Simply Hired, the vertical search engine company launches their operations in India at www.simplyhired.co.in. Simply Hired is a job aggregator and will ensure that you do not miss a single opportunity that may exist. Simply Hired is one of the first job aggregators globally and I am glad that they have started to focus on India.
SimplyHired has also started their operations in Canada, UK and Australia along with India. In a press release, Gautam Godhwani, Co-founder and CEO of Simply Hired quoted
“The launch of these websites is an integral part of Simply Hired’s effort to expand our mission in building the largest worldwide job search engine, we want to continue making the job search process a positive experience globally and leverage the successful business model we have built in the U.S.”
I wish Gautam the very best in achieving his mission !

Niresh,
1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.
Thanks

Hi Kyle,
Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. Your line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion

Hi Niresh,
My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager’s discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.
Thanks
