Looking to provide an online platform for non-resident Indians (NRIs) seeking employment in their home country, Monster.com on Thursday launched a new job portal.

The new website 'Return2Home' would be mainly for NRI job seekers from the US, UK, Canada, Gulf and South East Asia, who are looking for employment opportunities in India.

Monster.com's internal research found there was about 65 per cent growth in the traffic of job-seekers from outside India between January and December 2010.

"(Around) 74 per cent of the respondents were planning to return to India eventually or have already done so, indicating the rising interest of NRIs in their homeland," it said in a statement on Thursday.
