14/05/2008 - Welcome RECRUITadvantage 2nd newsletter
Welcome to our 2nd newsletter, in this issue we will cover new products and some exciting news on the job boards space.
Product News
As you are most likely aware, we are in the process of developing new modules to the turbo suite of products. These modules are designed to improve the candidate and recruiter experience. We are introducing two products:
1. turboSURVEY, an online tool that can facilitate survey and questionnaire creation, distribution and reporting.
2. turboVOICE, the latest in voice technology is used for high volume recruitment, targeted campaigns with 24/7 interactive hotlines (employment related), allowing you to conduct automated screening over the telephone line, including the ability to capture voice responses from candidates. To find our more about turboVOICE please call 02 8484 5855 to listen and participate in a demonstration.
Job Boards
One area that keeps us very busy is the introduction of new job boards locally and internationally as well as keeping up to date with all the new products and features being released by existing job boards.
Our business model hasn’t changed in this space. Our relationship with jobs boards is to act as a facilitator, which allows us to work effectively and objectively across multiple industries and markets. You keep your commercial relationship with the job boards intact and we take care of the postings for you.
Sourcing is one of our clients’ biggest challenges, and we are committed to adding more and more job boards and other alternative sourcing channels to our platform on an ongoing basis.
Numerous reports out there indicate that the job board market in Australia, New Zealand, the US, and the UK, among other important markets, is softening in terms of ads posted to online job boards. We have seen an incredible number of new job boards coming online over the last 12-18 months. “With the job market softening a bit, we expect the number of new job boards trend to ease and who knows, perhaps we will see some consolidation on the incredible number of job boards operating today in the global job market” states Jafeth Rodriguez, Chief Innovation Officer for RECRUITadvantage
