When & How?
The idea of Mylatch came to the founder, Pratik Roychoudhury, in 2007, during a brief stint as a Director of Operations in a staffing & recruiting company. He found the traditional recruiting process to be archaic, haphazard and ineffective. He also felt that there was no comprehensive, all encompassing online tool for job seekers that leveraged personal branding and social networks in a meaningful way. He knew there had to be a better talent matching platform. At that same time Pratik was also enrolled in the MBA program at The Wharton School, University of Pensylvania. His classes in Entrepreneurial Management, helped him to start formulating the early versions of the blue print of Mylatch. The company launched its beta site on Sept 8th, 2009.
Why Mylatch?
In the nation’s road to an economic recovery, the quest for and by top talent is more crucial than ever. The advent of social networking has unquestionably changed the recruiting world forever; however, the majority of employers do not have a comprehensive social networking recruitment strategy in place. Similarly, job-seekers are unsure about how to leverage social networks in their job search. Traditional tools bring some value, but they have also created a disjointed market, leaving employers and job-seekers frustrated with trying to manage massive amounts of data from thousands, if not millions, of resources with comparatively little results and high costs – until now. Thanks to Mylatch, a new breed of job search and talent acquisition tool, the process is now simple, comprehensive and highly effective.
