A meeting convened at the DC Ambala office, presided over by the ADC Ambala, orchestrated a significant interaction between industry associations, potential recruiters, and district officials. Led by the CEO of Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Ltd. (HKRNL) via video conference, the gathering on December 7, 2023, encompassed key participants, including the CEO of HKRNL, the Additional Deputy Commissioner of Ambala, and the Chairman of the Haryana Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Ambala, among others.
The primary objective centered on HKRNL’s mandate to transparently and equitably supply contractual manpower to Haryana’s governmental bodies while also gauging the future manpower needs of the private sector and overseas markets. The session extensively explored collaboration strategies with local industries, emphasizing the alignment of the recruitment portal with industry requisites. Initiatives were discussed, ranging from establishing partnerships to devising collaborative training programs aimed at upskilling individuals for local industry demands.
The introduction of the HKRNL portal model served as a focal point, offering two distinct approaches: one enabling private companies to register, post job requirements, and engage with shortlisted candidates, while the other model functioned as a third-party facilitator for unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled manpower. Critically, both models safeguarded candidate databases from direct access by hiring companies. Emphasized benefits encompassed HKRNL’s commitment to developing and upskilling manpower in line with regional industry needs, providing cost-effective and expedited services compared to other job portals, and significantly reducing the recruitment gap between industry needs and available skilled manpower.
Overall, the meeting sought to cultivate a collaborative synergy between government entities, industries, and the community, envisioning a sustainable solution to bridge the skilled manpower recruitment gap. Yet, the full extent of the portal’s industry impact remains to be seen.
