What is the various pain points your clients come to you with? How do you help them through these challenges?
Top-level executive talent search comes with its own set of challenges. High competition in this field makes it harder for organizations to attract the right talent. Due to this, finding and recruiting the best candidate from the talent pool demands expert assistance. Jobskey Search Consultancy helps various organizations with permanent hiring, contract staffing, and outsourcing solutions.


As newer technologies are revolutionizing the staffing & recruitment industry, how are you adapting to this technology trend while offering your solutions?
Jobskey had a rough start where we had our fair share of ups and downs. Initially, the various organizations in our region were not positive about the idea of cooperating with consultancy agencies to hire talents. This led the company to have minimal clients or no clients at all. Jobskey worked our way up regardless of the turndowns we faced. We invested time in making the clients aware of the benefits of hiring potential candidates through a leading firm and persuaded them with Jobskey's quality database which we acquired earned over the years through regular advertisements, word of mouth, social media connections, and market presence as a reliable search consultancy to boot.

Jobskey sailed triumphantly through the challenges of the pandemic and adapted to the changes it brought. The company was successful in identifying the domains in the marketplace that stood agile. We settled in microniches such as IT, telecommunications, healthcare, and food. This helped us in finding talented and potential candidates without any hassle. Besides, the management of the company was able to run the business through their digital platform to help both the organizations and candidates who were challenged by the pandemic induced restrictions. The firm adopted a remote working and hybrid workforce model both internally and with clients which resulted in a 25 percent rise in profits and a platform to induce ingenious solutions to clients.

Tell us about your company’s future roadmap.
Jobskey looks forward to advancing the company's growth by at least 3x by successfully integrating modern technologies like AI into the business and workflow. By doing so, we expect to outdo our past records and play a major role in the talent acquisition realm. Besides, the firm also intends to generate secure virtual workspaces where our clients will be offered with requisite setup, support, and apparatus to direct the remote working model. We think this approach will help us to empower our clients in recruiting well-suited talents from across the globe through our matrix of consultants and can offer a seamless operational flow remotely. We strongly believe this service will be 'another feather in the cap'.
