“We are working in a direction where employers can be offered information about candidates on the same day,” said Subesh Das, Secretary Incharge of the state labour department. He was speaking at a conference titled “New challenges in the area of employment-stakeholders meeting”, organised by the employment directorate at the Bangla Academy on Saturday.
According to department officials, the database of the applicants will be linked to a website. “Applicants will have the option of updating their profiles online, once they have their profile verified and registered with us. They will have a login name and password. Similarly, employers will be in a position to look for required candidates,” said A K Ray Chaudhuri, Director of Employment.
