With the present decline in the gas and oil industry along with the
recent trend for pay offs and pay cuts, a vast majority of individuals
are looking for better prospects. The down turn has resulted in fewer
jobs but more people looking for work. It’s a difficult situation for
recruiters, now more than ever they are being inundated with CV’s from
potential candidates. Recruiters work loads are increasing at a time
when they themselves are trying to cut costs. It is difficult for
recruiters to cut costs as there is lots of administration work
associated with registering new candidates and from reading through
masses of CV’s received for the few vacancies that they have.
The
oil and gas market is already showing signs of recovery fueled by the
rising oil price and the announcement of new discoveries and prospects,
in countries where the doors have traditionally been closed to foreign
oil companies. Recruiters don’t want to be turning candidates away when
they could have hundreds of vacancies to fill in a few months time.
So
how do recruiters cut costs? Traditionally most recruitment companies
rely on job boards to find candidates. The current model these sites
follow sees a job being posted and candidates asked to send their CV in
response. With so many people desperately looking for work these sites
make it easy for anyone to send there CV. More often than not most of
the CV’s received are irrelevant with the individual not even meeting
the basic requirements for the position! It creates lots of unnecessary
work for recruiters as each application has to be reviewed manually and
logged in their system. The irony is that these recruitment sites
charge vast amounts of money for job posts and access to their
candidate database. They do very little to assist with the reduction in
a recruiters workload and can add to fruitless time wasting and
frustration on the recruiters part.
Recruiters now more than
ever are turning to their own databases to find candidates. This
however presents another problem, keeping an in house database up to
date is near impossible! How do recruiters know which candidates are
actually looking for work?? Lots of time is spent cold calling
potential candidates and sending emails. It’s a lengthy process that
not only takes time but costs a great deal of money, employees time has
to be budgeted for, plus international calls soon amount to huge phone
bills. End case scenario is that you will end up paying to place the
position on a job site anyway, as a result of your own candidate
database failing to produce the match required for the vacancy. This in
effect doubles the cost and could see you loosing the position as most
companies now use more than one recruitment company. Speed in finding
candidates is essential.
So what’s the solution? How about a
site where recruiters can post oil and gas jobs for free? A site where
suitable candidates can be automatically matched to positions and
recruiters can view their matches for free? A site that offers a better
solution and solves all of the above problems while offering a better
service to candidates…
