HYDERABAD: After the launch of School of Software Testing last year, Thatavarti Technologies is all set to add another first in the form of a job portal, which is believed to be one-of-its-kind devoted to software testing. The portal – jobs4testing.com may be slated for an official take-off on July 7, but the company claims that it is already being hit by 100-120 resumes per day, thanks to the promotional activities carried out prior to the launch. The Hyderabad-based company took almost a year to develop the portal. The development part of the portal was carried out in Bangalore, where the company has a centre. The process started in August last year. ``This is no job portal available that caters only to software testing. We have 10-personal technical team which would assess the candidates before uploading their resumes which is also unique,'' says TV Radha Krishna, CEO of Thatavarti Technologies. As an initial offer the portal will provide free database to its customers for one month. On the future business strategy, Radha Krishna says, ``I'm willing to sell the database but not the assessment part.'' The portal is targeting to have 1 lakh resumes by March 2008. As an enhancement to its assessment methodology, Thatavarti plans to have a centre in Vijayawada shortly. ``The centre can help us in our assessment operation as it's not always possible to interview hundreds of candidates everyday with a small team,'' adds Radha Krishna. Thatavarti spent 18 lakhs for promotional activities of jobs4testing.com throughout the country. Promotions were done through hoardings and web conferences. The company has also set up offices in Chennai, Mumbai and Pune. Thatavarti, formed in 2004, also has the distinction of starting India's first School of Software Testing. Launched in April 2005, the school is the training wing of Thatavarti that imparts coaching to freshers who want to become testing professionals. The programme run by Thatavarti, which is of six months duration also has campus recruitment facility. Students of the school have bagged jobs in IT companies like ADP, CSC, Polaris, Wipro, iGate, HBL NIFE, Opus Asia, VORTEX, Syscon, Inteq and SDG technologies. In future, Thatavarti also plans to introduce a software testing magazine. The company's software testing clientele include CSC, Wipro, Satyam, Microsoft, Polaris, iGate, Sierra Atlantic, Apere, Sagarsoft and Syscon. © CyberMedia News
