Hiring a maid or anybody for domestic help can be such a pain at times, now with National Career Service (NCS), unveiled by PM Modi things are much easier, reports ET.
This service was launched last week, that helps in hiring people for domestic help, caretakers etc in a much swift way. NCS can evolve into a biggest employment portal with the government’s ambitious thinking.
The recruitment takes place in the unorganized sectors currently through word of mouth or any agencies that charge heavily for the work they do. As part of concern, the government is taking up the initiatives to make this process easier yet reliable.
All the household individuals, entrepreneurs and small business owners are being encouraged by the government to register themselves on the NCS portal so that they can seek people with the required skills.
The NCS is kept free for both employers as well as job seekers, with Aadhaar based authentication for registration. The qualifications that have been registered will be specially verified by educational institutions and universities as well. ."Our biggest challenge is to get employers. Hence, we will soon kick-start the exercise to rope in private players as well as government ministries and departments to post all their job vacancies on the portal for the benefit of large numbers of job seekers," a senior government official said. "Besides, we are contemplating to tie up with existing job portals like Naukri.com or Monster.com as well as private agencies to work through this portal," he adds.
The portal already has more than 2 crore job seekers and over 9 lakh firms looking for employees. With the tie ups with 11,000 Industrial Training Institutes and more than 12,000 vocational training programs, the portal will be able to provide the right guidance to job seekers.
The authentication of the employers is main concern for the job seekers, thus this aspect is also taken care of, "The next step forward in order to make the portal more vibrant would be entering into MoUs (memoranda of understanding) with existing job portals to reach out to their database of employers," an official added.
The ISF executive director Suchitha Dutta said -"However, we will have to work out the business model as all these portals are subscription based while our mandate under the ILO (International Labour Organisation) convention is to provide free employment services."
"Government is the largest organisation in country and a job portal from it offers trust and credibility to primary job seekers who are otherwise sceptical of posting their profile on private portals, fearing that they would be cheated," she added.
