Way forward for Zigsaw (Recruitment, Intern mapping and Test Algorithm)

2 weeks back, I was scared. Scared to leave my job which paid me on the 28th of every month. A week into Zigsaw, things look different and the whole credit goes to my team
Let me introduce them to you

  • Srishti: Do you have any idea how many recruitments opening a single person can handle. Meet Srishti, who has handled 8 clients ALONE. She is funny and confused at the same time, but not when it comes to closing positions. With 3 premium(12LPA) openings with us right now, I am sure she is the best person to handle this.
  • Devkaran: He will show you card-tricks and surprise you every time. He can talk to a person at 3:25 and schedule his interview at 03:30
  • Shubham: The superman who does things faster than the rest of us would ever be able to
  • Toshendra: He is our Chief momentum officer who helps us create waves with the Jobseekers
  • Anmol: He brings business and I am not sure what we would do without him

I am loving the energy here in Udaipur. It is not that the fear is gone but the confidence that my team would pick me up If I were to fall tomorrow.

Way-forward for us

  • Internship Tsunami: Devkaran. In our first year (April 2014 to May 2015), we had worked only with interns. I repeat, there were no permanent employees for the first year at Zigsaw(except August-September 2014 when we had Rajpal). I have experienced how resourceful interns can be. Also, it makes no sense to get industry veterans and pay them heftily when things are taking shape. Start-ups are about creating entropy in a tight budget. An intern can be resourceful when you would want to see an inflection in your Sales, Social Media Reach, and Google Rankings; Your core team can take it forward from there. If you are looking for Winter interns, reach out to us at support@zigsaw.in
  • Srishti would handle recruitments. Everything from sourcing, screening, and coordination would be her headache. She should have teammates in December
  • Portal: Vaibhav. There are many things that can go into this to make it intuitive & smarter. I am not saying we have reached our Eureka moment; but that we are trying and trying harder every next time. We would like to understand what is that 1 thing which when included in screening applications would change the face of Recruitment forever. We are waiting for Apple to fall.
  • Game: Vaibhav. Now, this is something people have tried time and again. We are just believing that recruitment if played with the spirit of Clash of Clans could change the way we look at recruitment.
  • Test: I think this is what you would be waiting for. After 3 beta versions, we roll out another. We are calling it for the same reason why some companies still prefer being called start-ups. It is because we believe that there is always further we can go with the Test algorithm and are open to discussions with experts about the scoring pattern. This would be a CAT preparatory adaptive test series of 3 Open Tests and we intend to cover 500 applicants through this test series.

@Team: Have I told you how good it feels when I’m with you? I feel home
