E-Commerce India - There's an online portal for every kind of Job

From agriculture dominant country, India has moved to services domain in a couple of decades. One of the barometers of economic development is the employment growth across all sectors. With 6-9% growth in GDP in the last two decades, people were fortunate to find all sorts of jobs across country. With colleges in different regions, talent in pockets for certain areas, skills in abundance in a few states and opportunities galore far and wide, how would people find suitable jobs even if they are aplenty?

Applying technology, job portals have come to the rescue. Due to growth of Information Technology (IT) sector in the new millennium, people were aware mainly of these IT job portals, but there exist a portal for every possible type of job. Here are some of those portals which made finding jobs easy on the Internet.

http://naukri.com http://shine.com http://monster.com http://timesjobs.com http://clickjobs.com	Provides an opportunity to post resume for jobs across different industries / sectors and designations. Most of them started with the IT job opportunities but expanded to all other domains. Each of them must be having millions of resumes in the repository. These portals also offer simple services like resume development, provide information about different professions and salary level validation.
http://babajob.com	If you are looking for a maid, driver , cook or cashier, this is the specialized portal to visit.  There is a provision of police verification and health insurance check of job seekers, for the benefit of employers, through their service. Their mission seems to create a positive impact to the 'bottom of the pyramid'.
http://freshersworld.com	Candidates fresh out of a college, especially from tier-2 and lower always find it difficult to seek a job.  Recruitment in the campus is not meant for all colleges and even that does not go smooth sometimes. This portal provides an exclusive service to show job opportunities for such freshers, who are ready to conquer the world.
http://govtjobsdaily.com	Securing a government job  was the norm with previous generation in India, after gaining a good academic record. If one is interested in such government jobs, this portal seems to provide good help.
http://apnacircle.com	If one is more interested to improve their professional network over a period of time and potentially seek a job from employers, this India-based website would be helpful.

I believe there would be lot many specialized job sites in India. The job seekers get to register on these sites for free; the job portals draw their revenues from the employers. It's a win-win situation for all the involved parties.

E-Commerce in India has blossomed with online travel business to start with. After that, online classifieds, especially matrimony and job portals, flourished pretty much. I wonder if all those folks who got a job through any of these job portals take a moment to admire the technology behind the scenes for their success and happiness !

E-Commerce India - Job Search simplified

If I am looking for a job, how do I reach out to all the companies who are seeking potential employees in their organization? In olden days (a decade has become 'old' now :-), I should have submitted my resume to Human Resource agencies, who have active connections with various corporates. They could have connected me to respective companies after first-cut screening. I had to wait for long to get a call from this HR agency, depending on it's credibility and reach.

Job portals, opened up to the job-seekers all across the nation, have made this process more efficient. Sites like http://naukri.com, http://monster.com and http://timesjobs.com have brought the process to the Internet and increased the chances for candidates to find a better job (who knows what's in store until a candidate joins the new company and undergoes that experience). Employer has to pay, to seek the resumes of potential employees. That makes it free for me - an employment seeker -  to post my resume on any of these sites.

Travel (http://irctc.co.in etc), matrimony (http://bharatmatrimony.com etc) and job sites (as mentioned above) were the initial popular web-based services in India. With so much of diversity and more than 20% of world's population, that is no surprise :-)
