While analysing the resume searches being conducted in Resdex, we observed that some of the searches were being done on keywords like "fresher", "MBA fresher" etc. It was fairly obvious that the intent was to search for people with no work experience.

So, this search might miss out on a fairly large number of relevant candidates whose resumes did not contain the specified... Read More
