With the New Year knocking on our doors, Jobseekers in India have one more reason to celebrate. Gurgaon based startup CATCHUP has launched India’s first- free referral job network. The platform helps jobseekers find jobs & get hired by providing referrals from their alumni network. 80% of its users applying for jobs are landing an interview opportunity - which makes it the easiest way to get hired.
Over 70% companies prefer internal referrals for recruitment; jobseekers often struggle in finding the right connections and CATCHUP solves this problem. While it takes years in building a strong professional network, CATCHUP instantly connects its users with hundreds of organizations and professionals.
How does it work? It empowers college alumni networks. Just register at letscatchup.net and the platform will connect you to professionals and companies from your alumni community. It will automatically show you matching job opportunities from organizations where you have alumni connections. Apply through the network and increase your hiring chances. It’s quick, easy and absolutely free.
Here is a quick Intro: http://youtu.be/bOQSk6rK1bU
A brainchild of experienced entrepreneurs from IIT Kanpur, CATCHUP has launched its beta site in July 2014. Since then it has roped in over 10,000 users from 100+ colleges across the country. Commenting on the early response, Vinay Pahlajani, founder and CEO of CATCHUP said, “We are expecting it to grow manifolds from here. Every week we get hundreds of queries from young jobseekers. With minimal marketing efforts we are adding almost 100 users per day and are aiming to make it 250/day by end of this year”.
To outline the competition in the crowded recruitment industry, he added “There are job portals and job portals, some more successful than others. But chances of getting an interview without a referral are pretty low. Many excellent candidates are filtered out because of the lack of internal connections. We are the first one with alumni referrals and unlike other professional or referral networks we are absolutely FREE. We are not just showing them jobs- we help them get hired.”
CATCHUP is inviting jobseekers from across the country and is going an extra mile by offering personal counseling to its early users. You can also follow its updates through the Facebook page www.facebook.com/letscatchup or through the twitter handle @lets_catchup
