Are Your Placement Efforts Falling Short? It's Time to Try Something New

March 2, 2024

We understand the unprecedented challenges placement teams across India are facing. In this turbulent job market, even top-tier institutions are feeling the pressure. Seeing bright, ambitious students struggle to secure their dream placements is heartbreaking. Yet, these difficult times call for innovative solutions and proactive strategies.

Placement cells often rely on outdated alumni networks or generic job boards with limited reach and accuracy. Hours are lost chasing wrong phone numbers, sending countless emails that end up in a corporate black hole, and struggling to get past gatekeepers. This takes a toll, not just on results, but also on the morale of your team.

For example: Your team identifies a promising startup in the tech sector. But their website doesn't list a specific hiring committee. You end up sending a generic email to their "careers@" inbox, hoping it somehow reaches the right person. Weeks go by with no response.

It's difficult to identify companies that are actively hiring for the roles your students qualify for. Without insights into the evolving job market, it's easy to miss out on promising leads. This results in capable students feeling overlooked and unsure which direction to focus their efforts on.

For example: A multinational company might have open positions relevant to your students' skills, but their sprawling job listings make it hard to determine if they specifically have a campus recruiting program in India.

The key to overcoming these challenges is two-fold: reaching the right decision-makers directly and understanding which companies are the ideal fit for your graduating talent. This is where technology can become your placement team's greatest asset.

  • Cut Through the Noise:
    Tools that prioritise accurate, up-to-date contact information let you instantly find verified emails and direct phone numbers, bypassing generic inboxes and connecting directly with hiring managers.

    Are you already using tools like Lusha, Apollo etc.?
    Most of the tools don't have a good coverage for India geography & most of the time calls don't connect because of wrong numbers. Yes, the struggle is real… 
  • Data-Driven Decisions:
    Look for solutions that help you identify actively hiring companies, understand their current needs, and find the key people responsible for recruitment in specific fields.
  •  Personalization is Key:
