Mirror Mirror On the Wall
Who is the fairest of them all? Or at least who is the best positioned to fit into the company culture, positively impact the company’s bottom line and contribute to the company’s growth, welfare and competitiveness? A question many a hopeful jobseeker has on their minds as they diligently piece together what they hope is a competitive CV and many a flustered employer has on his mind as he logs onto a leading job site and searches for the next star candidate. One thing is for sure, with the vast databases, state-of-the-art filtering tools and regional industry experts employers have at their disposal through multi-platform recruitment companies such as www.bayt.com, they are better equipped than ever before to make informed decisions and to make these decisions quickly, accurately and cost-effectively.
Candidate sourcing has been made fast, easy and cost-effective with advent of on-line recruitment companies and the landscape for employers has forever changed. Employers today, firmly in the drivers seat, are able to filter directly and instantly by as many 19 criteria on a site like www.bayt.com and can narrow down their candidates by age, education, experience, qualifications, skills and a host of other criteria instantaneously using important ‘keyword’ filteration tools. Gone are the days where after months of creative, cumbersome (and costly) sourcing activities employers were lucky to find a few candidates who met some if not all of their search criteria. Today, with megadollars invested in plumping up databases in every industry and at every career level on leading regional job sites and similar fortunes spent on further advancing already state-of-the-art filteration tools, finding not just relevant talent but top talent is all in a day’s work.
What does this mean for your average jobseeker? In this highly competitive and information-overloaded job market, they need to respond by making sure their CVs are comprehensive, competitive, presentable, can be held up to close professional scrutiny, and ON-LINE! With rich regional databases at their disposal, many leading employers will recruit for key positions on-line without ever advertising. To tap into this vast hidden job market, jobseekers must have their CVs on-line, optimized for on-line keyword searches relevant to their industry and if possible sanity checked by a professional.
With 25,000 employers (many of them leading recruitment companies) recruiting on a regional powerhouse like www.bayt.com, often for unadvertised positions, not having your CV on-line is closing the door on literally a universe of opportunity. Who is the fairest of them all? With the right keywords and well-articulated skills on your on-line CV it could well be you
