At a time when several start-ups continue to lay off employees to tide over the economic crisis created by the coronavirus pandemic, India grown messaging app Hike has said that it is open to hiring new employees.
The homegrown unicorn founded by Kavin Bharti Mittal said that it is hiring for over 20 open positions across roles as it is working towards scaling its products. Hike will be onboarding freshers from colleges, as part of its ZeroTo2 program for roles in design, marketing, technologies like artificial intelligence & machine learning, engineering and user research among others.
Hike has said that its customer base is mostly young individuals under 24 years of age, this makes hiring young people on their team important. Hike has also kick-started the second edition of its successful programme, ZeroTo2 designed to hire freshers and young talent including engineers with 0-2 years experience as Hike believes that young people are core to their team and understand & relate to the customer’s needs better.
Anshuman Mishra, VP, Operations, Hike said, “While we face an unprecedented time as an ecosystem, we’re committed to our users in offering new-age social experiences. We aim to hire across teams through innovative remote initiatives as well as making efforts to reach out to talent in need of opportunities.
Other than hiring talent for the company, Hike is also mapping and prioritizing the candidates facing job and salary cuts for its current hiring needs. Hike is currently working on launching a Social Recruitment Campaign as well to reach out to those facing job crunches in the coming weeks.
