Mint talks about first time recruiters at IIMs this year. Some of them are concerned that eventhough students have accepted the offers, they may not turn up when the joining date comes in May.

Tarun Matta, who graduated from IIM-I in 2003 and recently quit his day job to nurture iimjobs.com, a portal for job seekers, said that IIM graduates are under “loads of pressure to land good jobs” and many of them would have accepted offers simply to let their school complete the placement process.iimjobs.com has 25-30 resumes from fresh IIM graduates, indicating they are in the market for new jobs, even after all the six IIMs declared placements closed. Matta expects job portals to get more popular because of this churn.

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

Fred Wilson talks about the recent bit.ly funding

But just because something is simple to build doesn’t mean it won’t be a good venture capital investment. I’ve heard many people say they could build twitter in a weekend. I don’t doubt it. But twitter is more than code, it’s a popular communications service and an API that thousands of developers have built upon……………..

What is critically important is an active user base that is engaged and getting a lot of value out of the service. And on that count, bit.ly is doing very well.

Thats how I also look at building iimjobs.com, which is built using open source software - Joomla, from technology standpoint.

The value is in how we use existing technology to solve a real consumer problem for a segment thats not being addressed by the bigger players

Ahmedabad Mirror talks about fresh MBA graduates from premier business schools uploading resumes on iimjobs.com

“The rise in the number of applicants on our website shows that the students are clearly looking for better job opportunities,” says Tarun Matta, founder of iimjobs.com

It also dicusses the plight of students pursuing MBA from foreign business schools, struggling to land a good job under current economic meltdown

“They are the ones facing the heat of the global meltdown, the most. The economy is in shambles in developed countries. Many of the students have taken huge loans and are really worried about getting a job. As many as 200 such students have also applied on our portal,” says Matta.

Economic Times talks about Fresh MBA graduates posting their resumes on iimjobs.com

The number of IIM students tapping job sites such as TimesJobs, Naukri and IIMjobs have doubled in the last few weeks, according to the webmasters that ET spoke to. Some are even signing up for the supplementary services that they offer to build better resumes, a first for IIM graduates, say portal managers.

“It’s a counter intuitive step. This shows a dent in confidence levels. Unlike other years when recruiters were fighting for top slots, this year students are under pressure to get decent jobs,” says Tarun Matta, founder of iimjobs.com, an online job site.
