NEW DELHI: More than nine lakh jobs are available on the Delhi government job portal that was set up last month to help both jobseekers get employment and employers to hire their required manpower. So far, 6,271 companies have posted 22 lakh jobs on the job portal, of which 10 lakh vacancies have been filled. Nearly 3.5 lakh entries were cancelled due to duplication.
The government will be launching a poster campaign from next week to increase awareness about the portal. For almost 12.6 lakh aspirants, the portal was their first experience of a job hunt.
Employment minister Gopal Rai said the number of those seeking employment on Rozgar Bazar on jobs.delhi.gov.in is less than the number of jobs available. “There are over nine lakh jobs available, while the number of applicants is 8.6 lakh,” said Rai, adding, “Till date, 22 lakh posts have been offered by employers on the portal.”
