QUEST (Qualifying Employability Skills Test)

The Concept: Finding a good employment opportunity is a great challenge for students. Furthermore, students also need a platform to differentiate them in order to get better profiles. On the other hand, finding Employable talent at the entry level is a big challenge for the Employer Organizations. In order to address these concerns, Timesjobs.com has launched a program QUEST to help the Employers hire, pre assessed final year Engineering and MCA students from campuses.

QUEST currently assesses students to determine their Learn ability (Aptitude) and Core Domain (Branch) skills. The branches covered through QUEST are Computer Science, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering,

Information Technology, and Master of Computer Applications (MCA). For instance a Computer Science student will go through a Learn ability Assessment and an assessment on Computer Science. Likewise, a Mechanical Engineering Student would undergo an assessment on Learn ability and Mechanical Engineering. QUEST is approved and recognized by Timesjobs.coms select clients that have manpower requirements of Engineering and MCA students. Timesjobs.com would share QUESTs scores of the pre assessed qualified students with its clients, to help source the desired talent that matches clients hiring criteria. Timesjobs.com has collaborated with S Quotient Analyzers Pvt. Ltd a Noida based organization that focuses on Competence Benchmarking and Assessments for conducting these assessments. S Quotient comes with a vast experience of having conducted Assessments for various organizations in the IT, ITES, Financial Services, Telecom, Retail and Education Segments.

QUEST would assess students of colleges pan India. Colleges and universities would be chosen pan India. Database of the pre assessed students would be available on Timesjobs.com. Timesjobs.com would help its clients, which would agree to hire students pre assessed through QUEST, with multiple modes of interfacing with qualified students of their choice. Clients would have the option of interfacing with students in college or at their premises. (clients)
