PUNE: District collector Naval Kishore Ram has asked private industries to
hold virtual job fairs
to recruit skilled workers and tackle their human resource shortage.
“Many industrial representatives told us at a recent meeting that they were facing manpower crunch as workers who left for their native places are unlikely to return any time soon,” Ram told TOI. “We have asked them to go for
virtual job fairs
— a few private organizations, through
recruitment agencies
, have already done this to draw workforce from Ahmednagar and
Solapur
,” he added.
“Companies have hired agencies to recruit employees. This strategy is helping several firms save time and get qualified candidates,” Dilip Batwal, secretary of Federation of Chakan Industry, said.
“There are vacancies in multiple sections in several companies. This is a huge opportunity for local youths,” Shriram Satpute, the founder of a city-based job portal, said.
Pravin Desai, senior manager (HR and admin) at Badve Engineering, said, “Our firm is ready to provide transport to ferry them to the company plants, where their accommodation and other things will be arranged with the help of our contractors and due care will be taken,” he said.
