HotLizard and Careers24
are proud to announce the launch of the latest version of www.careers24.com.
Established in 2005,
Careers24 is a specialist online recruitment site that predominantly targets
recruiters and candidates based in South Africa. HotLizard has been delivering award
winning job
board software and recruitment
website design for over 11 years. So, when Careers24 decided to launch a
new version of the job board, it was HotLizard they approached with the
opportunity to act as their technology partner.
The new www.careers24.com site has been delivered
using the latest version of HotLizard’s proven Gecko Job Board Software
technology. The site offers all of the usual features expected from a Job Board
such as Job Search, CV Search, Job Posting, Banner Advertising and Job / CV
Alerts, as well as advanced features to really give www.careers24.com the edge over its competitors. These more unique features include
microsites, a quick registration option for candidates, a mobile version of the
site, intelligent search and match technology and automated CV parsing.
Sarah Fielding, Project Manager at HotLizard comments:
It is projects like
Careers24.com that really allow HotLizard to utilise its consultative and
creative approach. HotLizard has been able to further demonstrate its
flexibility but offering Careers24 the opportunity to own the source code and
host the site internally. The project has been a great success and we’ve had
fantastic feedback since it has gone live. During the project we built a strong
relationship with the team that we plan to continue ongoing.
In an ever increasing competitive
market, Careers24 understand the importance of offering a compelling product through
the use of superior technology and by introducing innovative ways to maximise
the volume and quality of the traffic to the site. Careers24 is part of
Africa’s largest media company, the Naspers
Group. As a result of this relationship they have the advantage of being
able to distribute jobs across a network of sites within the group including News24.com, MWEB and Kalahariads.net.
It is this level of exposure and the attention to detail invested in the job
board functionality that has resulted in Careers24 generating in the region of 400
000 registered candidates.
Tim Gregory, General Manager at Careers24 comments:
When I joined Careers24 in
early 2010 it was clear that our existing platform was in need of a major
overhaul. We looked to more competitive job board markets for a technology
partner, and after speaking to a number of potential vendors in the US and UK
we selected HotLizard to build a new platform for us on top of their proven
Gecko technology. The approach was highly collaborative, and HotLizard
successfully worked with the Careers24 team to realise our wishes for our new
platform. We’ve had fantastic support from HotLizard in migrating to our new
platform and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with the HotLizard team again.
