About us: Recruitment has been a complex problem in the 20th century. With our entry in the start-up era, both employees and organizations have become more dynamic in nature which has complicated recruitment even more. We are not scared to say that all those who have tried this space earlier have failed and yet we are confident of our efforts. We have a simple vision
1. Easy Job search for Jobseekers
2. Best Fit candidates for the employers
Our product: What if we include functionalities of Linkedin & Naukri? What if we try & quantify each skill mentioned in every individual’s profile. Does that scare that, already? Now, add the thrills of Clash of Clans to gamify recruitment over Social Networks!!
Our Journey: Back in 2013, Vaibhav worked on Adaptive Test Algorithm(ATA) with his friends from IIT Guwahati. With assumptions, theories & rough mathematical simulations, we release the first version of ATA. We try to fit different pieces of the puzzles together, Zigsaw is created. Beta testing is done in NIT Surathkal, MNIT & NIT Kurukshetra. In 2014, Vaibhav handpicks the first batch of interns from IIT Roorkee & JECRC to study case scenarios for test algorithm. Product matures with engineering & MBA interns. With time, the focus starts to shift from ATA to its application hence recruitment starts becoming a major part of what we do at Zigsaw. In 2015, The first-ever full-time team of Zigsaw is built from engineers from IIT BHU, IIT Roorkee, and Techno NJR. Meanwhile, Vaibhav quits his full-time Job as an HR Manager at Tata Power. In 6 months, we release 3 beta versions of Zigzobs (our Job portal), each one better than the last in terms of application. We start reaching out to more employers and collect their feedback aggressively. In early 2016, We start focussing on events. Interns from IIT Kanpur, NIT Surat, and IIT Madras help us conduct our first Internship Festival with 13 companies. Maiden edition of the Udaipur Job Festival is conducted in February 2016 with 11 companies. Things are darkest before the dawn & when we look back, it is these times that defined our character. We continue moving forward and conduct Zigsaw Job carnival 1.0 with 27 companies. In July 2016, we start receiving some early traction and our efforts are recognized by Rajasthan Patrika. People are getting interested now. Meanwhile, another offline/online internship festival is conducted with 18 companies including Urban Clap. Interns from IIT BHU, BITS, TAPMI & IIIT take the product to the next level and zigzobs 4.0 is released. Meanwhile, our clientele grows beyond Udaipur and we conduct Zigsaw Job Carnival 2.0 with 276 Job openings. In December 2016, things are starting to fall in place and we start to focus on AI to sort Job applications. We release OTG to improve recruiter efficiency by 800% and enabling Job seekers & Job providers to take the interview on the go. Our efforts are started to get noticed. We get covered by Yourstory and Networked India. Meanwhile, we become the quizzing partner of IIM Udaipur. In April 2017, we conduct Udaipur Job Festival 2.0. The 7th version of Zigzobs is in production & it should hit the roads in May end.
We are growing & growing fast. By December 2017, We would want to set up offices in Jaipur, Indore, Ahmedabad, and Surat. By end of 2018, we want to grow to 25 cities. This is only possible when we work with like-minded people and build the solution in the recruitment world. The problem we are solving is simple: There are 3 Lakh Jobs & 30 Lakh Job seekers in India but not even a single platform that connects them without ifs & buts. We want to be that platform. Would you like to be a part of our growth journey?
