Jobs portal to assess fresh grads online

CHENNAI, INDIA: Jobs portal TimesJobs.com on Monday said it has launched a tool to assess the employability quotient of fresh graduates and allow companies to make informed hiring choices.

It has named the service 'Quest'.

"Quest is bringing in the next level of corporate empowerment, providing skill assessment solutions to organisations, ensuring the right people, with the right skills are hired for the right job," the firm's senior vice president Vivek Madhukar said.

The portal has signed up with educational institutions to assess their students through online assessment examinations covering both the core domain knowledge of the assessee and the other skills required in the professional domain.

Currently, the focus is on providing assessments of fresh engineering and computer graduates.

Corporates availing of this service will be able to hire pre-assessed students who qualify through Quest, and are provided with an interface that allows them to search the database of pre-assessed candidates.

TimesJob.com, run by Times Business Solutions Ltd, has tied up with Noida-based S Quotient Analyzers for the service.
