First online recruitment mall launched in SA

The mall will allow recruiters to select a product offering which suits their individual business size and recruitment requirements, further enabling them to advertise a vacancy or purchase a CV online immediately, with no annual subscription. This flexibility will particularly benefit SMEs - with over 1 000 000 SMEs in the country, this product will fill a significant gap in the market. Jenni van der Merwe, Business Manager of Careers24, says that many SMEs will benefit by saving on online subscription fees. "With Careers24Mall, the recruiter designs his or her recruitment solution in accordance with their exact requirements and can buy a singular job vacancy advertisement or packages of a minimum of 50 CVs which have been carefully filtered to match the specified job profile. The Career Seeker database is updated every three months and notified to authorise the release of their CVs once a recruiter has shown interest, meaning that recruiters will never find inactive CVs on the database. This gives the employer an excellent chance of finding a suitable, screened and interested employee." She said that the service would supplement Careers24's existing offerings and make use of mobile and other technology. "We'll keep in touch with both recruiters and job seekers through regular sms or email updates. Security and privacy are also priorities, so that personal information is safe and hacking and impersonation prevented." Van der Merwe says that this offering is in line with 24.com's mission of providing its clients with superior, user-friendly and locally-relevant recruitment services and information from experienced industry players. "Our site boasts a strongly representative database of candidates with a high level of skills and ensures the eligibility of its offering by constantly updating its CVs. And advertising a job on Careers24Mall offers added marketing exposure to our affiliates, which includes MWEB and other sites within the Media24 stable."Contact Details:24.comWeb: www.careers24.com
