【印度】TracxnLabs为雇佣平台ZenRadius注入启动资金
导语:总部设在印度班加罗尔的网络招聘平台ZenRadius帮助企业,特别是初创企业,通过职业社交网络网罗到合适的应聘者。
由Flipkart联合创始人及Anzy Careers的Deepak Singh 所共同支持的创业孵化器TraxcnLabs近日为招聘平台ZenRadius注入了一笔数额不详的启动资金。
这家由Nitesh Mishra,Arpit Kumar 及Alok Yadav所创办的班加罗尔网络招聘平台帮助企业,特别是初创企业,通过职业社交网络网罗到合适的应聘者。
世界间的联系已经变得越来越千丝万缕,在不久的将来,利用这些丰富的人际网络来网罗适宜的应聘者正在成为招聘的重要方式。
·ZenRadius如何工作?
用户可通过电子邮箱地址登录ZenRadius平台,然后输入职位或求职的关键词。该平台会自动从用户自己的联系人列表中进行匹配并推送相关信息。
为了与被推荐者取得联系,用户需要编写一封标准邮件来对职位要求进行详细描述,仅需单击一下,该平台就能向所有潜在应聘者发送个性化邮件。
此后,平台的数据分析系统将会显示有哪些人已经阅读了该邮件,并对这些推荐候选人对于职位的兴趣度进行评估。
当一家企业或是招聘公司使用该平台进行招聘时,尽管应聘者能够与诸多联系人取得联系,但是其简历只会被自动发送至职位发布者(而非推荐人)的手中,这样做是为了表达对职位发布者的尊重,因为他们拥有挑选适宜求职者的职业裁量权。
职位发布者能够看到某位求职者的所有推荐人有哪些,因此,雇主就可以利用这些不同的信息渠道来对求职者的背景进行交叉比对,以确保求职人信息的真实性。
“以前,亲朋好友或是工作伙伴经常问我们能否为他们公司的空缺职位推荐合适的应聘者,这给了我们灵感。通过某个人的人际圈所完成的雇佣过程,虽然非常有效,但是也很麻烦,实际上,没人会为了找到更好的求职者而对自己圈子里已经存在的资源进行广泛利用,”Mishra说。
“作为职业人的我们,通常会对自己圈子中其他专业人士的才能非常熟悉,并且能够很好的为某个具体职位推荐合适人选,这是一个基本事实,”他补充道。
在打造ZenRadius平台之前,该公司的核心团队所创办的第一家初创企业名为Smokelift Technologies,主要为Olacabs、Practo、Acceltrade及StudyPad等公司提供包括大数据基础设施服务在内的可扩展分析服务。
Tracxn的创始人Abhishek Goyal表示,“多年来,我们见证了通过共同朋友所完成的雇佣具有更高的成功率,特别是当我们有职位空缺的时候(而不是求职),但是通过人脉寻找求职者的过程非常累人。我们认为科技可以大大简化这一过程。”
目前,TracxnLabs已经完成了对两家初创企业所进行的投资,分别是美容服务移动市场StayGlad和按需物流企业Parcelled。
Hiring platform ZenRadius raises seed funding from TracxnLabs
Hiring platform ZenRadius has received an undisclosed amount of seed funding fromTraxcnLabs, an incubator backed by Flipkart Co-founders and Deepak Singh of Anzy Careers.
Founded by Nitesh Mishra, Arpit Kumar and Alok Yadav, this Bangalore-based network hiring platform enables firms, especially startups, to hire the right candidates through professional networking.
The world is getting more socially and professional connected and making use of these already enriched networks to obtain the right candidates is going to become the key method of hiring in the near future.
How does the platform work?
A user can log in to the ZenRadius platform with an email address and enter keywords of the professional vacancy or requirement. The platform automatically pulls out appropriate references from the user’s own contact list and suggests new ones.
To contact the referred professionals, the user types a standard mail detailing about the job requirement. The platform then sends personalised emails to all the potential candidates in a click.
Further, the platform analytics shows data on who has opened the emails and provides a way to assess the interest of referred candidates in the available jobs.
If a company/recruitment firm uses the platform, despite employees referring job vacancies to multiple contacts, CVs are automatically routed to only the Job Creator (and not the referrers) honouring the fact that only the Job Creator must have the professional discretion to choose the right candidate.
The Job Creator is able to see all the people who might have referred the same candidate. Hence, backgrounds could be crosschecked from multiple sources to ensure the authenticity of candidates.
“We were often asked by both our personal and professional contacts if we could recommend potential candidates for job opportunities in their companies? This got us thinking. The entire process of hiring through one’s network, though very effective, is very cumbersome and no one is actually using the data which is already present within their networks to get better candidates,” said Mishra.
“It is a basic fact that as professionals we are usually familiar with the skill sets and talents of other professionals within our circles and are in a better position to suggest the names of ‘likeminded’ professionals who would be most suited to specific job positions,” he added.
Prior to developing the ZenRadius platform, the core team founded its first startup Smokelift Technologies and developed scalable analytics involving Big Data infrastructure services for Olacabs, Practo, Acceltrade and StudyPad.
Abhishek Goyal, Founder of Tracxn said, “Over the years, we have seen that people we hired through common friends had much higher degree of success more specifically when we asked for people (and not inbound), but the process of finding people through network was very tiring. We thought technology could simplify this process significantly.”
TracxnLabs has already invested in two startups StayGlad, a mobile marketplace for beauty services, and Parcelled, an on-demand logistics startup.
