A. What's your story?
Forget the fancy labels. Deep down, you are a true-blue
techie at heart, who breathes data structures and takes to coding as fish take to
water. Whether it was your college or your job - you always explored much beyond
"what-was-taught" and "what-was-defined".
You may well be going great guns in your current job, but you also know that your company is either just too big to care
or is engaged in projects which will never utilize even a fraction of your formidable
potential as a 24-carat computer programmer. Because, beyond all the fancy superficial
labels, you are a geek-of-geeks who loves to solve real-world problems that
impact real people.
B. What's our story?
We started our journey in 2005. We have built eLitmus
on the single mantra that we must help create a more competitive and merit
driven world, through our assessments, recruitment and technology expertise. Yes,
it is true that we have grown past the "start-up" phase, but we have
passionately held onto our start-up culture and work environment – with
us, you will always be on your toes – walking strategy and programming
every single day!
C. What do techies do at
eLitmus?
Ever wondered why eLitmus has one-seventh the number of employees as compared to their competitors, but are still the market leaders? All of eLitmus founders and 80% of its business team members are themselves techies. Technology had to be the cornerstone when eLitmus.com was conceived. And it does, even today. This, naturally, is one of the primary reasons behind our famed efficiency and productvity.
Story 1: One of our clients is the world's largest anti-virus product company.
Before they engaged with us, they
had to meet 200 candidates to make 2 offers, involving around 10 interview
panels. Since partnering with eLitmus, they are able to make these offers after
meeting ONLY 8-10 candidates, with ONLY 1-2 interview panels. Customer delight
aside; we achieve this kind of optimization for all our customers, because of
our superior in-house bleeding-edge technology
– skill-matching and self-learning AI algorithms. To achieve this, we
use mostly open-source technologies - Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Sphinx search,
MySQL, Git, Java, PHP happen to be some of them.
Story 2: When India's largest payment gateway (www.ccavenue.com) finds that its internal technology team
is unable to resolve a critical cryptography related issue, they seek our help.
Incidentally, we are neither in the payment gateway business, not in the web
security/cryptography business. We are just one among the millions of customers
of CCAvenue. But we were happy to help as our technology team loves challenges.
And yes, we will soon be opensourcing our contribution.
And, did we mention that our online test
administration platform is used across 28 countries and 5 continents? Our
platform delivers tests in multiple languages – including Mandarin
(Chinese) and Japanese.
D. What's in it for you in
the long run?
Every year, 3 out of every 4 engineers graduating in
India, becomes a registered user of eLitmus. Our website serves more than 8
million pages every month (we are in top 2k sites in India). One of the
possible product ideas can be to capitalize on the popularity eLitmus commands
amongst a section of youth to build India's largest Internet Company, start off
small and then turn it into a Goliath. In other words, this will be a golden
opportunity to own product management along with technology in the long run.
Apart from looking at an amazing long-term career, some
of our team members who decided to pursue higher studies after working with us
made it to some of the best institutes in the world, and we are proud to see
them going places. You may like to know the stories of 3 such eLitmusians:
