Cross-category online classified business Quikr has announced its entry into the job search vertical with QuikrJobs that will focus on blue collar, grey collar and entry level jobs across India.
Quikr has already been using its own platform to recruit for its call centre operations, sales force and delivery needs, it said in a statement, adding with the new initiative QuickrJobs aims to bring more people to the overall talent pool.
Quikr’s latest vertical follows the launch of QuikrCars and QuikrHomes. “Historically those in low salary brackets have not been targeted by the digital industry but increase in internet penetration across India is an opportunity to change this equation,” Quicker Founder and Chief Executive Pranay Chulet said.
“Our jobs category already had close to 25 lakh active candidate profiles, over 16 lakh jobs listed and we noticed that a significant number of postings on our platform were for blue collar, grey collar and entry-level white-collar jobs,” he said.
Quickr is used by over 30 million unique users a month and is present in 1000 cities in India and operates in over 10 categories that includes mobile phones, household goods, cars, real estate, jobs, services and education.
