With the ONS Stats due out tomorrow, founders of new website, www.staffbay.com, a revolutionary, interactive and fully on-line recruitment platform, are encouraging candidates not to be disheartened by the unemployment figures and to think of other roles where their skills could be invaluable.
Tony Wilmot/Elliot Kidd commented “It’s easy to get disheartened with so much negative press focusing on the state of the jobs’ market at the moment, but candidates need to be given the opportunity to diversify from their current roles. A candidate’s experience may only be in one industry sector but the skills from this role may also be transferable to other jobs too. For example, an office administrator or receptionist may have great people and organisational skills, which are also crucial in roles in the retail or sales sectors.
“Often employers place too much emphasis on the previous role a candidate has held and not enough on the competencies they need for that role. Employers and recruiters need to start thinking about ways to utilise skills from outside their industry, it may mean they can provide a fresh insight into the company.”
Staffbay.com enables candidates to upload a “CMe” instead of a CV, with video, personal profiles and certificates. This allows greater searchability for employers to connect the right candidate to the right job and enables employers and candidates to interact online throughout the complete recruitment process, from initial introduction through to checking references, job offer and acceptance.
