  • I have applied for a couple of Jobs at www.zigsaw.in but haven’t received any call from Zigsaw. I am not sure what might be causing it. Can you help?
  • Whenever you apply for any Job, we usually take action on your Job-application within 48 hours of your application. The action would be informed to you via an email/SMS and can be viewed under the Application status tab at www.zigsaw.in/applicationstatus We only sometimes give a personal call/WhatsApp to shortlisted Job-seekers corresponding to their Job-application

  • It is sometimes caused by Browser cache and cookies. We recommend that you follow the below process
  • www.zigsaw.in is unusually slow. What can I do?
  • Sometimes we receive unusually high traffic and it becomes difficult for our modest IT infrastructure to handle it. You can try again in some time. That being said, we are currently working on upgrading our IT infrastructure to minimize such instances.
  • What happens when my Job-application was shortlisted by Zigsaw but I haven’t heard from the employer?
  • When we shortlist any application, it is forwarded to the official email address of the HR. If HR finds your application relevant, he/she would get in touch with you soon. However, if you haven’t from the HR/employer in 7-10 days, it usually means one of the below case
      • The HR was not impressed with the answers to the screening question provided by you.
      • The HR estimates that you are under qualified as per their expectations
      • The HR estimates that you are overqualified for the Job (might negatively impact stability)
      • The HR estimates that your salary expectations do not match their expectations from your skills/experience
      • They have already hired someone else or are in final talks with someone.
      • The position was filled internally.
      • The position went on Hold
  • When I checked under www.zigsaw.in/applicationstatus  my application has been rejected for a lot of Jobs. Could you please help my application get shortlisted.
  • Job applications can be rejected by a lot of reasons but here is a list of top 4 reasons 
    • Lack of relevant Skills/Experience: The most prominent case of rejection happens because Job-seekers apply randomly on Jobs and without a clear understanding of the skills & experience required for any Job. Applying to random Jobs that do not match your skills reduces your credibility as a Job-seeker
    • Salary Expectations: Job market has grown very competitive in the last 3-4 years and sometimes unreasonable salary expectation wrt skills/experience can cause your application to be rejected
    • Lack of sincerity: A lot of times Job-seekers do not show up for the interview or back out in the middle of the recruitment process. Sometimes applications can be rejected if the Recruiter thinks you are not sincere enough for the role.
    • Interaction with the candidate: Sometimes although you check all points on a Recruiter checklist, the Recruiter does not find you suitable after an interaction with you.
  • The option to create resume is not active now & we would relaunch it soon.
