th
September at Prathyusha Institute Of Technology And Management.
