It's hip to be fair

We created this project with two types of user's in mind; jobseekers and employers. We aim to be the first, fully liberalised, pro-employment job search site. And so, aside from helping jobseekers maximise their presence in the global employment market, we also help employers maximise their resources.

The objective is to be fair. To be fair for employers when it comes to recruitment and help them drastically reduce their recruitment costs.

Why should we be fair for employers, and how do we reduce their recruitment costs?

Since time immemorial, employers have been solely initiating the recruitment process. Whenever they need to look for new staff/personnel, they initiate job postings, contact agents, work with talent handlers, hunters, etc. This leads to them incurring huge recruitment costs. With this site, we give them a fair deal by making jobseekers equally involved in the entire process.

As mentioned in the earlier post, we openly showcase jobseeker profiles. Unlike other job search sites, our project does not hide essential information about jobseekers (i.e., contact information) so that employers can directly communicate with potential candidates they deem fit for the posts they have available.

We are the only website who does this. We do not sell jobseeker profiles per piece/batch to employers. Employers get FREE UNLIMITED ACCESS to our Jobseeker profile database once they register as members.

This database searching usually cost employers more than a couple of thousand dollars, but with our innovative site, since jobseekers are already advertising themselves, they do not have to pay any amount just to browse through some of your resumes. In this site, jobseekers can literally be seen by any employer who key in qualifications that match theirs.

Our project also offers employers the ability to D.I.Y. their recruitment needs. They can post their advertisements anytime, without having to contact any point person, as we provide a user-friendly interface they can manipulate to customise their ads. If they need to post an ad first thing Monday morning, they can do it even late Sunday night (in case they forgot to have it posted before the weekend or has just made the decision to post an ad at the last minute).

They also get the best deals as ad postings start at a token of S$1 (SINGAPORE DOLLAR ONE) only. This is the lowest advertising rate they can avail of in any classifieds page today (in all mediums available.

Plus, they don't have to worry about agent and commission fees in their recruitment with this site. And for sure, the candidates they'd see in the database are those eager, proactive and determined as our jobseeker members are the lot that actually does something to land a job.

By giving them these advantages, we attract more employer membership. This benefits jobseekers in turn, because more employer members only mean more job ads. It's a win-win deal for all.

It's cool to be fair.
