The world is preparing itself for the coming recession; employment crunch, dwindling economies and financial crisis are some of the issues that will strike the doors of each country in the coming years. In that case, outstanding your skills or performing exceptionally well in your career is really challenging. Though there are many brands that are built to make the procedures easy for recruiters as well as for the candidate. Technology is also swaying this process of employability to a great extent and brands are doing wonders with the implementation of technology. To delve deeper into this space, Manikanth Challa, Founder & CEO, Workruit interacted with Sheeba Chauhan of Elets News Network and talked about the technology implementation in the industry and how it helps to build their own platform. Edited excerpts:

How is Artificial Intelligence contributing to building your brand?

AI is used at various stages of our solutions. Because our suite of solutions includes platforms for Job & Recruitment Search, Resume Builder, and Digital Exchange, the use cases appear to be in a variety of areas, such as resume screening, showing relevant recommendations, providing more accurate suggestions to what type of skill programs could help a job seeker in upskilling, and more. An important use case of AI is understanding a user’s resume and assisting them with ways to make it more effective, including using words and sentences and keeping it consistent with the job descriptions in the current market.

We understand the importance of specific tech stacks, and we are constantly upgrading them to ensure that the journey of an employer or job seeker is faster than ever.

As you are one of the leading recruitment platforms, how do you predict the job market in the year 2023?

Workruit has rapidly established a strong reputation in the recruitment industry. To understand the predictions for 2023, we will see a large number of job seekers switch jobs in the coming year for a variety of reasons. Following the pandemic, we’ve seen a new trend of candidates preferring remote jobs over office jobs, but companies are now expecting candidates to return to the workplace as well. Another important aspect we’ve noticed is that companies’ work expectations have changed in the last two years, and the workforce’s work-life balance has shifted. We will see an increase in demand for white and grey collar job opportunities, as well as a significant shuffle in the workforce looking to change jobs in order to change work environments.

Workruit also operates the Digital Employment Exchange of Telangana (DEET) platform in collaboration with Telangana State. Please let us know more about this collaboration?

We are the first platform in India/Asia to digitise, launch, and operate exclusive Digital Skill & Employment Exchange platforms by collaborating with governments to open up private sector job opportunities to all workforce (skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled). The DEET Skill Training module aggregates all courses offered by the Telangana government and private organizations and is provided on a platform to help users find relevant programs. As a result of the collaboration with the State, new opportunities have emerged, and an ecosystem has been established among corporations, colleges, institutions, organizations, and foundations. The authenticity and credibility of this platform exceed that of 90 per cent of the platforms seen on the internet.

With over 10,00,000 users on the platform, we have listed over 8,00,000 job vacancies in the private sector. We are linked to over 1,500 colleges (Private and Government Institutions) and provide over 500 skill training programs offered by various government and private sector organisations, making it easier for youth to gain more insights.

Equifax, Indian School of Business (ISB), NASSCOM, CII, TASK, FTCII, T-Hub, TSCHE, JNTU, OU, MGU, EGMM, ICICI Foundation, and others have formed strategic global and national partnerships with us to provide authenticity and value-added services.

As a resume builder platform, how do you see the significance of resumes in career building?

The importance of a resume or CV in advancing one’s career cannot be undermined. Workruit focuses on providing extended support for building a resume with features such as AI-resume analysis, grammar check, resume comparison to a job description, suitable and relevant text recommendations, and many more that improve the effectiveness of a resume.

With thousands of job seekers constantly entering the job market, ATS and Job Portals require a faster mechanism to streamline and shortlist a few relevant profiles, which digital Resumes and CVs do. However, what is expected of a job seeker is to understand the fundamentals and demonstrate their strengths on the job. Companies are also interested in learning about the candidates’ specific skill sets. In the career development journey, one should have a digital portfolio of their professional and educational information to help them gain more visibility among employers.

What are your plans of expansion for the year 2023?

By the end of the year, we expect to have reached over 5 million job seekers, 5000 enterprises and SMEs, and 2000 colleges. Workruit Resume Builder is available in multiple international languages, including Bahasa, Filipino, Malaysian, and Vietnamese, and we are expanding our solutions to the South East Asian market. We have seen good organic growth in these markets, and there is a high demand for an easy-to-use, on-the-go tool for building digital profiles.

As part of our solutions, we intend to target over 2000+ educational institutions and colleges to offer solutions for assisting students and placement teams in automating the Resume, CV, Cover Letter, and Video Resume processes, allowing students to connect with more internships and job opportunities.
