The future vision

CareerNet is poised to be the largest integrated recruitment provider in the country. It is focused on exploring new territories of candidates’ acquisition with a digital-first approach. It plans to go global to cater to their international customers in their home territories. Their objective is to leverage analytics to further raise the talent-bar, customers’ competency, and service delivery.

In March, as the country faced the early onset of the pandemic, hiring was put on hold by numerous companies. To tackle the challenge, CareerNet focused on three things: safety, continuity, and efficiency. They ensured that every employee at CareerNet operated in safety and quickly adapted to the changing socio-economic scenario. They moved from a total on-premises operating mechanism to a remote-working one swiftly.

CareerNet conducted a study to understand the impact of COVID-19 on hiring with over 100 decision-makers in Human Resources/Talent Acquisition. The study found that 3 out 4 organisations looking to hire, were confident of effectively hiring employees remotely and 68% of employers recommended remote hiring to their peers and colleagues. CareerNet’s AI-powered platform, coupled with their industry experience and the collective expertise of their teams, makes sourcing, screening, assessment, interviewing, selection and onboarding of the best talent “frictionless” for their customers. Adapting to the new normal, the organisation takes pride in being the only talent acquisition company that offers end to end virtual hiring solutions for the complete recruitment supply chain.
