Hello & Welcome to the Zigsaw Design Carnival Fellas….. 😀 😀 :D�Â� So,�Â� here we go…
The first activity:�� Imagine yourself as Kickass Bike Rider and you want to go on a bike trip to ��Ladakh��, which is amongst the deadliest and the most adventurous trips.�� Now, all you want is to make a group of the likeminded daredevil bikers, for which you have to make a Poster and float it over the social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram etc.
The second activity:�Â� Winners never quit and quitters never win…. So let give it up for all the champions who have never quit and made it through the hardest situations. They are the brightest stars. Yes I am talking about none other than our champions who have made our nation proud in the previously held Olympics.
We being Indians have never shown our support and enthusiasm to any other sports or game, that we tend to show for cricket.
But this time as the Rio Olympics 2016 are approaching, we need you to make people of India show the long due support and zeal to our stars that they truly deserve. So you simply have to design the poster and spread the word among people.
The�� third activity:�� Imagine that aliens have attacked our planet and Avengers are here to the rescue. The whole world is divided into teams of Individual Superheroes, and their team will consist a Graphic Designer. You are shortlisted as one of those graphic designer and you have to choose a Superhero.
Your task now will be to design a T-shirt for the Superhero to make the brand famous among the people and inspires them join your Superhero��s team.
You can always choose an existing Superhero, or you can design the T- shirt for the Superhero who has been created out of your imagination.
The fourth activity:�� ��This decade was for Developers, but the next one would be for designers.�� ~Anonymous
But usually a designer��s creativity is trapped between his 9 to 5 job, so keeping that in mind we want to give the designers a chance to revive their creativity.
We are going to celebrate a Design Extravaganza wherein we would conduct a design faceoff, by means of which the designers would get a chance to feed their creative appetite. It would also be a platform for them to connect with the people of the design community.
You have to design a poster that can convey the theme to the Creative Souls.
The�� Last activity:�� Truly said ��Design is a journey of discovery�� as the last assignment of the carnival we would like you to make your imagination visible. You can create anything that you want to.
Let your creativity wander wherever your imagination takes it to, let us not restrict it through any boundary.
�â��Creativity is contagious, pass it on…�â��

Zigsaw Design Carnival [live]
Let the creativity flow -
Designers are an integral part of any successful company
Think of your company and the services you offer. Now think of all the competition you have in terms of product, service, marketing and branding. Looks tough, right? Getting started in your company is no sweat.
So what separates the top 1% companies from the remaining 99%?
Is it the well �â��designed�â�� brand presence? �â��¦ Yes, it is!
�â��A company’s design shapes the way an audience relates to your business, and any company, no matter the size, can benefit from employing design as a primary vehicle of brand expression.�â��
Apple is one of the best examples. It used design to distinguish itself from its competitors. In the 1980s and ’90s, the�Â� design was often an afterthought for many major technology companies. Apple worked with several partner companies to create the distinct, consistent design aesthetic that consumers recognize today.
“Through design, Apple was able to craft a positive brand presence that is slick and modern yet simple,” said Marlin creative designer at ShutterStock.
Every internet user spends an�� average of 4.5 seconds of time interacting per post on social media. Wouldn��t you want to leave an impact in these 4.5 seconds? Now imagine if you are able to tap into the infinite pool of opportunities on social media through a strong design sense & brand identity. Images not only improve but have been shown to be a vital�� part of a company��s marketing mix. For marketing campaigns, quality graphics have proven time and time again to be one of the most important factors to the success. Blog articles posted with images get�� 94% more views�� than articles without images. Twitter and Facebook posts with images lead to�� 2.3 times�� as many shares�� and re-tweets. Press releases with images�� increase views by 45%. 63% of online shoppers�� consider the quality of the product image to be more important than the product information and 53% consider them more important than ratings and reviews. 70% of marketers�� plan to increase their use of unique visual marketing in 2015. 95% of B2B buyers�� say they prefer shorter more visual content formats.
With these statistics backing them up, it��s apparent that designers are an integral part of every successful company.
Design can do more wonders. Do you know how design changed the fortunes of the Airbnb? What was the turning point for the company?
They believed that everything they did had to be ��scalable.�� It was only when they gave themselves permission to experiment with non-scalable changes to the business that they climbed out of what they called the ��trough of sorrow.�� Here what they say scalable is 1000 lines of coding and non-scalable is design thinking.
Design thinking transformed Airbnb from a failing startup to a billion dollar business.
To be more recent, the perfect example is one the most successful�� iOS�� apps, Prisma. This photo-editing application had achieved 7.5 million downloads and over 1 million active users earlier this month, having been released just one month earlier.
How can design help you as a small business?
As a small business, this can mean the difference between gaining an edge over your competitors and turning customers off completely. That��s why it��s so crucial to invest the necessary time and resources in a visually pleasing, well-designed brand presence.�� The clearer your overall company identity is, the more likely your company is to survive and thrive.
You will feel more confident representing your company with a kickass business card a well-designed business card will bring life back to that first impression the client had of you. If it��s representing your company, then make sure it is the best it can be. A�� stand out�� design will raise their confidence in you.
All you need is a good designer. #bezigsawed�� with us !

Play Pokemon GO with Zigsaw!
Whether it’s Facebook or Instagram, you might have seen a lot of craziness about the game Pokemon GO. It is a location-based augmented reality mobile game. It allows you to capture and train Pokemon, who appear on screens as though in the real world.
But here is something which is completely new for you. Here we let you play our version of Pokemon GO of the recruitment world. Catch Pokemons with Pokemon GO, get jobs with Zigzobs!
Features of our game & the comparison with Pokemon GO !!- There you go for searching Pokemon; here jobs are available at your fingertips.
- There you must physically travel to explore the game’s map, where you just need to register with us @ zigzobs
- There, Poke Stops provide you with items, such as eggs, Poke Balls, and potions to attract Pokemon, here we provide you facilities like resume making and selecting your skills related feature.
- There on encountering a Pokemon the Pokeball must be “thrown” to capture it, here job opportunities can be caught by clicking on apply button of zigsaw.
- There you create an avatar by selecting a hair, skin, eye color, style, and outfit, here we counsel people for the interview. We explain answers to tentative questions and make them practice the answers, etc.
- There are gyms where you can train your pokemon’s, we are conceptualizing Zigsaw Institute of Development
One feature that is planned for Pokemon GO is that you can share your Pokeballs /Pokemons with your friends. We currently have this feature as referring a friend button on all job opening. Plus you get referral incentives when you refer a friend for any job opening.
A glimpse of what we have made is here:After catching all the 142 Pokemons, the game just ends there and nothing happens after it. You don’t get any rewards while your dream jobs await you when you play with us. Plus when you share pokemon’s with your friends/colleagues on zigsaw.in, you can win cash prizes worth Rs. 5000
So what are you waiting for? Come on let’s play it..!!!
Somebody from future also spotted another difference: Pokemon went viral in 3rd quarter of 2016, zigzobs in 4th quarter

10 SIGNS WHEN YOU KNOW IT’S TIME TO QUIT YOUR 9 TO 5 JOB AND JOIN A START-UP
-
- When you’re bored and uninspired. You don’t enjoy the work you are doing and feel there is no scope for creativity.
- When you feel a disconnect at your workspace. You no longer feel like you add value to the organization. You want to be in a system of building processes instead of being in processes of established systems.
- When you feel your learning is limited. Your learning is limited to the proprietary frameworks of that company. You feel like you can’t grow personally. When you want to learn a lot of things in a very short time, startups are the place to be
- When you just can’t be bothered to excel. You have lost interest to get ahead on your career track. You are not motivated to perform well in your job.
- When you want to feel important. You cannot understand the significance of what you are doing on a day to day basis. You yearn to make an impact in the organization and would want to understand the ‘why’ of ‘how’ and ‘what’ you did
- When you want to work with a more transparent organization. You want to work at that place where you will know why the CEO decided to raise a new round of funding or why a VP of marketing was hired.
- When you know that you take on multiple roles. You know if you are not a developer, you can do business development, social media, ad sales, or customer service at the start-ups.
- When you feel the start-up culture will better fit your personality. When you have been a go-getter in your life and realize that your current role does not do justice to your capabilities.
- When you are ready to take risks The startup life is not all that glamorous. You will work insanely, handle a lot of pressure, and do a lot of jobs in a single Job. People will probably over-expect from you and you will 1.5X of how much you are currently working. If you are ready to risk the financial stability to feel ‘alive’ again, it is time for you to make the switch
- Lastly, and most importantly if you wait for the Friday evenings and hate Monday mornings, know that it is time to change boats !!
Happy weekend 😉 Find the best startup jobs at www.zigsaw.in

the “Zigsaw” story
Ever imagined that a comment in Facebook can land you a job offer??? Well, that’s what, we at Zigsaw Consultancy services are trying to do. With our vision to simplify the process of recruitment both for the recruiters as well as candidates, we are all set to #RevolutionizeRecruitment forever
The recruitment sector is highly disorganized. There are people who need Jobs & then there are companies that need candidates. The good thing from a business perspective is that both are willing to pay & business exists on both the models. We intend to create an online community where Job seekers can openly & independently interact with Employers.
From the Clients’ perspective, If I were to explain our product to you; I would ask you to imagine. Imagine a world, where when you need someone to do a particular Job, you reach out to a magic box. That magic box understands your requirements, quantifies it, evaluates the available options & delivers the best results. Now, imagine all this on auto-pilot mode. This magic-box is what we are creating at Zigsaw. A total platform to endorse evaluates, verify & select, all at your finger-tips. At Zigsaw, we are #RevolutinizingRecruitment.
Inspiration to start-up?
I was preparing for CAT in my final year. All of the scores in the preparatory tests predicted a percentile of 99% in the CAT exam. My exam went well but I scored only 83%. I studied closely the normalization methodology discussed on various platforms. I also came to know that the bell curve hypothesis is valid only for infinite data points & would lead to inconsistent results if done on a finite data segment. Even for my friends, the scores were a little unexpected(both ways). On the other hand, scores of my lobby mates for GRE & GMAT were consistent with their expectations. It is also a well-accepted fact in the IIT fraternity that the IITians of the 90s were super-brilliant than their counterparts today. Although some may argue otherwise, I think it is unfair to take the cream out based on easy/average questions. I think it is of utmost importance that we come up with a smarter algorithm to rate aspirants for every exam. If you are to select the top 1%, this can be only done with tougher questions that draw a clear distinction between the top 1% & the next 1%. We wanted to develop a smarter algorithm so that every smart guy is flagged & no brilliance goes unnoticed.
We are a strong believer in the impact of Social Media on Recruitment and this practice is increasingly finding favor in different cities. We have created various Facebook groups, each city-specific to connect job and internship seekers with potential employers. We have been built these groups from scratch to a total of 40k members in the last 4 months would give you an idea of the effort we have put in this group. These groups have a huge engagement and have landed many people in their dream job /internship. These are no-spam open groups where recruiters can post their requirements and connect with Job seekers of their choice. Our Facebook groups are growing at approximately 500 members per day
How are we different?- We evaluate skills through self-evaluation, peer evaluation & expert evaluation. This unique strategy helps us in creating a repository of pre-evaluated profiles which saves time & effort for the recruiter.
- Gamification: We are building a game around recruitment and are incentivizing the whole system of sourcing applications through referrals. The system of referrals from the existing user network makes it easy for hiring the right person for the right job.
Future of Recruitment?
Have you played Clash of Clans? Candy Crush? Enjoyed the house competitiveness in Harry Potter? This is exactly what we would like to do with recruitment. To build a game that is engaging and helps people get Jobs. A demo version of the proposed game can be viewed at www.zigsaw.in/gamify
(Username: demo, password: demo)
Personal Journey
It wasn’t easy. All the more for me because I was handling an independent HR role at my previous organization. Finding a technical cofounder gave me my first start-up blues. I tried finding a technical partner through the existing portals, my personal network, social media & all the ways I could think. Unfortunately, I wasn’t successful and although it was difficult I am glad that I started anyways. Honestly, this was a major reason that highlighted the need for a smarter need and we started focussing on recruitment. I realized that It is difficult to convince people to experience a new way when they have been using the traditional methods of recruitment for years. We have been stopped at doors and shown out. Not listened to and been dismissed as bogus. But in the end, we have always prevailed. I think the feedback from Job seekers has been our biggest strength and has been something that has helped us through times when business wasn’t good.
Having catered to clients like pagalguy.com, UBER, Indiamart, HRH Group, Miraj Group, Grey Orange Robotics, Urban Clap, Razorpay, and many other notable companies in the past, we are all set to change the face of recruitment forever. We have conducted 3 major events to date
1. Udaipur Job Festival: An offline Job Festival in Udaipur saw participation from 9 companies like Ziphop, Alien Tech Solutions, Spericon 3D, Rakhadu, etc.
2. Internship Festival (13 companies): Apart from the online nature of the festival, an offline internship festival was organized at SVNIT. It saw participation from companies like Urban Clap, Wedding Plz, Reval Regal, Career Crucible, etc.
3. Job Carnival: 62 Job openings from the likes of UBER, Mahindra Finance, Exide Life, August Infotech were shared over a span of 3 days.
Revolutionizing Recruitment
If you look closely, you will observe that Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate. We want to be the Job portal that owns no data. People refer their friends & colleagues for Job openings. This, I believe can the smartest & the fastest way of finding the right person for the Right Job
The team
Currently, we are a core team of 2 members, me & Shristi, we have believed in hiring interns for getting work done. We have had interns from top colleges like IIT-Kanpur, BITS-Pilani, IIT-BHU, SVNIT, MNIT, VNIT & TAPMI. I believe it works brilliantly; interns create momentum & leave us with a lot of ideas, and “out-of-the-box” ideas is what I think will separate us from the other players in recruitment. If I look back now, I see a very rich pedigree of sweet that has gone in building what we are today.
What do you see ahead for Zigsaw? I would like to take you to that one scene in the movie where Brad Pitt is leading the boat on the attack on Troy and there is one soldier who asks him, what do you see ahead?. He says, immortality……. I am not undermining the challenges that lay ahead, I am not saying it would be easy. We are just stating that with our ideas to change and boundless energy; sooner or later; We will #RevolutionizeRecruitment -
the “Zigsaw” story
Usually, for spammers, I have a low for patience but for Champcash, I have a genuine fascination. This is because they have come up with innovative ways to misguide people to download their app

Chamcash cracks it with its online marketing
Usually, for spammers, I have a low for patience but for Champcash, I have a genuine fascination. This is because they have come up with innovative ways to misguide people to download their app
- New faces every time: There is no way you can block them and sit comfortably. They will find you every time. I am assuming they have an MLM mechanism to bring engagement which again, I am a big fan of.
- People loved Irfan Khan for his hutch advertisements. He brought genuineness to them. Mix the genuineness of Irfan with the celebrity power of Shahrukh Khan. Chamcash guys start their posts with Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi
- They target what we need most: Jobs. They have solved a perfect problem for our country – Unemployment. They claim to pay you 15-20k rupees pm for 2-4 hours of work. They are online which makes it easy for them to target the Gen-Y of today.
I sincerely hope that some of the startups of today, that are trying to make an actual difference in the lives of people learn from the strategies of Champcash & make it big with their dream.
Advice to people: Don’t worry if you do not have a Job. We did a Job carnival where we brought 62 Job openings for our users including the likes of UBER, Indiamart, Mahindra Finance, Tech Mahindra Project, HRH Group, Destiny Group, etc. We will only go BIG with the Zigsaw Job Carnival 2.0 scheduled on 12-14th June. -
