Honest 836 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 Telephonic employment information service launched Business Line l 18 Dec l Hyderabad Gramadootha targeting Tier II and III cities, non-IT job seekers Hyderabad-based Gramadootha Technical Services Pvt Ltd announced the launch of a telephonic employment vacancy information service — Dialajob.net. “Unlike other services that use e-mail alerts to notify any job matches, Dialajob provides jobseekers with real-time notification of matches over phone (SMS and voice),” Mr B. Rammohan, founder and director of Gramadootha Technical Services, said while addressing a press conference here on Thursday. The company, which was incorporated about a year ago, has so far invested Rs 1 crore for developing this product. He added that with a Rs 250 registration fee per jobseeker a year, the portal currently has 15,000 users, including 300-odd paid users. Gramadootha expects 10,000 paid users in Andhra Pradesh alone in the first year of operations. It expects revenues of around Rs 4 crore by March 2010 with Rs 3 crore coming through registration fees and the rest from prospective employers. Fee collection Mr Rammohan said the company is targeting Tier II and Tier III cities and non-IT job seekers as the portal provides job offerings across all sectors. “We have tied up with APOnline and E-seva for fee collection. Under the revenue-sharing partnership, APOnline and E-seva gets a commission of 18-22 per cent of the fee collected per registration,” he said. The company has also entered into a similar arrangement with CMS, a Bangalore-based citizen services company that has 10,000 centres across the country. “A similar service will be launched with the help of CMS in Karnataka and Maharashtra shortly,” he added.
