How HRtech Startup Erekrut Is Revolutionizing Employers Hiring and Employee Job Search Processes

Since the start of the Covid-19 outbreak, hiring has been erratic. The alternatives available to recruiters have changed over time, ranging from totally remote, tech-driven interviews to in-person meetings brought on by the present back-to-office demands. Job seekers have also witnessed seismic shifts, with tech giants facing broad cuts and the "Great Resignation" giving way to enormous layoffs. Nevertheless, it's still difficult to get qualified applicants through the door, even in this unstable labor market. As a result, businesses and recruiting managers seek to create a talent pipeline that is both efficient and affordable, as well as future-proof recruitment. There are numerous elements to a successful talent hunt, such as finding the ideal candidate, creating a memorable application process, and providing individualized growth plans. Additionally, hiring must be quick and scalable in order to avoid losing out on top talent, income, and credibility for the business. To keep ahead of the curve, nothing really works better than quickly identifying the top candidates for open positions and automating processes. However, in 2019 Amity University fashion student Ajay Goyal witnessed the other side of the story while working as a volunteer for the university's campus-to-corporate program. It was obvious at the time that traditional hiring would need to be fixed because of its drawn-out processes, slow candidate responses, and general impersonal approach that failed to draw in or accommodate outstanding talent. Ajay, being one to let things slide, went to his father, Dr. Ravinder Goyal, who was a professional with almost thirty years of expertise in vocational training and placement.

Rahul Gandhis Post Following Uproar Over UGCs Draft Rules for the Education Panel

Congressman Rahul Gandhi declared that the party "will never let this happen" and accused the RSS-BJP of plotting to eliminate caste-based reservations in higher education. After the education panel's draft guidelines caused controversy, the Center and the University Grants Commission (UGC), which is in charge of overseeing educational institutions, made it clear that there isn't a plan of that kind. UGC के नए ड्राफ्ट में उच्च मिक्षा संस्थानों में SC, ST और OBC वर्ग को मिले आरक्षण को खित्म्म्ट्ट कॿंॾट्ट में कें्ं The Congress leader claimed that 3,000 of the 7,000 reserved positions in 45 central universities are unfilled in a post on X. "The RSS-BJP have already spoken about reviewing reservation, They now want to snatch the jobs of these (backward) sections in higher education institutions," he claimed. The move, the Congress MP, alleged is an attempt to murder the dreams of those struggling for social justice. "This is BJP's character and the difference between symbolic justice and real justice. The Congress will never let this happen. We will continue to fight for social justice and will ensure that eligible candidates fill up these vacant positions," Mr Gandhi added. The draft guidelines state that a "reserved vacancy may be filled as an unreserved vacancy after it has been declared unreserved by following the procedure of de-reservation."De-reservation of reserved positions in the event of direct recruitment is generally prohibited. The draft guidelines detailed the procedure for filling such a post and stated that, in rare and exceptional cases, the university in question may prepare a proposal for de-reservation of the vacancy, providing the following details: "The proposal will be required to list - efforts made to fill up the post; reasons why it cannot be allowed to remain vacant and justification for de-reservation."   A major controversy was raised by the draft guidelines, which the main Opposition Congress strongly criticized. Congressman Jairam Ramesh had earlier claimed that there was a plot by the BJP to abolish reservations.Amid the outcry, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan assured that "not a single reserved post will be de-reserved". "There is no scope for ambiguity after the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Teachers' Cadre) Act, 2019," he told news agency PTI.

Govt halves equity infusion in OMCs to Rs 15K crore

NEW DELHI: Finance ministry has halved the amount of equity infusion in state-owned fuel retailers to Rs 15,000 crore to support their investments in energy transition projects, and also has deferred the plans to purchase crude oil worth Rs 5,000 crore to fill strategic underground storages. The ministry made this decision after considering the emerging trends in oil markets. “The plan for the purchase of crude oil worth Rs 5,000 crore for caverns at Mengaluru & Visakhapatnam has been recommended for deferral by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance. This recommendation takes into account the emerging trends in oil markets,” stated the finance ministry. India, as the world’s third-largest oil importer and consumer, relies on imports for over 80% of its oil requirements. In order to safeguard against supply disruptions, the country has established strategic storage facilities at three locations in southern India. These facilities have the capacity to store over 5 million tons of oil, providing a crucial buffer to ensure a stable and secure oil supply. In 2023, during the presentation of the national budget, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman allocated Rs 30,000 crore for Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) to support the energy transition plans. She also proposed Rs 5,000 crore for purchasing crude oil to fill strategic underground storages in Mangalore, Karnataka, and Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. These storages were established by the government as a precautionary measure against potential supply disruptions. While other state-owned oil companies such as Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and GAIL (India) Ltd have also outlined substantial investments to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, the equity support was specifically directed to the three fuel retailers. “Rs 30,000 crore capital support to OMCs (IOCL,BPCL, HPCL) for green energy and net zero initiatives: During Expenditure Finance Committee meeting held on November 30, 2023, it was decided maximum of Rs 15,000 crore could be provided for equity infusion into OMCs in FY 2023-24,” said the ministry.
