Startup brings next generation of job interviews to India

The future of job interviews is here and it looks influenced by on-demand ride service Uber.

The model, created by startup Monjin Interviews, is built around a video database and a platform where candidates meet interviewers purely basis their skills.

This is how it works: A candidate joins Monjin. Intelligent scheduling allows the candidate to get scheduled with the right interviewer on the network on basis of their skills. The interview happens virtually, and is video-recorded, indexed, tagged and rated. The video is streamed across devices and is immediately available for subscribing employers. Employers can rate the candidate and interviewer just like on Uber, or Airbnb where users can rate a property.

An employer looking to hire can see for himself how a candidate performed during the interview. The company gets its revenue from employers subscribing to the service. Monjin is founded by Abhijit Kashyape, former lead-talent at Accenture, and entrepreneur Ashutosh Kulkarni. It received a $1.8 million (`12 crore) funding from angel investors and promoters.

The Pune-based startup, which has 40 employees, is looking to raise $5 million for growth. "The platform is self-aggregating and self-curating; hence every day and every hour interviews keep happening and they get consumed by the growing community of Monjin clients," said Kashyape.

"The entire process flow of creation to consumption takes place in the auto mode." Monjin claims to be the first ever video database of active and passive, as well as deeply assessed, candidates who have been given a rating. Anirudhha Thakur of Monjin says he has completed a dozen interviews.

"The profile I have interviewed for is a developer's. I get complete freedom to interview the candidate as long as I stick to a broad structure." Technical questions that are practical in nature are asked. Candidates are also given case studies.
