ThinkVidya.com Releases Recruiting Solution for Faculty Hiring for Coaching and Private Institutes

BANGALORE, August 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Institutes Can Now Post Faculty Jobs to ThinkVidya's 80,000+ Community of Teachers Across India

ThinkVidya.com, India's largest online network of teachers and students in India, has announced a new teacher recruitment service for educational and training institutes in India.

Today, it is a well-known fact that the country faces a huge faculty shortage in both school and college segments. However, the segment of training and coaching classes faces this faculty shortage even more acutely. The unorganized nature of this segment means that churn is high and finding qualified and experienced teachers is a continuous challenge.

Presently, there are 1.5 million schools in India and 6 million teachers, with an average of 4 teachers per school. But a shortage of 1.6 million teachers in organized education sector means that today student teacher ratio in India is 30:1, one of the worst in the world. As a result of this, coaching centers and tuition providers play an increasing role in providing personalized learning to students. With more coaching and tuition centers visible in any 10 sq km of area than schools, we can estimate that at least the same number (i.e., 6 million), of teachers need to be employed by tuition centers, coaching and training institutes.

To address this need of faculty hiring, ThinkVidya has enabled a hiring platform for the institutes to tap into ThinkVidya's database of over 80,000 individual teachers for hiring their teachers and trainers.

Rakesh Kalra, Founder and CEO of ThinkVidya says, "By enabling the hiring platform, we have completed the connection between our 3 stakeholders - students, teachers and institutes. While students could already connect with teachers and institutes, now teachers and institutes are also able to find each other."

Some exam coaching institutes as well as training institutes for corporate and soft skills training, hobby classes in dance and music have been using this feature during the beta phase to hire teachers and trainers. Going forward, even schools and colleges will be able to reach out to teachers for faculty positions through ThinkVidya.com platform.

Ayisha, Managing Director of Forefront Academy speaks about her experience with hiring a trainer from ThinkVidya.com, "We were in need of a trainer urgently for our Institute, and we got the trainer from Thinkvidya. We are happy with her method of teaching - she handles the class quite well. Thanks ThinkVidya!"

By making it easier for institutes to hire their faculty, ThinkVidya has brought more job options to its teacher, tutor and trainer community. Not only can a teacher find a student to teach, but can also find a full-time or part-time job to teach at an institute, school or college.
