India is known as the land of endless possibilities as it is teeming in a limitless workforce. Yet, more than half of these are not connected to the right occupation, creating a vacuum of skilled force requiring to be filled, in order to optimize on the goldmine of jobseekers. Job hunting in this subcontinent is a harrowing affair, where people waste their time, money and energy in following up dead ends. This led to the rise of Worknrby, a hyper local online job search platform that enables employers & job seekers to discover each other, nearby.
Worknrby provides online career and recruitment resource with its cutting edge technology which serve relevant profiles to employers and relevant jobs to jobseekers across industry verticals, experience levels within the reach, which concludes with savings of time & money. It's a new concept for employers and solution for employees, fixing the job match crisis in cities and can reduce major problems for super urban areas.
Genesis
Location-centric job search is one of the most popular categories and yet not much has been explored of it. This made the inception of Worknrby easy yet difficult, as the organization ventured into an uncharted territory- filled with new opportunities, yet steeped in unfamiliarity.
Features
In a category that takes itself too stringently, Worknrby strives to clear the clutter through it’s comprehensive usability. It takes less than a minute to setup account, with clean and crisp interface. Pricing model is so easy that small businesses don't hesitate to get on board. The platform does not charge any contact or subscription fee, working on a pay as you get basis, where employer pays when they get results.
Funding status
The organization believes in the strength of one’s own capacities and is self funded yet open to offers.
Monetisation model
It is 100% free for job seekers, where they charge employers. So Employer has to purchase credits to seek for services. Whenever employer finds a CV or vice versa, they can send request to each other. If this request is accepted, it automatically is considered as a Match and they charge employer on the basis of credits.
Future plans
The organization aims to bring small businesses on board, bridging the urban-rural divide.
Challenges faced
They have "Egg First or Hen" problem at this stage, as the disparity between the job seekers and employers is skewed. This again creates a block in the scale of job selection with a yawning gap in terms of visibility.
Market size & opportunity
There are many portals and services available across the country in the areas of human resource, yet nothing serious for small businesses. This creates a lucrative opportunity for the organization to thrive.
