No matter what business you run, you can’t afford to hire the wrong person.
Do you attend the website job seekers? Or missing out on a vast talent pool! Are you still asking candidates to send resumes through emails? And, those resumes get lost somewhere in the inbox! You do not have a careers page on your company's homepage! Problem... Isn’t it?
These last few months, we realized few trends about markets that are SaaS-ready. To my surprise, India is among the top 3 SaaS ready markets, USA and UK being the other two. Below are my few observations about India as a SaaS market. I hope this will helpful for other SaaS B2B startups that are focusing on India as a market.
First experiences in our lives are unforgettable. Your first love, first kiss, first day at school, your first Jazz concert or your first day at work!!
Is your technical selection team rejecting too many candidates for C# developer position??? Last week, you scheduled interviews of few candidates for C# developer position. But alas, technical team rejected all of the candidates saying they do not have application knowledge of MVC!!
Dear SaaS Startups, I am Amit - running a SaaS venture iMocha, a pre-employment skill testing company. In this blog, I am sharing my learning from SaaSx and how it helped me achieve product-market fit and grow my company fast.
Following are the guidelines through which a candidate can appear for the test on iMocha platform: 1) The Candidate receives a mail which provides him the access key, a link, and all the instructions to attempt the test.
Choosing between the human interviews or written tests has long been a subject of debate amongst the HR Professionals. In my opinion, both are interrelated and interdependent. It is quite difficult to give preference to one system while putting other on the back because I myself have found both the options suitable in judging men and women of abilities depending on the situation. This piece is an endeavor to give readers an insight on both the methods and readers will decide which one they want to opt. It depends largely upon the Nature of the Job - The decision of whether to take tests or conduct interviews depends solely upon the nature of the job. In case a company tends to hire a grocery clerk, the test may be a feasible option as it is most relevant to the requirements of the job. On the other hand, for some strategic level job i.e. hiring some International Relation officer, companies conduct interviews, as tests are not the right option to test the skill level of such candidates.

I (Amit, CEO, iMocha) have just spent last 19 weeks at GenNext - a startup accelerator by Reliance and powered by Microsoft ventures. We found a great value in this programme and business has observed some remarkable improvements during this period. Simply put: I feel like I have just graduated from one of the world class STARTUP MBA institute with my business iMocha as Major. I thought of sharing a few important highlights of this programme that can really help a tech startup to achieve next level.
