Recruitment & Employment policy It may vary from position to position. For food delivery riders, which we recruit through Kormo , the basic requirement is that they must have a vehicle, NID card, age above 18. Then we go through some screening processes such as reliability, communication skills, salary expectations, etc. For entry-level positions, we focus more on attitude rather than aptitude. We believe someone can learn and grow if he/she has the passion and dedication towards the job, and ability to work in a team. We usually published our job advertisements on Bdjobs , Kormo , and other job portals. We are also using networking sites such as LinkedIn and our internal referral sources to gather good CVs. For driver and field operations recruiting, tools like Kormo help us source and assess candidates more effectively and quickly. We then make sure we do an in-person interview and then if successful, we offer the job. Shohoz is actively participating in various career fest programs which are helping us to enrich our CV bank. Our interview process is designed to focus on lots of practical tests and case studies.
Investing on Human Capital Shohoz is now focusing on people development. We are exploring options to invest more in our people. We have plans to develop a project named “ Shohoz E-learning Center” where an employee can take training online at his/her convenient time. We have introduced various internship schemes targeting fresh graduates and we generally try to offer them full-time positions after completion of their internship tenure.
Challenges of HRM Team of Shohoz Our verticals-such as ridesharing, e-commerce, etc. are relatively new industries, so that it is not easy to find experienced professionals here. The basic challenge is the job market. It's all about supply and demand. For some positions, there is a talent crunch in the market and the supply shortage of talents makes it harder for us to recruit. So, supply shortage is a challenge. Then we hire a lot of fresh graduates. Our biggest chunk of talent comes from fresh graduates. This has become yet another challenge for us – finding the right fresh grads, managing them, and retaining them. When hiring fresh grads, we invest in developing them.
