We at NCrypted recently went on a campus recruitment hunt at Saurashtra University and Atmiya Institute of Science & Technology, Rajkot (Gujarat, India). I think campus recruitment process is better compared to other orthodox hiring mediums such as newspaper advertisements, job portals, internet forums, job fairs etc. Here you go to that very particular segment which has the pool of candidates that you require. However, you will need to garnish them with your dedicated training program which is another factor – but once trained they can be a nice asset to your organization.

Getting trained programmers, DB architects and QA testers at our Rajkot office has been a headache for us this year. We were looking at hiring 15 to 20 new guys but the scope wasn’t impressive at all. Luckily we arranged serial recruitments both at Saurashtra University and AITS from where we hired 8 candidates together for the post of ‘Trainee – PHP Developers’. A total of over 130 students attended the written test which was to be followed by a group interview process and the final round of personal interview which was to be taken place the following day. Out of 130, about 50 got selected for the 2nd round and 24 for the final round.

Below are the photos taken during the recruitment process:
