To repeat all the info already mentioned in the CV in the portal

It's good that some companies have a good mechanism where most of the fields in the portal get automation filled by fetching the data from cv.

It should either be a resume upload or enter details. Why do I have to enter everything again? Does it make sense to anyone?

Why do we have to enter everything in the resume and upload the resume also along with the tons of details we just mentioned?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have recently visited a tier 3 engineering college & am amazed/rather confused to see that on one side we have students working on startup ideas, while on the other side, some students are still struggling to create a CV. I just wanted to check with this community: Are there any best websites, like zety, yourcoc.com, or anything else, that can help in creating a good CV? Or what would you suggest?

How to create a good CV?

Hi Grapeviners, I have ten years of work ex in performance marketing and CRM. I started job search actively from Feb 15 this year and landed first interview today. 

How bad is the market out there. I usually get hired with in 30 job applications, also I apply to the role only if 70% and above role match with my previous experience also use referrals when available.

Also please roast my resume https://stonedmind.tiiny.site/ have redacted wherever necessary to stay anonymous as possible. For the first time in my career I have a doubt that my resume might not be upto the mark

Please let me know your views in the comments. Any help is appreciated.

Growth Manager

Hi,
Lately, I have been applying for jobs through LinkedIn, Glassdoor, career pages, etc. But out of all, the most irritating or tedious is to apply directly on the company's career page!
99 out of 100 times, our resume gets rejected, but to get there, how many details they ask!
- Log in and verify the email
- Upload the resume
- Again, give personal details
- Again, rewrite education details
- Again, fill skill sets
- Rewrite the same skills and experience from the resume to their portal
- Tick marks! OMG
Have you worked before? Or are you part of the military? Are you having a disability? Are you part of XYZ org before, etc., etc.? The list is endless!!

I mean, why can't this be crisp with 1-page detail!? Min it takes 5-10 min to fill all these details and end up getting an email "unfortunately, we don't have the right opportunity for your candidature!"

I don't know, not many are speaking about this! 😐

Have anyone got pissed off with the company portal's job application process?

Folks who are giving interviews these days, which companies are you interviewing for ?

Also what is the method of getting the interview ? Did recruiter reach out to you on LinkedIn, or you applied on a company portal and got the call or did you ask for a referral ?

Which companies are hiring

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

To all the companies who use Workday for hiring, as soon as I see a job link that redirects me to Workday - I close the tab, cuss a few words and move on. 

Nothing more painful in the world than trying to fill a candidature form on Workday

Workday sucks

Product Manager

So I have been unemployed for ~2 months now and wanting to do something on my own that is fun, fulfilling and has a scope for monetization

I realised during my job hunt that most recruiters (3P) are clueless about the hiring requirements of the job and usually cold call/ randomly generate leads through basic LinkedIn search. Most of the folks eventually don't hear from them later because they profile didn't fit the need( obviously!)

While not doubting their skills, I realised head hunting could be much more targeted through better classification of JDs and candidates and recruiters could save time both for them and candidates through better screening while improving conversions...

I'm planning to build a marketplace of sorts aimed at matching jr to mid level tech talent  with JDs( you know how generic and open ended they can be!)
I want to start this entire service as free for the current yr at least given the job scenario and later monetize through recruiters and TAs

I have mostly figured out most of the workflows and can get the MVP ready in a couple of days worth of dev work but what I'm skeptical is whether candidates might feel data security as an issue( something that leads to a shrinking candidate pool to pick from)

Feel free to leave your thoughts/ critiques/ feedbacks; good or bad both are welcome

Thanks for your time and double thanks if you took time to comment :)

Suggestions please/ PMF for a Hiring Platform

Most of the companies have such boring process of updating the same details on a employee portal, offline forms and what not!

I’ve been asked to update my same generic details for 10 different documents 😖

Hey everyone,

I have got a quick question. Does Deloitte USI asks for reliving letter from all previous employers for their background verification check?

Is IIT IIM tag worth it? I hear it works in the matrimony market if not in the job market

I applied for a job which used workday. I created an account, entered all my work info and it took nearly 21 minutes to complete everything. I clicked Submit. 

60 seconds later I receive the email saying "After careful consideration we regret......"

My only wish is that the product team that created workday should end up in hell and they should be asked to apply for jobs that use only Workday. I can't imagine a cruel torture than this.

Workday is the digital version of hell 😣

Need some help with Background verification in a MNC.

In my past experience:

- I got laid off on May 2020
- in July 2020 I got a job, did not like it and left early by Sept 2020 
- I joined a new company on Oct 2020 

In my resume , I have skipped this experience and mentioned other dates correctly. I didn't think it would be relevant!

1. Experience  A - Till May 2020
2. Experience C - from Oct 2020 - ..

1. Would this be a problem for background verification?
2. Should I inform the HR about this ?

Background verification process

What's up with the HR-Tech folks? 
Anything cooking in this industry

Recruitment is a 200 yr+ old industry
- Why are only a few B2B startups in this space? (Zoho, GreytHR.. 
- Can this industry get rid of Agencies?
- What USP can help in this space?

Anyone who can help get insights?

Is Recruitment-Tech dead?

Founder

Why on earth do I have to create a separate account for each company, remember password for each, fill in the same lengthy a** information for each despite uploading resume? Why would I fill in my info when my acceptance rate through this portal is less than a percent? (my own calcs) 
I want to understand what was going through people's mind when designing platform as such. My immediate reaction whenever I open a jobdescription with a redirection to workday is to f* close the website.

The worst jobboard: workday

Share other such question(s) which you feel doesn't make sense to be asked or share your thoughts why you think it makes sense to ask such question(s).
