An young organization which is growing at a rapid pace in India, that is dedicated in making healthcare simpler for everyone. They are bringing the doctors and patients together on the same platform so as to find the best doctor, and doctors can manage their patients and clinics in better way with the help of technology.

 Practo Requirement

Practo wanted to find Sales Warriors (as they name it) for hunting down the market across India to keep up or rather increases the pace for their rapid growth index. Only male candidates were eligible for the role and had to fill 60+ openings in 6 major cities. All it mattered was the quality, selling ability of the candidate and their culture fit to the organization as said by one of the HRs.

Freshersworld.com (FW) solution

We proposed the solution in pooling the students in Nodal Centers in each state-Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi in Phase I and second phase in Indore, Mumbai and Pune. FW did the online assessment for all participants and the shortlisted candidates will be going through GD and PI (both elimination rounds), the final selected candidates were announced on the same date itself.

Process:

An HR-Team of Practo along with a Freshersworld personnel did travel to the decided venues. The first round of selection process was online assessment .Assessment was conducted and the shortlisted candidates were divided into 3 different panels for GD and further to that 2 rounds of PI was done before finalizing the selects in each venue. Much to the satisfaction of students and colleges the entire process was completed in the same day itself.

Fresherworld.com initiated an online registration among the campuses across India inviting applicants through our site and TPOs with an Online Student Management tool (OSM) to filter and shortlist students profile in each stage and to send call letters in advance to intimate on the date time and venue of drive.

In order to screen the candidates from the pool of attendees Freshersworld.com online assessment platform was used which is specially designed for campus hiring needs of companies.  The test for Practo was a customized accordingly for 30 mts and 30 questions which were well approved by the HR.
