Inside guide for jobseekers

[ottg]

Here is a business that is recognising the frustration and plead of jobseekers with transferable skills but struggle to get employment. They link jobseekers and employers

See Mineblogger - Inside Guide

They assist employers to become comfortable with the idea of blogging or posting messages and engaging with candidates in bite sizes and in a less formal sense. They create a hub for employers only (no agencies) and where candidates don’t have to search every careers page – it’s all there at their fingertips. They say Industry are moving away from SEEK because it’s too full of agencies. If you click on now, only 10% of the nearly 5,000 oil, gas and mining jobs are posted by employers. The problem is then, there is no aggregated location for all direct employer opportunities. That is just one of the gaps they fill. The idea of the blog is to provide the background story to the job opportunity. As an industry, they are extremely poor at communicating the real story to candidates.

This business owner was the Manager Recruitment at a very large mining giant and become extremely frustrated:

a. that she couldn’t quickly and effectively communicate when they were doing roadshows,

b. how many applications were received and why so many wouldn’t have got a shot,

c. what specific projects were underway in our organisation etc.

d. found trying to change the average careers webpage is nearly impossible for large organisations.

Hope this helps you!
