Since the beginning of 21st century, our workspace has seen more transformation than it has in the
previous 100 years. With today’s ever-changing business dynamics it makes most sense to have an
equally adaptive HRMS (or HR Management Systems) that works in sync with the business processes to
provide un-disrupted flow of work. While there are many such products available, the resulting

RPO models, Pin Code hiring, video resumes & interviews are the next big steps in the TA arena
With government initiatives like Smart Cities and Make in India, business growth will no longer be
limited to the top 10 major cities. From job postings in employment exchanges and employment
newspapers, to the next-gen #IamHiring posts on Twitter, the world of talent acquisition has
transformed significantly. There was a time when talent acquisition or selection was largely a

Talent crunch is often quoted as a serious problem by companies across different industry sectors.
The changing socio-economic, infrastructure and policy environment in India has facilitated India
Inc. to expand its footprints rapidly in various parts of the country, including small districts and
