Change, we believe, is good.
A few years ago, the Internet changed the business of recruitment.
Job portals introduced new efficiencies into recruitment and created new recruitment models. Yet the web has been more successful in transforming hiring for entry-level or junior roles. As recently as August 2010, only 5% of all jobs on India's leading job site paid over 
15 Lakh a year. Senior jobs continue to be placed through traditional channels - such as recruiters, networking, referrals or just word of mouth.

We spoke to recruiters about their experiences with job portals while searching senior talent and here's what we heard:
'Too much of data, difficult to filter out the resumes'
'Minimal efforts to build middle & sr. mgmt'
'They don't know how to deal with senior level guys, I think we need to sensitize them with proper training'
'Minimal efforts to build middle & sr. mgmt'
'They don't know how to deal with senior level guys, I think we need to sensitize them with proper training'
In an extensive survey of recruitment professionals across India :
- 84% our respondents to said "Existing job portals cater primarily to junior professionals and jobs"
- 95% went on to add that "For mid & senior mgmt positions, recruitment firms are our primary source of candidates"
We were clear that there was more to be done when it came to taking senior-level
