Monster, a Quess Corp company, announced the launch of Aspire, a platform that allows candidates to take assessment tests for a host of industry functions that proves their job readiness. Quess acquired Monster’s Indian business in 2018.

The assessments are designed by academic experts and industry veterans in order to provide an ‘industry-wide recruiting benchmark making the recruitment process more efficient’.

The comprehensive function-specific assessment tests to help recruiters find the brightest candidates from a massive pool of young untested talent with a single score. Aspire will provide the participating candidates lucrative job opportunities while also offering recruiters access to a pool of pre-assessed quality young professionals with a high propensity of joining and a low attrition rate.

The Aspire platform would also be the gateway to register for all Monster organised Virtual Career Fairs.

Through Aspire platform and the career fairs, Monster aims to form an effective campus connection and provide placement support to entry-level talent. 

The Aspire Virtual Career Fair intends to cater to over 100,000 participants not only from premium colleges but also from non-premium institutes who often are not accessible to employers but are extremely talented and have a high propensity of joining. 

“Aspire would provide candidates from Tier 2/3/4 Indian cities an opportunity to get recruited by top global firms, in turn democratising recruitments while driving a deeper social change,” Monster.com stated. “The comprehensive Job Assessment Test will pave way for a more efficient recruiting mechanism giving recruiters pre-assessed curated profiles while giving candidates an edge stand-out from other aspiring freshers.”

Sekhar Garisa, CEO - Monster, said, “With hiring slowly but steadily bouncing back after the setback of Covid-19, job opportunities for entry-level talent are on the rise. Even as there is no dearth of talent among the younger demographic, recruiters often struggle to identify the right fit for their organisations among newer entrants to the workforce. Keeping this in mind, we have curated Aspire, dedicated to the Gen Z workforce, with an aim to bring potential candidates in touch with the most sought-after employers and in turn help recruiters find the right match from a pool of quality assured talent.”
