Deccan Herald’s Jobs Portal Is Live

By Nikhil Pahwa - Fri 02 Feb 2007 12:13 AM PST

Deccan Herald’s jobs portal DHAvenues is live, but still under development. I spoke to D.B. Dutta, VP Marketing and Circulation, Deccan Herald Group about their plans. For starters, they’re looking to port jobs from their newspaper to the website. For a short period of time, they have allowed consultants to post jobs on the site for free, and will subsequently offer listing of jobs on subscription. He feels that there is room for more job portals in the market, and especially since they can do cross promotions. A marketing campaign is planned, but first they need to finish developing the site. I’m just wondering if there’s anyone considering a niche jobs portal, like one only for BPO where the attrition rates are infamously high.

    i hope Sarathy’s inability to make sense with the name of the portal is now over.

    dhavenues=deccanherald avenues , wow nice invention dijeesh, But still its a bad domain., You and me know dhavenues=deccanherald avenues , I knew it only after reading it from this site,
    But a jobseeker, will read it only as “D-H-Avenues”

    Atleast, they should secure dhavenue.com (typo of dhavenues.com), to fish the typo visitors

    Seems like dhavenue.com has been booked after my post., Good move!

    The DH Avenues link in the Deccan Herald home page still shows co-branded content from Naukri. I agree with some of the points made by Sarathy. Sarathy is an SEM (Search Engine Marketer) with Bharat Matrimony group and was instrumental in acquiring their Job Portal Domain NAme.
    I registered the DHAVenue.com on DH’s behalf and pointed to DHAvenues.com
