Why Kerala SME Talent Quest?
Kerala is home to a vibrant and highly skilled workforce, with a significant portion of young professionals eager to contribute to the growth and success of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The Kerala SME Talent Quest is designed to connect these talents with small businesses, creating a win-win scenario where companies find the right candidates and individuals find rewarding career opportunities.
KKEM’s Digital Workforce Management System (DWMS) boasts an impressive database of over 13 lakh registered candidates. This robust system ensures that only the most qualified and suitable candidates are presented to SMEs, streamlining the recruitment process and enabling them to make informed hiring decisions.
Event Overview
The Kerala SME Talent Quest will be held across all 14 districts of Kerala, with each city hosting a 2-day event. These events are more than just job fairs—they are platforms for business growth, innovation, and strategic talent acquisition. The quest aims to cater to the specific needs of SMEs, focusing on providing curated candidates that align with their company’s job vacancies. This ensures that the talent SMEs meet at the fair are pre-screened and well-suited for the roles SMEs need to fill.
Introducing the Recruit-Train-Deploy (RTD) Model
In addition to the job fair, we are excited to introduce the Recruit-Train-Deploy (RTD) model. This innovative approach is perfect for SMEs that need talent quickly but do not have the time or resources to manage the full recruitment and training process. With the RTD model, candidates are not only recruited based on your specific requirements but also trained and deployed directly to SME organization. This eliminates the hassle of training new hires, allowing them to hit the ground running from day one.
Embracing Virtual Interviews
We understand that the demand for Kerala’s talent extends far beyond the borders of India, especially in the Middle East, where there is a significant demand for skilled professionals from Kerala. To cater to this demand, the s offers a Virtual Interview option. This option allows companies from outside Kerala, and even international firms, to participate in the job fair and interview candidates remotely. This not only saves you the cost and time associated with travel but also ensures that you can access the vast talent pool Kerala has to offer from anywhere in the world.
Affordable Participation Fees
The financial constraints that many SMEs face, have led to making the Kerala SME Talent Quest accessible to all. The participation fees have been kept nominal to ensure that every business, regardless of size, can benefit from this unique opportunity. Additionally, a special discounted rate is offered for those who register before 31st August 2024. Early registration not only secures your spot at the event but also provides you with substantial savings.
