The pandemic has caused many businesses to downsize or shut down completely, leaving lakhs of people across the country, without jobs. Even though Unlock 3.0 is underway, several businesses and factory owners are unable to start work because most of the workforce migrated away from the city to their hometowns or villages. To bridge this gap, many state governments, and private organisations have launched free job portals which will help employers and workers connect.

Here are 10 job portals that can be accessed to apply for work:

MahaJobs Portal

MahaJobs is a joint venture between the Department of Industries, Department of Labour, and Skill Development-Entrepreneurship of the Government of Maharashtra to connect job seekers with employers.

Job seekers can apply to 17 sectors through the portal, including engineering, logistic, textile, and pharmaceuticals. Skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled candidates can apply for jobs by entering their details on the portal, which can be accessed by employers and industries.

Rozgaar Bazaar

To revive Delhi’s economy, the government has launched a platform connecting job-seekers and employers, who have to register their contact details, through phone or WhatsApp.

COVID-19 Free Job Forum

What started as an experiment to simplify the job marketplace for job seekers and job givers, turned into a social initiative to help out those who have lost their jobs during the pandemic. Two entrepreneurs, Suyash Jain and Rajat Agarwal have created a detailed google form that collects information about job seekers and providers.

The form is uploaded to their LinkedIn page and can be accessed for free by both parties. Currently, there are more than 500 recruiters as part of their initiative.

A group of engineering students and industry professionals led by professors from the Indian Institute of Sciences Bhubaneswar, have developed a cross-platform application to help migrant workers find jobs in different parts of the country.

According to an article by The New Indian Express, once the data of the migrants are stored, the group plans to share the same with recruiters and the State Government.

The website is available in multiple languages, and you can register here. Once you have registered you will receive an enrollment ID which can be used to check the status of your application.

Two graduates of NIT Rourkela have developed a portal to help workers who have migrated to different parts of the country find new jobs. According to a news article, the duo has also gathered a team of 20 volunteers to help workers with the online registration process.
