Companies want efficient & optimized Induction models:
Innovation in Talent Acquisition, Induction and On-Boarding
becomes need of the hour for companies to hire customized
talent in bulk.

Domains of Promise
Even though according to NASSCOM more than 85%
Technology Freshers in India are not hirable, however 60%
of the batch in an Technical Institutions can be ‘Trained-and
Placed’ for domains like Testing, Application Maintenance,
IMS, Networking, ERP, CRM, IT Helpdesk, Oracle,
Peoplesoft etc.
Thus NASSCOM also insists on increasing industry
academia interaction through innovate models of
association and talent building at the campus level itself.

Focus on Optimization
Present day volatile global business scenario has forced companies
to redesign their hiring models with a focus on optimizing cost and
efforts

Huge Cost, Time and Efforts Invested in Training:
Companies need to incur huge costs, time and efforts in
training recruits during induction before On-Boarding them.
Optimization Begins:
Companies have identified that through ‘seeking industry ready
talent’ as well as ‘moving Induction to campuses’ will optimize
the entire recruitment process by enhancing the quality and
quantity of talent that they can On-Board directly from campus.
Empowering Academia:
Subscription to the Centre of Excellence model and creating
Talent and Induction Hubs in Academia creates a win-win. The
academia thus shares a resonant vision with the industry.

Visionary Centres of Excellence

COE Talent Hub can be implemented in the
college for multiple batches.
It makes a huge difference to the quality of the
talent pool if COE model is implemented with first,
second or third year batches and not just final year
batch.
The concept is to Analyze and Strategize Early for
a sustainable growth of the talent pool.
Colleges with a long term vision can associate with
this ‘Catch Them Early’ Model.
Colleges with Vision

www.talentgrids.com
Training an untrained mind, though requires greater
efforts, is more effective than training a inappropriately
trained mind.
Students will be made aware of their Strengths and
Weaknesses from Day 1 so that they can concentrate
their efforts in turning Weaknesses into Strengths
Students will be exposed to Industry expectations through
webinars and campus visits of partner recruiters
Talent Customization and more importantly Positive
Orientation will be done through use of Technology aided
learning from Company Officials
Impressionable Minds

www.talentgrids.com
Just doing English Language training internally or through
a third party vendor has never yielded any results in terms
of massive candidate transformation.
Based on every student’s individual analysis, key areas
will be identified and then addressed through technology
aided Industry webinars / seminars.
Students end up being ‘Frogs in a Well’ due to inadequate
exposure to industry, Hence, they will be made aware of
technologies in demand, most happening careers and
they will get it from the company experts directly.
Positive Orientation on all parameters required across the
corporate world is the need of the hour. Students will be
made aware of these goals and will also be equipped to
achieve them.
Positive Orientation

www.talentgrids.com
Company officials from any part of the country can
address students correctly and appropriately on the
technologies where they can aspire to make a career
according to their capabilities
One Webinar from Industry Stalwart goes miles in
motivating candidates with positive orientation compared
to several lectures from a local vendor
These company officials can become mentors for groups
of students and bring in best ROI for colleges in terms of
student capability and competency development
