Eduvacancy, India’s first dedicated job search platform that focuses on the education sector and offers both teaching and non-teaching jobs, has raised $200,000 in angel funding from a group of high net worth individuals (HNIs).
According to a press statement, the Mumbai-based startup plans to utilise the funding for fresh hiring, technological upgradation, further tuning of the platform and its features and to expand across geographies particularly GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region, where there is a good demand for Indian teachers.
Co-founded by three young professionals, Manav Shah, Raja Jain, Nitil Gupta in April 2021, Eduvacancy helps employers assess right talent via video resume and video interviews, which is a game-changer for education sector hiring. The startup covers the entire spectrum of employers from preschools, nurseries, schools, colleges, EdTech companies, coaching classes, and test prep centers. Their job seekers’ database comprises principals, deans, vice-chancellors, teachers, vocational teachers, academic staff and non-academic staff. The platform also has a video resume feature that allows candidates to give their best 60 seconds and treat it as an elevator pitch.
