Amazon India on September 26 announced that it has signed an MoU with the Ministry of Labour and Employment (Ministry) to utilise the National Career Service (NCS) portal of the Ministry for facilitating posting of available work opportunities at Amazon and its staffing agencies.

This partnership will enable job seekers across India to view such working opportunities and also help Amazon India and its staffing agencies to post job openings and source candidates from the NCS portal. This will also enable jobseekers, who have registered on the NCS portal, to smoothly search and apply for the relevant opportunities available at Amazon.

Amazon is the first e-commerce company to collaborate with the Ministry of Labour and Employment for the NCS portal. This partnership aims to connect aspiring individuals with career prospects that match their skills and qualifications, the official release stated.

Through this, the jobseekers registered on the NCS portal will be able to explore and apply for a wide variety of job roles across Amazon’s corporate offices and operations network that align with their skills and aspirations.

Access to NCS’s extensive database will enable Amazon and its staffing agencies to source candidate profiles more effectively and hire them for roles across the country. The company and its staffing agencies can hire for a range of employee and associate cohorts including women and persons with disabilities.

In financial year 2024, the total number of registered job seekers on the NCS portal stood at over 87 lakh, Amazon claimed.

“We commend Amazon India for becoming a valued partner in this endeavor and integrating with the National Career Service portal. This collaboration will go a long way in increasing the visibility of work opportunities at Amazon, aligning with our vision of a pan-India one-stop portal that effectively connects employers with candidates. With Amazon’s array of roles and their commitment to nurturing talent, we are confident that this synergy will unlock new employment opportunities for the youth of the country,” said Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Labour & Employment and Youth Affairs & Sports.
