Bengaluru,
19 June 2024: foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME),
one of India’s leading talent platforms, announced the launch of the third
edition of Aspire, India’s largest virtual career fair for freshers and young
professionals (with 0 to 3 years of work experience). The two-day virtual
career fair starts today, with participation from over 2 lakh+ freshers
& young professionals. With this massive pool of candidates, this
exclusive event offers recruiters access to a sizeable talent pool, while
providing job seekers the opportunity to interact with industry experts and
connect with potential employers.
foundit will also give candidates access to
assessments and courses to help them stand out to recruiters. There are around
50 additional skill tests for various job functions, and these are proven to
increase recruiter productivity by 25%.
Aspire's success has numbers in its favour with over
150,000 registrations in 2023 and over 141,000 registrations in 2022. This
year, the virtual career fair aims to build on this success by offering even
more opportunities for freshers and young professionals to connect with top employers
and industry experts.
The fair features active participation from companies
across the IT/ITES, Product, Banking/Finance, Healthcare & Pharma, and
Manufacturing sectors. Some of the hiring partners of Aspire 2024 include
Genpact, Infosys, Mindteck, PNB MetLife, Quess, ICICI Bank and Eclerx.
“We are thrilled to launch the third edition of Aspire
this year,” said Sekhar Garisa, CEO of foundit (previously
Monster APAC & ME), “In a job market that is evolving rapidly, we
aim to bridge the gap between recruiters and job seekers via career fairs such
as Aspire. This aids our objective of leveraging advanced technology to ensure
a perfect match between seekers and opportunities. This career fair not only
keeps job seekers informed about the latest job opportunities and skill
requirements, but also creates invaluable connections with top employers,
empowering young professionals to launch successful careers.”
One of the biggest pain points of fresher recruitment
in India is the mismatch in what the talent pool seeks and what an employer is
ready to offer in the job market, which occurs when the skills possessed by job
candidates do not align with the skills required by employers for a particular
role. The hiring cost involved in attracting and retaining qualified candidates
creates a volatile market for recruiters, making it tricky to navigate.
To
address these challenges, foundit also offers skill assessments. This
innovative feature allows candidates to undergo highly focussed, gamified tests
and helps candidates earn badges to enhances their visibility and significantly
increases their chances of getting hired. By identifying skilled candidates and
promoting upskilling, Aspire connects young talent with the perfect
opportunities and sets them on the path to long-term success.
