Individuals looking for jobs and internships can now depend on Zolo, a platform that would bridge the last-mile gap for students and job seekers for securing the right job.

 

The largest co-living and student housing brand in India, Zolo has launched ‘MyFirstXP’. The idea stemmed from the Zolo community where the leadership team and all the residents helped individuals who lost their jobs during the pandemic to find another one. The biggest learning which the team garnered was that the last mile preparation for the job interview and role-specific knowledge that makes a huge impact on the prospect of getting a job. MyFirstXP aims to build a solution to the underlying problem of what people learn through various programs and what employers expect from them while hiring.

 

Commenting on the new launch, Dr. Nikhil Sikri, CEO & co-Founder, Zolo said, “The pandemic has inspired us to create a platform which could bring a solution that bridges the last-mile gap for students and working professionals in securing the right job. Due to less job contextuality and relevance, a significant number of people fail to get the job of their dreams. Others who want to shift streams find it even tougher. With MyFirstXP, we are hopeful that the first experiences of people would be a win-win situation for job aspirants and employers who hire them through our platform”.

 

Amit Dixit, the CTO of Zolo added, “To ensure the best outcomes, MyFirstXP has developed India’s most cutting-edge platform backed by machine learning technology that enables screening, course dissemination and interviews till placement. The platform uses artificial intelligence & machine learning models to scale the operations and achieve efficiency in cost and time. And for users, it provides a seamless experience across the touchpoints.”
