Accel Partners launches new job portal

Venture capitalist firm Accel Partners India has launched a new job portal for its portfolio companies.

The portal allows job-seekers to apply directly to an Indian start-up through its Web site Acceljobs.in.

Accel has more than 40 companies in its portfolio across areas as diverse as internet, mobile, cloud/SaaS, healthcare and education.

“I often meet mid- to senior-level executives who are looking to join exciting start-ups but don’t have a direct way of connecting with the start-up ecosystem. Likewise, a number of start-ups are looking to bring on high-quality talent to take them to the next level. Acceljobs.in is aimed at addressing this gap,” said Mr Subrata Mitra from Accel Partners.

Acceljobs.in will also link up with social networking websites and start-up forums to address job seekers.

In India, Accel has invested in Babyoye, Cnergyis, enStage, Deeksha(Ace), Exclusively.in, Flipkart, Forus, FreshDesk, HealthcareMagic, Kaatizone, Letsbuy, MuSigma, Myntra, Perfint, QwikCilver, Sconce, Vinculum and Virident.
