Dishtv and Monster.com today announced an Interactive Jobs search service “MonsterJobs Active".

Monster.com and Dishtv today announced an Interactive Jobs search service “MonsterJobs Active”, a user friendly interface for Dishtv subscribers, which would allow job seekers to search for jobs across the country in various industry verticals from the convenience of their homes. The range of information would also include services like Resume Writing and Resume Blaster; services through which a jobseeker can get their resume written by professional resume writer and can also send their resume to thousands of placement consultants in one go.

Speaking on the occasion, Salil Kapoor, Chief Operating Officer, Dishtv said, “It is our constant endeavor to augment customer experience by introducing innovative products & services and the launch of Monsterjobs Active is a major landmark in this direction. We are pleased to partner with Monster.com and are confident that this strategic alliance would create a compelling experience for our 5.5 million subscribers, who would now be able to quickly and easily find information that's important to them by a click on their Dishtv remote. With this unique service, World Wide Web has literally converged into the TV screen enabling anytime access and empowering the job aspirants with thousands of employment opportunities”.

Expressing his views on the unique association, Sanjay Modi, Managing Director, Monster.com (India, Middle East and Southeast Asia) said, “We are delighted to have an alliance with Dishtv. The convergence of the internet and TV medium will make job services easily accessible to TV viewers across cities of India. We strongly feel that job search on TV has great potential in bridging the unmet need of the audience whose access to the internet is limited. The above alliance substantiates our commitment to jobseekers to find the right job”.

Technology innovation continues at a break neck speed and the convergence between TV and Internet is getting more and more seamless. Providing internet services on TV to reach out to masses across India is surely an effective way of connecting employers to jobseekers. This tie-up between Monster.com and Dishtv will allow on one hand, interactive services to be extended to the customers as a value add and on the other, help employers reach out to a larger talent pool and it also creates a very visible differentiator in the category for both Monster.com and Dishtv.
