By launching country’s first “Private” Employment Exchange on the Independence Day, Esource India has pioneered an initiative that would go a long way in meeting the aspirations of millions of youth, especially from smaller towns and cities in the country.
Esource India, a subsidiary of ESMS (I) Pvt. Ltd. which is a leading Security company with nationwide operations, is a full service recruitment agency powered by an online database combining social networking and traditional recruiting. It is all set to create an ecosystem that will revolutionize how India finds jobs. With the number of youth joining the India workforce increasing from about 40 million currently to 160 million in the next ten years, the Company is ensuring to meet their emerging employment needs by having its Pan-India presence thru sales offices and franchisees all over the country.
Mr. Nitin Deveshwar, Managing Director, Esource India, said “"The growth in India's economy has helped bring about a tremendous growth in the manufacturing, banking and service sectors in the country. The job recruitment market here is set to grow at 20 per cent annum and touch the Rs 2000 crore mark in five years from the present Rs 1000 crore. The country’s manufacturing sector was growing at eight to ten per cent, expecting to generate 0.5 million employment opportunities alone.
He further said that the shift of industrial activities to smaller towns has also created major job opportunities in these areas. Citing examples of higher job opportunities following industrialization in Vapi, Anjar and Bharuch in Gujarat, Raipur, Bilaspur and Korba in Chattisgarh and Haridwar and Rudrapur in Uttarakhand besides other small towns in the country, Mr. Deveshwar said that Esource India would now become an effective platform for such industries to connect to potential employees from such towns and cities.
Speaking about Esource India, Mr. Deveshwar said “Ours is an ‘online placement agency’ which has been planned to effectively leverage technology and cover larger geographies within India and tap in to workforce segments that have yet not been able to harness the true potential of the rising job market. Unlike other job portals which are online databases of ‘resumes’ of job seekers and companies that are hunting for talent, Esource India is effectively going to use the social networking model to ensure potential job seekers remain members on the portal and keep updating their profiles in order to let potential job providers know their intentions i.e. whether they are looking for a job or are happy with their current one.”
Mr. Deveshwar added “For the first time in the world, an online job placement model has been created that commits a job seeker to provide his video profile and psychometric test in order to better his chances of finding a job. On the other hand, it lessens recruitment time of a corporate as these parameters enable the company take an effective decision in quick time”

“Esource India portal is designed to link candidates to thousands of employers while also giving them the opportunity to learn and network, enabling them to showcase their personality thru’ videos and psychometric tests. What’s significant is that its portal which is very easy to use, will make it possible for job seekers even in small towns to gain access to jobs that are available either in the industrial hubs or in the areas closer to their home” says Ms. Geeta Suthar, Director, E-Source India. She adds that the portal would also be of great assistance to the country’s vast pool of qualified professionals, especially those from smaller towns and cities to get suitable employment opportunities.
A person who wants to register on the portal can buy a ‘scratch card’ from an authorized franchisee of Esource India and pay a sum of Rs. 100 (plus taxes). Using the unique number on the card, the candidate can register on the portal and create his ‘Esource India profile.
Ms. Archana Nafdey, Director, E-Source said “For employers, Esource India is offering a complete solution for their recruitment needs, fully supported by a team of qualified HR professionals and Placement Assistance Cells. Its flexible plans are designed to suit every employer’s needs, offering a choice of packages, privileges and subscriptions.”
While Esource India has 28 sales offices located throughout the country, it is now focused on building its franchisee network, and is on the look out for persons with right attitude and good marketing skills who can assist in tapping the candidates and at the same time earn substantial income. The company is thus creating opportunities of self-employment for thousands of people, especially for those above 18 years of age.
In addition to its all-India reach including Tier 3 & 4 towns, its franchisee network will make potential employees accessible thru Esource India portal. It will especially benefit the sectors that traditionally do not go online for their recruitment needs. Special package with affordable subscription will appeal to the small and medium scale industries which form a large number of job opportunities in the country.
