candidate in early stages. Using Stride Ahead, I was able to find the
right candidates with relevant skill sets with so much ease. I will
recommend their pre-screening tool for all growing organisations.”

Saurabh Gupta
CEO, Verismart.ai
“Hiring has become a less costly,
more efficient and extremely
smart process with Stride Ahead.
AI-based digital profiling allows
us to take our picks with no
confusion. Kudos to the team.”
Harsh Patodia
COO, Askiitians
“I would say that Stride Ahead has the
best-in-class closed community of students
and Mentors to interact and network for
career enhancement. They conduct “Career
hour” every Friday and it shaped my career
in many rewarding ways.“
Shubhangi Misra
Dev Ops Engineer, Ericsson
“ I aspired to be a Business Analyst but didn’t know
where to start. Especially since I was from a tier-2
college. Stride Ahead not only helped me prepare for
the job role but acquire the required skills and get my
first job as a Business Analyst.”
Himanshu Singh
Business Analyst, NOI
“ Being a fresher from an Engineering
College I had no clue about starting as
a Digital Marketing Professional. Stride
Ahead Explore helped me prepare for
the journey with personalized learning
content while their network helped me
start off with a decent package.”
