Chat Based Job Search App ‘Empzilla’ Launched

New Delhi, January 20, 2018-
Taking prime minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India initiative forward, a chat
based job search mobile app ‘Empzilla’, first ever of its kind in the country,
is being launched that will do away with existing limitations of employers and
job seekers making selection process quick and cost effective.

The mobile app gets
conversation between employers and job seekers going in seconds and the latter
can chat with the potential employer even within his office set up without
letting his peers and seniors know the context of the conversation. It also
relieves the Human Resource department of excessive load of mails and the need
to download all the profiles which is time consuming and confusing.

“We realized there were
limitations in the way job seekers were communication with employers so far. To
do away with those limitations, we are launching this mobile app which will
revolutionize the way communications happens between job lookers and
recruiters. This can easily be downloaded from Google Playstore and is free. It
will also take the government’s Digital India initiative forward,” said Mr
Akash Attray, Chairman, Empzilla.

In the traditional way of
communication via mail, SMS or personal call, the candidate and the recruiter
are unaware of the exact distance between the hiring venue and candidate’s
domicile. The feature of geo location in Empzilla indentifies the exact distance
between the hiring venue and the registered location of the candidate.

Even checking and
downloading all the profiles from mails becomes hectic for the HR department.
The HR may miss on the productive older mails also. In Empzilla, it becomes easy
for the recruiter and the hierarchy to monitor the activity as well the chat.
It also becomes easy for the recruiter who can simply review the profile in the
app itself rather than downloading the resume in detail.

The candidate receives the
notification at every step from ‘application viewed’ to ‘application in review’
further ‘shortlisted’ till ‘interview invite’. The traditional approach by
mail/call creates a larger chance to miss the targeted candidate due to
unfavorable conditions like the candidate being in the office premises which
restricts him or her to discuss other job opportunities. He or she can also
ignore recruiter’s calls being unaware of the caller’s source and purpose. Chat
is least missed when compared to a call.

During the launch of the
Empzilla chat mobile app, Mr Arun Singh, National General Secretary, Bhartiya
Janta Party said, “We are excited that Digital India inspiring people to come
out with new offerings that not only seek to solve some of the existing
problems but also saves costs. I am sure Empzilla app will become popular in no
time as it obviates some of the current problems relating to communication
between recruiters and job seekers. With deeper internet penetration, Mobile
Apps are increasingly being used by people even in smaller cities.

present in the event were Mrs Priyanka Rawat, Member of Parliament, Dr BBL
Madhukar, Former Chairman, CMD MMTC, Mr Raghunath, Assistant Commissioner of
Income Tax, Mr Sanjay Goel, President, ONGC,
