Dr. Andreas Koestler, CEO, Yellojobs.com Pte Ltd said “Yellojobs.com has revolutionized the world-wide job market by introducing our patented ‘Referral Recruitment’ model. We have achieved tremendous success in India and will continue to focus on the Indian market. We have recently launched in Thailand and are extending our services to many more countries around the world.”
Vikramjit Singh Sahaye, GM (India) for Yellojobs.com says: “NDTVjobs.com has been a very fruitful marketing alliance with NDTV and served the mutual purpose of getting a heads up in the internet jobs space in India. The entire site is fully created, owned & managed by Yellojobs.com. We’ve pioneered to start a Public referral system for recruitments and received an extremely encouraging response from users on YelloRewards. This is yet just the beginning since there’s a lot more to come that will add value & excitement in recruitment processes.”
On other job board related news Yahoo's HotJobs launched an app for Facebook. Looks like FB is the new google, at least in the US. Unless you are visible on FB you don't exist for at least Gen Y, I guess. I know that Jobster is really pushing their FB app, even giving it more visibility than their website. Even CollegeRecruiter.com has a FB app that is gaining traction. Yahoo's HotJobs is the first of the big names however to migrate to Facebook and embrace social networking in all its glory. Will we see the Monsters and Careerbuilders follow suit?
And I wonder when Indian jobsites like Naukri and Clickjobs will enter Facebook. It would be a great way to target NRIs and Indian students studying in the US for jobs in India. Even resident Indians are migrating slowly to FB from sites like Orkut.
I think its a good move... NDTV has no competency in internet and its best they focus on TV. Reference model is an excellent idea floated by them though... dunno if its ndtv's or yello's brainchild.
ReplyDeleteSo.. refferal Concept was whose idea?? yello`s???? GOOD IDEA!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful referal concept introduced by Yellowjobs & NDTV. Hope it continues...
ReplyDeletehmm... thats really a news, but there's also one thing which i noticed that in past one year i haven't seen ndtv doing lot of promotional activities on their channel for ndtvjobs.com. May be Yellojobs people must not be getting what they were looking from ndtv. Anyways my wishes with both of them.
ReplyDeleteRaja
I have been a user of yellojobs.com and feel that e-recruitment market will accept yellojobs and it doesnot need anybody's name attached with it for its exeistence. My knowledge says they are the people who gave birth to the concept of referral system and they should enjoy the credit of same.
ReplyDeleteleast interested in knowing who owns the job portal. but what i found interestin is the referral thing they have launched. hey can anyone tell me if this really gives rewards
ReplyDeleteyes me always thought this just offers jobs in this channel. now these people can develop an identity of their own
ReplyDeletethis yellorewards thing by this yellojobs sure is a cool ding. now who knew u can get a prize for telling abt good people for job
ReplyDeleteno havent got a reward yet. but one of the referrals i made has got an offer. looks like i am soon goin to grab 10k.
ReplyDeletethe yelloreward is for real. yes it gives rewards. i made 5k
ReplyDeletei am already a user of this site, i think they have grt concept ...so name hardly matters...its all in service that u offer..
ReplyDeletei am already a user of this site, it has got gud concept... so wats there in the name its all in the service......
ReplyDeleteMaking own platform in the vast world of online recruiters is very difficult task as yellojobs.com did.
ReplyDeletei am using it from past five month and it is really working .I am dam sure about one thing that with ndtv name it was hide in the dark room but after disengagement it will come like a "REAL YELLO" like sun...
i agree yellorewards is good. i referred a frnd and have recently got 5000 cheque....good concept ....all the best
ReplyDeleteits a good concept ...i will definately refer frnd n earn money
ReplyDeletewill yellojobs hv every kind of jobs or only media related jobs ??
ReplyDeleteThis is really a nice concept which Yellojobs has launched in the market....
ReplyDeleteLets us watch if its good or bad for both of them because referal idea was good concept which they brought in..
ReplyDeleteFriends, i had referred my friend whoi has got a job offer from Godrej & Boyce. He is gonna join very soon... it really works. I am waiting for the Rs. 5000 that comes to me for referring him.
ReplyDeleteWill let you know..
oh... It looks like a tradition now.. HUTCH is now vodafone ..and ndtvjobs is yellojobs... Neways...
ReplyDeletelike they say.."CHANGE IS FOR GOOD"..!! :)
Naukri or other internet job sites are not the future. I believe the world is moving to search jobs through social-networking.
ReplyDeleteNaukri does not have FB widget, becoz they are still dozzing. TechTribe on the other hand (a social networking site for techies) is soaring ahead with the FB widget.
i have bad experience in this site.. there are so many bugs in this site... so many error i registration process. when i started using it i was not able to understand what's going on... too much hoch poch is there....
ReplyDeleteI think they should change the design and concept tooo....
