When Alex from Marga Group discussed how the JobNet platform has helped the hiring strategy for business growth, he mentioned: “JobNet as a platform has been tremendously helpful for us. In fact, since we started using it, it has become a key part of our hiring strategy. The functionality of being able to list and look through job requirements has been significantly helpful for us. We have found that we actually will go and look at every Jobseekers profile that comes our way through JobNet.”
