Jack of all - Market knowledge, Technology, Customer Engagements, Recruitment.
What do we do:
We are the matchmakers in the company (obviously! not in the literal sense. We have a marquee clientele ranging from duets (two people companies) to large multi nationals, start-ups to fortune 500 companies, IT service to cutting edge product companies, BPO’s to large FinTechs and so on. With such a great diversity of clients, comes a greater responsibility of fulfilling their unique demands. Being “Customer Delight” as our motto, we leave no stone unturned to fulfil these demands; often we tap into talent which blurs state boundaries and domains. Having such diverse experiences along with a plethora of used cases under our belt, certainly gives a feeling that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course this makes us adept to deal with any new challenge that does come up, because hey we have been there before!
How do we do:
Let’s move onto the crux of the matter. How do we do this? The work starts from formulating the JD and ends at on-boarding of the selected candidate (though it really does not stop here, will discuss it later). Our USP is going to the extremes to ensure customer delight. The process we follow to make this happen…. Well there is no secret ingredient!.
- Understand the customer need (don’t be surprised, if we were to tell you that most of the times it’s not same as what customer asks)
- Prepare a strategy and tailor the solution to fulfil the requirement
- Reaching out to right set talents
- In some cases help the Customer in devising selection methodology
- Keeping customer abreast with the market dynamics and suggesting on course of action as and when required.
- Constantly improving our processes derived from learning from each engagement (remember! Our work never ends on on-boarding, it actually starts again)
Case study:
Two requirements came to eLitmus for the same role, from two different companies in the same market segment and in the same domain. First customer had banks as clients looking up to them for innovation while the case of second customer it was to provide resources. So advised the first company to consider candidates who could innovate, quickly understand real life business situations and possessed great communication skills, while in the case of second one we advised to consider more persevering candidates who would love a desk job and tinker with tools & code to make magic happen and create value.
With successful fulfilment of both the requirements and high on job performance of hires, understanding one’s customers can help one provide best-in-class solutions. As an extension and somewhat equally important is to understand one’s customers’ customers, which is another pivotal step to success in the industry.
Bragging Rights
As per Nasscom survey, 90% startups wind up in their first year of becoming operational. But in the case of startups which are eLitmus’ clients, the fraction takes a nose dive (for the better of course!) to 5%.
We get to interact, build relations and learn from the top honchos in the industry (Country Heads, VPs, Directors and Founders etc.)
