Flipkart is embracing “interview-less hiring” approach

New Delhi, Jan 28 (IBNS) Online learning company Udacity on Thursday said online marketplace Flipkart has entered into a partnership in what it said to radically change the hiring process in the software industry.

"Breaking away from convention, Flipkart is embracing an “interview-less hiring” approach, and hiring candidates based directly on their Nanodegree projects and Udacity profiles. No in-person interviews or group exercises," read a blogpost by Udacity.

"This approach enables Flipkart to hire talent swiftly, shorten the hiring process, and maintain a critical competitive edge in its hunt for talented professionals. And it allows our graduates to earn roles based directly on the skills and experience they accrue through their Nanodegree program studies," it said.

Three Udacity students—all graduates of Udacity’s Android Developer Nanodegree program— have already started working  with the online marketplace.

Commenting on this new partnership, Peeyush Ranjan, Chief Technology Officer, Flipkart, was quoted as saying in the blog posted by Udacity, “The kind of disruptive work that we do at Flipkart demands a world-class talent pool and we are constantly on the look-out for experts who can solve the problems of Indian consumers. The conventional hiring process often comes down to the performance of the candidate on that specific day, which may not be a true reflection of their skills and temperament. This is where a partner like Udacity comes into the picture. The shortlisted profiles provided by them and the in-depth data we received were very helpful and allowed us to assess the candidate’s competencies in a much better way.”
