Zyoin – The next generation career portal

Welcome to Zyoin-the next generation career portal.

If you already had a chance to go through the portal, you must have realized that Zyoin is essentially a Job-referral portal or in a broader sense an online recruitment portal. But we deliberately kept our punch line of calling it a next generation career portal, which is in sync with the vision that we have for Zyoin.com

After successfully exiting from our previous organization, we have been thinking of identifying new startup opportunities and online career space came out clearly as an area of great interest. When we defined online career needs of a professional, it consisted of self learning, self assessment, career counseling, peer discussions, getting informed about new openings and taking up new positions. Where as for the hirer reaching to the right candidate and letting the suitable candidate know of the opportunities that they provide is of prime importance. This is the informed assumption that we made.

We also noticed that there is actually no visible player in this area. There are only two successful players with a large number of registered user bases and they are essentially online resume database, eg Naukri and MonsterIndia. We further research and found that there are many other new players and most of them have come out in being in the last one year or so. Some of them are career networking portal and some are job referral portals, but still none of them have covered the online learning and assessment on the same platform, which according to us is an essential career need. But the very fact that many new players have come up that further strengthened our thought that there is a definite gap here and there are many fellow entrepreneurs trying to close this gap.

Our next step was to decide the starting point. Do we do all at once and then go to the market or we just launch a subset of what we intend to do, excel in that and than keep on adding new modules. Let me admit, we took much more than needed to take this decision. Some time too much of analysis leads to paralysis…

We decided to go ahead with a subset of our plan. The idea was to be into the market, see the action in real time and possibly refine the informed assumption that we made about the online career needs of professional. We decided to go live with Online Job referral portal and thus www.zyoin.com went live on May 14^th 2008.

We plan to differentiate ourselves from existing players by posting good quality jobs, providing personalized attention, being professional in our interaction and sending only the relevant resume to our customers.

We also acknowledge the fact that there are other players in the market and we need to constantly innovate to stay ahead of competition. So please go ahead and experience the Zyoin differentiation.
