VEN Consulting: The Virtual Bench that Saves All

Separator
The days of traditional employment seems disappearing in the thick. Projects & Engineering companies are always driven by highly niche skilled manpower. India in the last decade has moved-on eventually from the traditional, conventional job market to need-based, skill-specific employee engagement without an additional headcount liability. Especially the companies who hire uncountable employees during project execution, face the challenge of either moving the extra employees on bench and bear the burn, or fire them post project completion. This in-turn affects the brand value of the companies. Additionally, there are various setbacks in a project like the mobilization of resource, attrition and performance management. Understanding these challenges, VEN Consulting India Pvt. Ltd. has come-up with a unique concept of virtual bench, where it hires skill-specific talent from various industries and depute them to its clients as per the need. On project completion, they are either assigned to new clients, or placed on the virtual bench for further engagement on newer project.

VEN Consulting provides sector-specific skilled candidates of any volume within 15 days in the most remote project site location across India in the sectors of Oil & Gas, Energy, Automotive, Construction, Infrastructure and Pharma. This distinct methodology not only bestows enterprises with project precise skill-set within shortest turnaround time, but also keeps resources engaged throughout their career. Recently, the firm has engaged 170 resources within a month’s time for Rural Electrification Project – Saubhagya in remote location of UP. “We have earlier operated as a recruitment company catering to 350+ companies across India and Middle East. This built our virtual bench of over 12,00,000 skilled candidatures, and gave us better understanding of the problems faced by various industries in terms of sector transformation, job trends, Employee behaviour and Employer’s challenges across the geographies, culture and sectors,” avers Sucheta Gour, Director - Operations, VEN Consulting.

A Boon for Industry
VEN Consulting being the first-of-its-kind focuses on technical skill-set across the industry and aligns to the sector in which its employees possess knowledge and professional expertise. Over the years, skills have turned-out to be extremely specific, but the engagement duration for these resources are turning-out to be shorter due to the same reason. The company has successfully implemented the model of ‘Plug & Perform’ across the Industry. “The urgency of the demand for the right resource at the right time in any project is as on yesterday. And with increasing population and advancement in technology, all the sectors will have a huge demand for skill-specific resources for the project duration which VEN Consulting is capable of fulfilling,” adds Sucheta.
