XedScore is a recruitment tool. It has a database of thousands of MBA freshers and their employability scores.
Recruiters use it when they need to hire MBA freshers anytime during the year. They use it
primarily during placement season.
Campus recruitment activities can go on as usual. XedScore supplements campus recruitment. Hiring via XedScore is independent of placement season. It gives a pan India reach. All India students can be easily compared. No scheduling, no travel and no costs.
XedScore is very easy to use. Create a job post. Filter candidates using most relevant scores. Invite these candidates for interview.

There are four key advantages for recruiters using XedScore:
1.It has all relevant scores ready, recruiters need not conduct Aptitude, GDs or written tests. No scheduling; no forceful hiring by institutes.
2.As the entire process till inviting candidates is online. Need to travel can be eliminated in 95% cases.
3.Recruiters can save all kinds of hiring costs like: Commission to agents, expenses related to Campus placements etc..
4.Recruiters get access to a wider pan-India student database throughout the year.
Tier II Institutes too have lots of students who are as capable as Tier I Institute students. They could also be hired at lower packages. Moreover, we are also engaging with Tier-I b-schools to associate with us.
Spoken & Written English, Aptitude, Psychometric, Domain, Current Affairs & Sector Knowledge.
Our in-house expert panel of more than 20 faculties has on an average 10+ yrs of experience in creating assessment methodologies and questions.
XedScore is a weighted average of all the scores combined together.
1.Aptitude.................25%
2.Domain...................25%
3.English Communication....25%
4.Current Affairs..........12.5%
5.Psychometric.............12.5%
Since we charge the colleges XedScore is Free for all Recruiters. In future, we also plan to introduce paid premium services like:
1.Advertisements
2.Sponsored Job Posts
3.Hiring Pitch to Students – in form of PPT, Videos, Docs etc
To get the best results the scores have to be high on validity and credibility. XedScore will be unsuccessful if we manipulate scores to benefit some at the cost of others. Recruiters will stop using XedScore if the scores are not in sync with their assessment. Manipulating the scores will also mean cheating with the Students & the Institutes. However, to ensure more transparency, we have different assessment and recruitment teams.
Sample Papers of Assessment are available online in the Recruiter Module.
Our assessments are scientifically designed and are based on standardized parameters. Customization is not possible within this framework.
Our Psychometric Analysis is based on the Five Factor Model also known as the Big 5 Personality traits – Accommodation, Orderliness, Extroversion, Emotional Stability and Intellectual Curiosity.
Assessments are done on the Institute Campus under Invigilation. We cross validate the scores during the Video/telephonic Spoken Assessment.
XedScore can be used throughout the year without any charge.
More than 50 recruiters including Reliance, Educomp, Syntel, Bharat Matrimony, Thermax, Sun TV, Torrent Power Ltd, BMC Software, Eureka Forbes, Bajaj Capital, etc. have already signed up. We plan to partner with more than 500 recruiters by the end of 2013.
Just by filtering from a ready to use database, a recruiter can save atleast 8 hrs (2 hrs for travelling, 3 hrs for aptitude and 3 hrs for GD) per candidate. For successful hiring, the concerned managers have to interview and select the candidate.
It’s an open market; hence we cannot force Students to not opt for another job. However, it has been observed in only 5% of the cases.
As XedScore is a free & open platform, Recruiters get best students if they hire early. They will also have access to a larger student base to hire from. Currently, we’re not charging recruiters.
By July’13, we will have a Database of 1,000 Candidates and by Oct’13 we would have scores of 5,000 students. As and when candidates are placed, they move out of the database. Whenever, new candidates are evaluated they would be added to the database.
XedScore will be unsuccessful if we cheat our customers i.e. students. Manipulating the scores will also mean cheating with the Recruiters, who will stop using XedScore if the scores do not match with their assessment. However, to ensure more transparency, we’ve different training and assessment teams.
The company which hires first naturally has an advantage. It’s an open market and students and recruiters can interact through other platforms also.
Job sites provide only CVs and do not assess students on key employability areas like Communication Skills, Psychometric, Aptitude, Domain, Current Affairs & Sector Knowledge.
We are a niche recruitment company serving only the needs of b-school students. Hence, we are focused and provide quality student database rather than quantity. Our engagement with students is throughout the year hence we believe our assessments are more accurate than others.
The student won’t be shortlisted after he accepts one offer.
