Commenting on the program Emmanuel Justus, CEO,EmployabilityBridge
said that “FLAG is a series of intelligent graduate
hiring events offered by EmployabilityBridge in association with CII to ease
the hiring process for the leading corporate and enable them to meet students
from 121 different colleges at one point 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.”
“FLAG has brought significant opportunities to students from
Tier 2/ 3 colleges. This was made
possible with the advent of the FLAG model of aggregation. Students were
presented with opportunities in manufacturing, automotive and other core
engineering apart from the IT and ITES companies which they see the only
employment opportunity. FLAGs have been held in many smaller cities/towns like
Salem, Dindugal, Thiruvallur, Thiruchengodu, Poosaripatti, Kaniyur and Kannur
so far and provided corporate job access to the students from smaller
towns.
Until the colleges became a part
of FLAG they have seen their students get access to 10 companies but now it is
over 45companies. Hence increased the chances of getting placed” he added.
Ambalavanan, CTO, EmployabilityBridge said “EmployabilityBridge
plays a pivotal role in the entire job ecosystem by exposing students with
opportunities available across multiple industries – Manufacturing,
Engineering, Servicing, Automotive, IT, Robotics, Electronics etc. EmployabilityBridge
is an intelligent platform that enables smart hiring by companies. Our platform
allows the companies to post their vacancies and pre-select the eligible
students as per their criteria to meet. Thus the unique algorithm in our
platform eliminates the barricades in meeting the good students from smaller
towns and cities.”
HR heads of the companies participated said that “companies
are looking for candidates with technical knowledge and other employable
skill-sets along with long term retainable candidates. Geography is not a constraint.
Corporate prefer going to well established colleges as the probability of
getting the right candidates are more.
Forum like FLAG eases the process of
identifying the right candidates with the criteria that companies looking for
at one place; saving cost and time. Another key aspect is the retention factor
of the candidates from Tie-2/Tier-3 is much higher.”
Ilankumaran, a student from a college
in Thiruchengodu 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’snext FLAG is a
CSR FLAG to be held in July 2015 to provide opportunities for the differently
abled talents.
