These are the databases which are provided to the prospective employers to shortlist the candidates depending upon their specific skill sets.

While designing the curriculum for Reskilling and Upskilling programs, the job-specific requirements for the program are kept in mind. Hence the employers are ensured that the Premium and Platinum Database contains 100% valid and authentic profiles of the candidates who are properly tuned as per their requirements for a specific job position.

For how much time a profile may remain active in the Job Ready Portal?

Generally, the profiles registered with GradFirst remain active for a period of one year. For extending this duration, the candidate should request GradFirst using Profile Reactivation Request Form.
