PGC Infotech launches 'WhereIsMyBoss.Com' Career Gateway


PGC Infotech, a division of the Rs. 240 crore Tirupur based textile behemoth, Prem Group of Companies became the first ever Indian company to introduce video interviewing with the launch of the career gateway whereismyboss.com.

India Inc. is currently grappling with problems of growing rate of attrition, bridging the skill gap and bringing about efficiencies in recruitment, whereismyboss.com is leading a new generation career gateway that seeks to intermediate between jobs and job seekers. Traditional job portals have grown out of newspaper classified advertisements. As a result, they work on an old line media model of aggregating the greatest number of jobs and job seekers in one place and then leaving it to the participants to sort things out. But this structure is proving increasingly to be flawed. Typically, an employer is faced with huge number of responses to his vacancy only to find that over 90% of them are poorly suited. whereismyboss.com understands that there is a huge opportunity to improve the experience on both sides of the fence, thus bringing together both jobseekers and employers on a virtual platform resulting in huge time and cost efficiencies.

Speaking at the occasion Mr. D. Prem, Chairman, PGC Infotech, “whereismyboss.com is a unique career gateway which uses some of the simplest technologies to solve complex recruitment problems. Our online technology in conjunction with Burning Glass technologies artificial intelligence will provide intuitive relevance in matching people with jobs based on its unique understanding of people and their careers and ensure that distance and time can no longer be an impediment in conducting one-on-one interview on a real time basis.”

Mr. Matt Sigelman, CEO, Burning Glass Technologies (BG) said “We are very excited to see our intelligent matching technology at the core of this new endeavor. At whereismyboss.com, BG technology is being used initially to speed candidates through the registration by pre-filling the registration form with the data it extracts from the resume. This will improve candidate experience, increase registration rates, and drive superior quality of data capture. In future, BG's patented artificial intelligence match technology will be an integral part of whereismyboss.com alerting candidates of relevant positions and of how it helps employers focus quickly on the right talent.”

Mr V. Ramani, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Connecturf added “whereismyboss.com is one of the most awaited, innovative career gateways in recent times.”

Addressing the need for better efficacies in recruitment Mr. Prakash Kewalramani, Chairman, Executive Recruiters Association said “The job market in India is growing exponentially. WHEREISMYBOSS.COM is the next generation job portal that will lead the way for providing both job seekers and employers the highest number of relevant results.”
