    Grab Me Job | Best Hr Franchise Jan 2021 - Present
    We launched HR Academy(part of Recex) to tackle a major pain point: empowering job seekers to land their dream jobs without relying solely on recruiters. Within just 25 days, our pilot courses in English and Hindi on resume writing and interview skills organically reached and impacted 45 job seekers, demonstrating the strong demand for our approach.But Grab Me Job goes beyond individual success stories. We're addressing a systemic challenge - the difficulty for companies to fill CXO positions. We've facilitated discussions with over 100 CXOs, including a successful pilot run with a CXO in June 2021 alongside industry veterans like Mr. Akhil Nair and Shyama Prasad Goswami (Ex CEO, Reliance Group). This pilot validates our ability to bridge the CXO hiring gap.Looking ahead, we're building a comprehensive ecosystem for career growth:1.Job Outreach Support: We'll equip job seekers with the tools and resources to excel in their job search, translating into a win-win for both candidates and companies.2.Support Framework: Start Your Recruitment Business: Aspiring entrepreneurs can leverage our framework to navigate the recruitment industry and build successful businesses from home.3.Training and Support Framework: Upgrading HRs to CXO Level: We'll empower HR professionals to reach their full potential and climb the corporate ladder.
