2017

As we wrap up the year 2017, I am taking the liberty to move down the nostalgic lane and share our special moments for our weekly cajobportal Insights

You can’t have it all in 2017. 

We began this year with this piece where we discussed Deepika Padukone’s famous lines from the movie YJHD “Jitna bhi try karo, life mein kuch na kuch chhutega hi. Toh jahaan hai, uska maza lete hai na”. It was about overcoming FOMO and enjoying Less is More  https://goo.gl/2V9MRL .

The Self

We wanted to touch upon connecting with the self and touched upon dimension like  #PhoneLifeBalance https://goo.gl/oRwSW5, Ikigai  https://goo.gl/e8bnb7, Networking  https://goo.gl/wN82CK and the smile  https://goo.gl/boJNFs

HR tech 

That was undoubtedly was the trending topic for the year and no wonder, we had pieces which touched upon Big Data and Psychographics https://goo.gl/w5Rcgs ; Robots https://goo.gl/m335AU  and Artificial Intelligence https://goo.gl/Jp8axg

Women

Since cajobportal.com is a women led, women driven startup, we had these special pieces for deciated to “womanomics” https://goo.gl/7vjYmE“Chief of First Impressions” https://goo.gl/MtFfPQ and First Day of Periods Leave for Women https://goo.gl/TM1Xbu

Millenials

Driven by our interaction with young finance professionals, there were these pieces that showcase the HR challenge of recruiting and retaining the millenials 

How to engage a generation that does not buy cars and apartments anymore https://goo.gl/jyQ5Rq
Why you should give generous pay hikes this appraisal season https://goo.gl/og3XVt

Glocal Events

There were events that gripped our imagination and there were lessons to be drawn; be it Kohli – Kumble spatoff https://goo.gl/V43MJV , N Chandrasekaran’s elevation to the helm of affairs at Bombay House https://goo.gl/FhzcN5 ; Trump’s victory https://goo.gl/WFMTGm and when an entire government collapsed due to the font #Calibri! https://goo.gl/VJdnm9

GST was a watershed event for all of us and we had a popular video on how GST impacts HR https://youtu.be/5gL5EABUcfM

Corporate Life 

There were pieces touching upon multiple facets of corporate life. Notable were the ones on Remote Working  https://goo.gl/7BQf44,  CC’ng on emails  https://goo.gl/4JZeqL and Cubicles https://goo.gl/WtsV2c

Milestones for cajobportal

We have been lucky to survive for yet another year as a bootstrapped startup , monetising our Featured Jobs segment that helps corporate recruit CA Industrial Trainees to CA CFOs.  The money spent on the placement consultant is a grudge purchase for most 🙂  A popular piece was “Way Forward for Recruitment Agencies: Death, Delivery & Irresistibility” https://goo.gl/kgditJ

We crossed the Billable CTC of INR 12.5 crores ( USD 2 million) on our platform and are now empanelled at 125+ companies in 6 countries 

The DIPP recognised our efforts as also segments of the media. One notable piece was my interview on Taaza TV https://youtu.be/FTQJlxQDhxU

Finally

I am sure you won’t be able to resist reading this masterpiece on the year 2017 by Mr. Navneet Munot, CIO, SBI MF. As always, its a perfect blend of cutting edge research and succintness of expression 

In an eventful 2017, Elon Musk my ‘Person of the Year’  https://goo.gl/Pdh2zw 

Wish you a super duper New Year celebrations and see you next year 🙂 

Thanks & Regards!!
