It was just a year ago when the hiring activity slumped to all time low in India and the situation was much more gloomier for freshers. The time is changing and as economy recovers so is fresh hiring. This has catapulted Freshersworld.com to launch ‘College Ambassador‘ programme to leverage the offline presence for Online success.
Freshersworld’s – ‘College Ambassador’ is an initiative to appoint leaders in college to convey the career advice, job opportunities from the portal and various other job related quotients to students. Fresherworld will train the college ambassador’s so that they can doll out expert advise to their Collegemates.
According to Joby Joseph, Freshersworld.com CEO,” Students in colleges are still very ill equipped about their career search including creating resumes and preparing for tests. The Campus Ambassadors will interact with Freshersworld.com and ensure that all the students are well educated in this regard.”
The appointed College ambassador apart from interactions will also look after organizing events related to job placements in each campus. They will also be rewarded with internships, prizes to continue their association. The appointment will be done in consultation with college authorities
Will the offline presence work for Freshersworld?
Today most of the freshers look after Naukri and other biggies as their preferred destination for job hunting. Although they do create their profiles on other freshers portal but in most cases that is just to apply for certain jobs only. This is the very reason Naukri entered the fresher market with Firstnaukri. But Freshersworld by any comparison is still way larger than firstnaukri.
If freshersworld could appoint effectual College ambassadors with visible presence in these colleges then it could have a larger success in attracting applicants and recruiters to its portal. It could also collaborate with companies looking at direct college recruitment’s and make strong business relationships with them through its new initiative.
I think this is a major leap by freshersworld.com.
I remember, myself was a regular visitor of Freshesworld.com when I ws a fresher looking for job.
Great Site.
This is a new concept in India. Hope freshersworld could run this well.
