Social media giant LinkedIn on Thursday launched ‘Placements’ service in the country, aimed at helping graduating students find their first job.
This is the first solution developed the company in the local market. In its team, the US based firm have around 100 techies working, of which, 40 will be dedicated to Placements.
“Our conversations with students, placement officers and recruiters involved in campus recruitment point to an unmet need for efficiency and effectiveness,” LinkedIn India Head (Engineering) Ganesan Venakatasubramanian said in a statement.
Through ‘Placements’, the company is aiming to help connect graduating students to their first jobs at a massive scale.
India is the first market to pilot the product. DY Patil, FMS Delhi and PESIT are among 14 colleges that have already adopted the pilot, the statement said.
The solution also makes it easier for placement officers to organise all data and take decisions to help achieve maximum placements.
LinkedIn has 400 million users globally, of which 33 million are in India.
