BANGALORE: Homo sapiens are getting dependent on the world of technologies in the blink of an eye. This rapidly growing dependency is also the reason behind increasing socializing trends which in turn has given rise to a new section in the society called the ‘techno-socialites’. Recruiters for different jobs prefer these newbies’.

Few tech-forums have provided a platform for these techno-socialites to bag jobs from online discussion in leading companies that are in search for prospective employees, reports The Economic Times.

"Increasingly there are no set Job Descriptions (JDs). Today, hiring is happening primarily through networks including online forums, discussion platforms and knowing the candidate's skill-sets and profile through his/her contributions on these forums," said Ramesh Subramanian, global delivery head, Blue Star Infotech, spoke at a boardroom discussion that took place at a tech-forum.

This has resulted in companies searching for this new section of people namely, techno-socialites.

A techno-socialite

There isn’t any specific definition for this kind of a person, however, we can say that a techno-socialite person is active on tech-forums, takes part in the purposeful discussions enthusiastically, with a decent track record and network, along with an influential personality.

The above mentioned traits are applicable for business expansion.

"While it is true that the techno-socialite is also someone who is a gadget freak, but the ones targeted by companies whether they be in the product or services sector are those that are able to put extensive use of their online social skills and connections to either raise funds or enable business inroads," says HR-head of Alpha Masco, Suresh Paul.
