How Do You Find Job Applicants Economically in a Small City Like Jabalpur?

Hello Seniors, please suggest the latest and most economical method of seeking job applicants in a small and developing city like Jabalpur.

Hiring techniques vary from profile to profile and industry to industry. For example, if you are hiring for a senior profile, you can use LinkedIn or other professional sites, or tap into employees of competitors to create links and get good references. However, if you are hiring for ground-level openings, you also need to be hands-on. This can involve campus hiring, utilizing free job posting sites, or seeking employee referrals.

Hiring a Large Team

It appears that you need to hire a large team. Therefore, start posting jobs on platforms like Indeed, OLX, Quikr, Careesma, and many others available. Additionally, contact free consultants who charge candidates; obtain printouts of the latest openings and ask your office assistant to post them in relevant locations such as colleges and computer institutes. Ensure that this task is completed efficiently. With exams ending soon, reach out to local colleges to gather data on candidates seeking job opportunities.

There are numerous recruitment methods available. Consider what best suits your needs.

Good luck!

Thank you, Lavika, for your valuable suggestion. I am really facing a lot of problems in seeking the right candidates. I have already used and am currently using platforms like Indeed, Careesma, OLX, Quikr, and many more. I have also contacted some consultancies, but the matter has not been resolved yet.

Overview of Campus Hiring

Could you please provide me with a brief overview of campus hiring?

Your query sounds more like a request for a recipe—an easy, quick, and economical way of making noodles! I hate to break it to you, but the recruitment process is not any of those things. It is difficult, time-consuming, and mentally grueling.

Details Needed for Recruitment Process

The answer to your query cannot be given unless you specify more details. What sort of setup do you work for? Which industry? Employee strength? Strength of the HR department? What sort of hiring do you do?

Aditya Ji, I know that the recruitment process is difficult, time-consuming, and mentally grueling. That's why I am posting this thread to seek suggestions from respected seniors. If you need more information about my query to provide valuable suggestions, please ask in a different manner rather than criticizing my query. I am new to this profile and facing challenges, so I am simply seeking suggestions.

The task of getting content writers is going to be tough, and that's because of two reasons. First, honest and good writers are hard to come by. I have conducted English training in one of JBP colleges, and it was quite an experience—let's not even get there. Even if you want to get freelancers, I doubt if they would be willing to work, considering what companies can offer in Jabalpur.

As far as my knowledge goes, Jabalpur has only two companies that work in the SEO field and require content writers: V India and SAG. Neither pays well, especially for freelance writing. V India is family-controlled with a bureaucratic structure, and SAG is way too small; I wonder if it's even a registered Pvt Ltd company. Both have had major problems with retaining good talent and have lost good writers recently. Neither of them is willing to offer appropriate market rates for writing services. However, both have in the past managed to recruit good writers by changing their hiring platforms. I can give you a reference in Nagpur, and you can get a freelancer on contract.

As Lavika suggested, organizing a writing contest in, say, an MBA or a Mass Comm college can get you some good talent. The format has to be created smartly and in such a way that you can filter out and get some really good entries. I have seen it work successfully in another small SEO firm owned by my friend here.

Thank you so much for your suggestion. In fact, I had a discussion with the representative of Naukri.com yesterday and forwarded their proposal to my MD. I am now waiting for their response. Well, thanks again.
