CareerJunction launches iTalent

CareerJunction announces iTalent, a new business unit that will address the recruitment technology needs of Corporate South Africa.

A growing number of companies already use online recruitment to their advantage as they realise the significance of being able to leverage the power of their corporate brand together with the reach of the Internet to better attract top-quality candidates and to enable them to manage both their internal and external recruitment processes more efficiently. ìThese companies are claiming considerable savings in their time and cost of hire and huge increases in the number of quality responses that they receive to their online Job Ads,î says Kris Jarzebowksi, MD of CareerJunction.

Research indicates that 94% of Fortune 500 Companies already recruit online and, in South Africa the trend to develop an online recruitment strategy is growing rapidly. ìAs a result, there is an increasing need from Corporate South Africa for customised Information Technology Recruitment Solutions,î says Jarzebowski.

Jarzebowski explains that iTalent has been created to specifically cater for the growing requirement for customised corporate recruitment technology and will provide online software solutions that addresses the needs of Corporate intranet and own website recruitment processes

ìCareerJunction is developing an entirely new technology for iTalent and will make these technology solutions available to the corporate market through a Reseller Programme as well as directly through iTalent,î says Jarzebowski.

iTalent was officially announced last week at breakfast functions held in Johannesburg and Cape Town. These were well attended by top South African Companies as well as the licensed resellers of the iTalent technology.

iTalent can already offer a variety of scaleable online recruitment solutions ranging from intranet and own website offerings to services through which companies can advertise vacancies via iTalent on the CareerJunction website. With a proper understanding of a companyís requirements, iTalent can scale a solution to meet most corporate requirements.

In addition to the provision of technology, iTalent also provides an independent, non-product related professional Assessment service that is designed to assist companies in making a successful transition from a traditional recruitment methodology to an online recruitment solution. ìThis Assessment Service will be extremely valuable to companies that want to understand the benefits of online recruitment before rushing in to purchasing a technologyî explains Jarzebowski.
