EdTech Bootcamp Startup SOAL launches ‘Hack Your Hire’, a Job Open House for Recruiters
New Delhi: In yet another paradigm-changing development, School of Accelerated Learning (SOAL) – one of the leading EdTech coding and design bootcamp players in India – has launched its job open house called ‘Hack Your Hire’ for recruiters. The program empowers recruiters with skill-based screening and will be live via SOAL’s tech platform named Delta between November 2nd and November 12th, 2020.
The Hack Your Hire initiative cuts down the recruitment cost of startups while enabling them to make the logical move from CV-screening-based recruitment to skill-screening-driven recruitments. The platform further developed a recruitment mechanism comprising skill verification by independent top coders, code audition designed by recruitment experts, and curated recruitment intelligence for tech and cultural interviews.
The approach has a sizable impact on the overall Cost to Company (CTC) during recruitment drives while also making the process time-efficient. As such, it brings the money spent on in-campus branding as well as overheads down to zero. Simultaneously, the time spent on recruitment per candidate is decreased to 4 hours at large. All of it is while ensuring that all recruits are equipped with the right set of skills and are a cultural fit for a company. Some of the recruiters who’ve hired from SOAL earlier include Dunzo, Zoho, ClearTax, and FactSet alongside others.
Speaking on the initiative, SOAL Spokesperson Sruthi Reddy, Head of Industry Networks said, “At SOAL, we aim to bridge the employment gap caused by outmoded practices by enabling recruiters to hire talent equipped with the desired skill-set. In this regard, one of the key challenges faced by recruiters includes on-campus placement drives. Such endeavours largely hover around the credentials in a candidate’s CV because unskilled freshers have nothing else to showcase. In other words, recruiters recruit on the ‘likelihood’ of a fresher learning something rather than the skills that a person already possesses. Furthermore, it barely gives an insight if the selected candidate will be a cultural fit. Such challenges get immediately resolved via our ‘Hack Your Hire’ initiative. In fact, we invite recruiters to ‘hack’ their hires and see for themselves if they can prove their mettle or not.”
