Monster India launches Monster College

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

Monster India has launched "Monster College" - a pan-India online campus hiring initiative. Monster College is to collaborate with educational institutes across India. As a first step in this process, Monster College has signed a deal with Syntel, a leading IT and BPO firm, to help them source the right talent from nearly 2,000 engineering colleges in India.

The concept for Monster College has grown out of Monster India's initiative for Syntel campus recruiting in 2010. Syntel was challenged with reaching the most qualified graduates at all AICTE-approved institutions across India, irrespective of geography or reputation. Named "Syntellect", the goal of Syntel's revolutionary pan-India hiring initiative was to create a positive national impact by extending job opportunities to graduates at every accredited college and University across the country. More than 135,000 students from 2,800+ colleges took the Syntellect online placement test in its first year, nearly 14,000 were interviewed and more than 5,000 received job offers. Syntel partnered with Monster India to develop the database of colleges, and the back-end infrastructure needed to support the 2010 Syntellect program. This partnership led to the creation of Monster College.

Sanjay Modi, Managing Director, Monster.com (India/Middle East/ Southeast Asia), said, "With Monster College, our goal is to convert the art of campus hiring into a science. Monster College simplifies and improves campus hiring through our deep domain expertise, extensive database, superior technology and innate understanding of the recruiting landscape. Monster College offers educational institutes the opportunity to leverage Monster's extensive reach in the corporate world by connecting them to over 20,000 employers across various industries. These include 98 per cent of Fortune 1000 companies along with other leading Indian and multinational organizations."

"Monster College thrives on our in-depth understanding of the employment needs of both employers and job seekers. The initiative will help companies uncover the most qualified and skilled candidates and pave ways for recent graduates to explore new career opportunities. I am extremely glad to have Syntel as our first partner in this ongoing journey,” Modi added.

Rajesh Save, Syntel's Global Head, HR, said, "There is fierce competition for the best engineering talent in the IT industry, and campus recruitment can be a major challenge. Currently, most corporations reach only 30% of India's engineering schools, so a lot of outstanding candidates are simply overlooked. Our idea was to reach out and establish a connection to this vast pool of untapped talent and bring the best and brightest of them to Syntel. Working with the recruitment industry leader like Monster enables us to efficiently and effectively connect, evaluate and hire the top talent available today."
