WisdomCircle is a unique senior citizen job portal that helps organisations hire retired professionals. The way we operate is very different from how other job boards function. The following article highlights how WisdomCircle is different from the other job boards.

• Purpose of WisdomCircle

At its core, WisdomCircle is redefining retirement and has a vision to be the world’s largest wisdom marketplace. The world is progressively getting older, and with the advancement in healthcare, people are living longer and healthier lives. WisdomCircle is working to change the narrative around retirement and make sure that they reach their full potential. The intellectual stimulation that retirees get by working after fifty also helps in keeping diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s at bay. 

• Unique Talent Pool

WisdomCircle works exclusively with people above the age of 50 who have a lifetime of experience. They are referred to as the Wisdom Generation or WisGen on the platform. This is a very niche and concentrated talent pool, which is the largest of its kind in India. Often overlooked, WisdomCircle is disrupting the recruitment space and giving recruiters access to hundreds or thousands of WisGen who are eager to rejoin the workforce. 

• A customer-first organisation 

Our beneficiaries, both the WisGen and the recruiters are at the core of what we do. We have built our product keeping in mind both the WisGen. We work closely with both target groups to better the user experience on the platform.  

• Quick Turnaround Time

Our turnaround time can be as short as six days from the time the job opportunity is posted on the platform. This is due to several factors:

• AI Recommendations: We have an inbuilt AI tool that matches the job postings on the platform to the skills and experience of the candidates in the talent pool and gives 25 of the best matches. Recruiters can send them invites to apply for the opportunity. 
• Organic Applications: We currently have a database of more than 57,000 WisGen who are increasing by the hundreds every day, who see the job opportunities and apply for the ones that are relevant to them.
• Sourcing Team: We have a dedicated Sourcing team that helps with the sourcing of the candidates, especially for the more niche and industry-specific roles. This Execution team has a combined executive search experience of more than 75 years and does multi-channel sourcing to get you the right candidate.  
• Screening of profiles: The applications are screened on the basis of location, skills, etc. and only the most relevant ones are shared with the recruiter. 

All these efforts culminate in the recruiter getting relevant profiles 2-3 days after posting the job opportunity on the platform.

• Chat with WisGen

Recruiters have a hassle-free option of chatting with the applicants on the platform. They can initiate the conversation, set up interviews, and send assignments to the applicants without having to exit the platform.

• Candidate Verification

We offer verification services through a third-party vendor to WisGen on the platform. This gives them a blue tick profile and ensures the credibility and validity of the candidate. Verification services are also available for the candidates that the recruiter finalises.

• Psychometric Test for WisGen

There is a scientifically researched, gamified psychometric test designed by Arya Play for WisdomCircle that places WisGen into Turtle types depending on their personality. This gives the recruiter a better idea of their personality and working style. This makes the decision to hire a particular candidate easier.

• WisGen Introductory Video

WisGen have the option of recording a one-minute Video Introduction which gives the recruiter an insight into the candidate’s life, hobbies, experience, etc. It also helps them gauge the communication and articulation skills of the candidate which may not be apparent in the candidate’s profile.

• Giving Organisations a Chance to Become Disruptors 

In addition to getting access to an exceptional talent pool, partner organisations also get to be an active part of a revolution to redefine retirement and take a stand for DEI and multigenerational workforces. They are advocates of making retirement a choice for both present and future generations. Partnership with WisdomCircle transcends the business sphere and fosters a strong social connection.  

Conclusion:

As evidenced above, WisdomCircle is not just another job board. We give recruiters access to WisGen who have decades of experience and are enthusiastic about giving back to society by helping other companies grow. The quick turnaround time coupled with verification of profiles, video introduction of WisGen, and psychometric evaluation are just some of the other ways in which we are distinctive. And at the heart of it all, we are changemakers.
