Many of these ventures received significant funding, resulting in a surge in start-ups in 2021. Nobody expected things to change so drastically and the market to crash in 2022. This distressing situation arose when large VC firms began to refrain from providing easy money to start-ups.
In order to survive the funding crunch, start-ups were forced to downsize, resulting in the layoff of many of their employees. They needed to restructure internally, which meant laying off a certain percentage of the workforce, leaving a stream of people without a job.
Assume you received a call informing you that your contract with the company has been terminated with immediate effect. 27 Indian start-ups (including unicorns) have laid off over 12,000 people in the last few months alone. Finding jobs in traditional industries and sectors will be difficult as a result of the global recession in 2022. The laid-off employees were left to fend for themselves, with no guidance to help them navigate this frightening situation.
This is where having a profile on our platform is useful. There are several advantages to listing yourself as an Immediate Joiner, especially if you were a victim of the recent start-up layoff wave.
Here are some exclusive features that you can get for free simply by signing up as an immediate joiner.
Our three-pronged strategy ensures that we have your back at all times.
1. 'Immediate Joiner' Profile Option
This allows us to highlight your profile as a 'immediate joiner.' As a result, your profile gains greater visibility and traction among recruiters, increasing your chances of recruiter action and, as a result, being shortlisted for a job by a whopping 75%.
2. Gain Access to Pan-India Recruiter Outreach
Many job listings today are 'location agnostic,' meaning that employees can choose which work model works best for them: offline, hybrid, or remote work. Remote work is the second most popular work model in India. Taking this into consideration, we showcase and promote your profile across the 10000+ recruitment agencies in India, thereby expediting the recruitment and job search process for you and allowing recruiters from a wider geographical range to reach out to you. Applicants from tier 2 and tier 3 cities can now easily apply for job profiles that were previously only accessible and visible to applicants from metropolitan areas.
3. Workbud Help
Job searches today appear frightening because they lack the element of personal connection. Our ground-breaking 'Workbud' support feature humanizes the process. We reach out to job seekers in desperate need of an immediate job and help you through each step of your career transition by providing in-person assistance: connecting with recruiters, matching with job profiles, and working your way to being shortlisted, with seamless communication via emails, calls, and even WhatsApp!
We at Jobcurators are here to guide you through your job-search journey during the uncertainty of StartUp winters, with our custom-designed services and features.
