New opportunities: Job portal signs online assessment deal

British Council, Rozee.pk aim to integrate online placement tests

LAHORE: The British Council in Pakistan and Naseeb Networks, the parent body of Rozee.pk, have joined hands to develop potential framework for employee assessment.

A memorandum of understanding was signed between the British Council and Naseeb Networks Inc at the British Council’s Lahore library on Saturday. The ceremony was attended by Naseeb Networks CEO Monis Rahman, Punjab British Council Area Director Kevin McLaven and other senior British Council staff, a press release stated.

With an increasingly competitive job industry in Pakistan, the organisations aim to integrate British Council’s online placement tests on Rozee.pk’s web portal to provide world-class assessments to employers to assess potential candidates.

Pakistan’s Examinations Services Director Hasan Khattak said the arrangement would ensure the availability of a global standard of assessments for employers and employees alike, thereby elevating quality and consistency of testing across various sectors in Pakistan.

The Naseeb Networks CEO said this partnership was the first of its kind in Pakistan and aimed at revolutionising the job industry in Pakistan.

“Integrating British Council’s high-quality online placement tests on Rozee.pk’s web portal will not only ensure that employers can tap into the best talent in Pakistan but essentially will raise the profile of Pakistan’s job industry,” Monis added.
