TimesJobs.com is Indiaís No.1 Job Portal

With salaries soaring and bonuses going through the roof, the job market in India is red hot. The competition in the online recruitment business is simmering, every now and then almost coming to a boil. What began as a pipe dream of a bunch of starry-eyed executives less than three years ago is threatening to snowball into an internet phenomenon. Within three years of its launch, TimesJobs.com has trumped its decade-old rival to emerge as the largest job portal in the country. Yes, if you have the inclination, they have THE job.

Consider this: With more than 50 lakh job applications floating around in the portal, TimesJobs.com has been witnessing a record-breaking, mind-numbing 150 million page views a month, beating its nearest competitor hands-and-resumes-down with a staggering 120 million page views. While TimesJobs.com has 30.73 lakh active resumes (less than 6 months old), its nearest competitor is 3.45 lakh behind with 27.29 lakh resumes. Whatís more, the job site is leading across job verticals including IT, sales, finance and accounting, marketing and advertising and has become a coveted place to look for new opportunities. More important, even for senior-level executive recruitment, where you have any number of big-ticket head hunting agencies, TimesJobs is on the ball.

TimesJobs.comís stellar performance in such a short period is backed by powerful value-added services offered to its 20,000-plus clients which includes blue chip companies from India and abroad. With 50 lakh job seekers to choose from when employers in India are complaining of serious shortage of skilled manpower, clients are more than happy. Through our association with TimesJobs.com since the last 2 years, we have derived excellent leverage in terms of Employer Branding through their medium as well as cost-effective sourcing. TimesJobs.com is today providing us a wider net across the country including Tier II and III cities, says HP India, director staffing, M V Subramanian. Adds HCL Technologies head RMG, Ravi Shankar, Our partnership with TimesJobs.com commenced two years back. The way they have grown and transformed into a tremendous force to reckon with in such a short period of time is remarkable. Their comprehensive suite of offerings makes them an extremely popular partner and sets them apart. For HCL Tech, the association has been an extremely useful one, with shorter turnaround time and quality profiles.

The feeling is shared by job-seekers as well. It feels great that I registered and got a job offer with a leading IT company within 2 weeks. TimesJobs.com is great for people who are busy and canít go to different companies in different places. I thank this awesome portal, said Arun Arya, a Delhi-based applicant. Ditto, says Aswin Kumar from Hyderabad: I was working in Chennai and wanted to move back home. I registered with TimesJobs.com and was called for an interview within one week and had a job in hand within a month.

Supported by strong marketing campaigns including commercials sporting the tag Salary making you feel small?, the job portal has been creating synergies across media apart from offering candidates contact points such as TimesJobs Mobile, a mobile interface that allows the job seeker to search, view and apply for jobs by SMSing Jobs to 8888. What can serve as an icing on the cake is the fact that the online recruitment industry is projected to grow at the rate of 50% year-on-year and with its unique and cutting-edge use of technologies and long-term result-oriented and value-based alliances and client relationships, TimesJobs.com is all set to scorch the online job search market.
