"The closer one gets to the top, the more one finds there is no top" . Nancy Barcus The website of Employment News under the domain www. employmentnews.gov.in was launched just 15 months back on 07.04.2006 and it is heartening to note that within such a short period, the website has achieved the distinction of being one of the most frequently visited websites in the Government Sector. The website attracts a page hit of more than 9 million every month.
With rapid advancement in technology and increasing pene-tration of internet, the process of recruitment as well as mode of application shall gradually shift to the online medium. With a view to capture the future potential of online job market, Employment News has entered into an alliance with STEP (Software Technology Entre-preneurship Path), IIT, Kharagpur and Monster.com. It is hoped that this alliance shall go a long way in facilitating Government Depart-ments to fulfill all their job related requirements through the online medium apart from the print media.
The IIT/Monster alliance has been entrusted with the responsi-bility of developing and maintaining an enhanced version of the web site of Employment News. The new look website under the same domain i.e. www.employmentnews.gov.in has already been made online. The website now has a very advanced ""Search Engine"" which enables a reader to get information about the job of his choice by just entering the requisite keywords.
The alliance has been formulated so as to help the readers as well as the Government Depart-ments in fulfilling the broad objective of availability of infor-mation through the online medium apart from providing a transparent E-Recruitment facility.

The website is being develo-ped as a fully interactive career portal which not only gives information about the Government Jobs but also provides career guidance to youngsters through the Q-A segment. In the next phase of development of the website further advanced features such as Message Boards and online chatting (with Career Counsellors) shall be provided .
In the recent years internet has become the most popular means for accessing information relating to job vacancies and private sector job portals such as Monster.com, Naukri.com, Timesjobs.com, jobsahead.com etc. are now catering to bulk of job vacancy notifications relating to the private sector. However, no such website was available in the Government Sector which could provide E-Recruitment solutions to the Government Departments. The enhanced and revamped version of Employment News has filled this void and should prove to be a great asset to readers and Government Departments alike.
For any recruitment procedure relating to filling of job vacancies in the Government Sector, trans-parency and availability of equal opportunity to all is the mandatory target that must be achieved. Publication of Government Job Vacancies notifications in the print media and E-Recruitment through the website of Employment News serves the dual purpose of transparency as well as access to information to all. The online solutions for any recruitment must also make sure that the data is properly stored and the entire process is seamless. The technological edge provided by STEP, IIT, Kharagpur shall take care of the security aspects related to E-Recruitment procedure.
Employment News therefore invites all Government Depart-ments to take advantage of the advanced features being offered through the enhanced version of our website. All these services being provided by Employment News shall cost a very nominal amount to the Government Departments vis--vis a position where they have to get such solutions developed individually and the same may be very costly.
Finally, we thank all our readers for their trust and interest in our website, which has encouraged us to offer more and more advanced services to them.
