Our Concept

Job shortage.

There is a huge shortage of jobs globally. More than 200 million people are unemployed (2013) according to the ILO (International Labor Organization) and hence the only real way to get a job today for a job seekers to get exposure of their CVs via digital/online methods. Recruiting the best candidates is critical to any company's success today and many exciting tools have been created to help companies/recruiters find and source the key talent, however choosing the most suitable tool to meet an organization's specific needs can become a tricky and time consuming job for employers.

Options.

There are lots of options to source candidates these days - either through social media, or different job boards, referrals, agencies or with the help of ATS systems. There are more devices connected to the Internet than there are people, 40% of people interact/socialize more online than they do face-to-face, 100 000 tweets are sent, 2 million queries are searched on Google and 684 478 pieces of content are shared on Facebook every minute. Therefore, through social media, employers can reach candidates faster and at a lower cost as opposed to employment/recruitment agencies.

Employers search for candidates.

To date, more than 16 000 companies pay to use online search system to search for talent. It's a bit like a two-way mirror where companies and recruiters can secretly see all profile information. The list includes big names like Google, Facebook, Unilever, BP, and L'Oreal, amongst thousands of other large, medium and small business and recruiting firms. On-line systems already offers several unique features that are incredibly hard for companies to build or find elsewhere: a giant data set of more than 200 million users and growing, a way to engage passive employees, and the ability to build career branding around a company.

The problem we solve.

Employers call today's job market a War for Talent. It signals a change in the way they hire.
Employers are no longer making offers to people who can do the job. They are looking for those who will do more and can prove it. Qualifications and work experience are not sufficient to secure a position. Work demand far exceeds available positions. General recruitment agencies are overloaded with job applications. Recruiters' workload has now reached monumental levels. Employers have hired fewer recruiters than at any time in decades, and they're working on 4.4 million or more open jobs. It's no longer uncommon for a single recruiter to be assigned dozens of open positions at the same time.

How long they view your CV.

On average, a recruiter will spend about six seconds reviewing an applicant's CV. Applying for a new placement via a regular recruitment company has become a viable proposition for the select few. According to the latest research figures, only 3% of candidate's CVs are viewed by employers. It is a very cut throat, crowded and competitive environment and does not accommodate our current target market.

How we solve this problem.

Due to our unique Personnel Marketing Concept, we assist this segment of the population by making them more marketable via CV preparation and submission, completing applications and linking them with international companies.
