Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Friday launched a dedicated 'job portal', aiming at bringing together a common platform for aspirants and employers.

The portal will seek to provide 75 per cent employment of local candidates in the state's private sector, he said.

"The portal will help in better monitoring. With this, our effort to ensure 75 per cent of jobs to local people in private firms will get strength," the chief minister told reporters. Through the portal, the government will try to provide a platform to the employers and candidates looking for employment, Soren said. It has been designed by the Department of Labour, Employment, Training and Skill Development.

Employers can share information about business, manpower and vacancy on the portal, while job aspirants can post their applications by registering themselves, an official release said.

The employers, who make use of the portal, will have to adhere to the Jharkhand State Employment of Local Candidates in Private Sector Act, 2021.

The act applies to shops, establishments, mines, enterprises, industries, companies, societies, trusts, limited liability partnership firms, partnership firms and any person employing 10 or more people in the private sector, the official added.
