Challenge: To accelerate the tech-hiring cycle and acquire top-quality engineers.
The conventional tech hiring process was outdated and inefficient for companies to adopt. It consumed a lot of time and money. Moreover, with a nationwide lockdown and irregular business unlock patterns, small and medium Indian firms were preparing for a digital transformation of their work functions and trade.
Udaan addressed the demand of the hour, and it was time for them to expand their team. So, Udaan started searching for online platforms that precisely evaluated candidates and reduced the candidate interview time.
The main challenge points were:
- To speed up the hiring process.
- Hire candidates that fit the job requirements.
- Hire top performers that can deliver value from day 1.
Additionally, there were common hiring issues of high costs, mis-hiring, filtering through a huge pile of resumes, and applicant management. Udaan was looking for a one-stop assessment platform that would solve these issues and accelerate the hiring process.
