JobNet is unarguably one of the most pioneering entities in Myanmar; driving advances in recruitment, employer branding, and other HR related segments using advanced technology and innovative solutions. JobNet is also renowned for constantly developing new features and modules that can accommodate the many needs of job seekers and employers alike.
JobNet’s digital products and solutions can not only save time and money for its users, it can also provide positive and efficient hiring and applying solutions for businesses at an unprecedented rate. The year 2019 has been such a milestone for JobNet with many key new features added and updates rolled out, all designed with its users in mind. Here below is a quick recap of each of these features that employers find particularly useful.
1. Candidate Message Chat
With the abundance of several social media platforms and communication channels, the process of interaction between employers and their current or prospective recruits is becoming more decentralised. This is why there is a clear need for a messaging channel that focuses on the niche market of job seekers and recruiters, and for employers to meet those potential hires where they are.
JobNet’s ChatBox feature is an example of a solution that serves this purpose. Employers who post jobs on JobNet can now initiate a chat with any JobSeeker in their CRM, allowing them to have a conversation with them in near real-time. Employers can virtually meet their next potential candidate in a low pressure chat situation where any user who does not reply in twenty four hours will get a notification to reply to the message. In addition, employers can easily track all conversations with multiple candidates at a time. They can also use multi-user collaborative feature to share conversation messages with other recruitment team members to coordinate the hiring effort.
2. Online Salary Survey
Paying employees what they deserve is a responsibility and duty of a company. While a competitive salary can really go a long way and distinguish a company from others, over-compensation may harm the company’s long-term financial goals; especially when salary figures are not informed decisions in regards to the standard pay in the market.
JobNet’s Real-time Online Salary Survey uses over 3,000 data points from over 100 companies to generate the most reliable and extensive salary report in Myanmar. This Online Survey ensures that the companies are attracting the best talents by offering the competitive wages while helping them save money by keeping them posted about the right market rates, and continuously updates as more companies provide their information, helping the entire market be fair to all parties involved.
3. CRM Talent Database
JobNet customers looking to track candidates’ CVs and contact information are able to do so with the JobNet CRM Database. Any data from new candidates that is collected can be saved, indexed, and searched in a central location; removing the possibility of misplacing delicate information or having to spend time looking for a specific candidate or skill – it is all now in one place. Which means when a new position opens up in the future, or the business is growing and a company wants to bring in additional talent, they will already have a growing list of potential great hires to access and recruit from.
4. Applicant Tracking System (ATS)
As clients look for the perfect person to take on a new role, it is important to track potential new hires throughout the entire recruitment and hiring cycle. Now with the JobNet ATS, a company is able to shortlist candidates, take and share notes internally, pre-screen for qualified individuals, and more to help make a more efficient job offer and grow their business.
As clients look for the perfect person to take on a new role, it is important to track potential new hires throughout the entire recruitment and hiring cycle. Now with the JobNet ATS, a company is able to screen incoming applications for every job faster and more efficiently. By being able to keep track of all candidates during each stage of the recruiting cycle, HR professionals will be able to make more informed hiring decisions. In addition, the use of candidate notes can help for current and anticipated future job opening by linking comments, conversations, or other interview takeaways to a candidate’s file for reference about their capabilities. Notes can also be shares between users to eliminate repetition and harmonize entire departments.
5. CV Auto-Import Module
Reading CVs is a part of any HR practitioner’s daily job, but the different formatting of these CVs from different candidates in different places of the office could be an exhausting and imperfect process for many of these HR personnel. Many HR offices in Myanmar lack a centralised system that standardises the way all CVs look, which makes it easier for recruiters to process them.
JobNet’s CV Auto-Import Module offers one central database for all new and existing candidate CVs. This module allows employers to store and import all CVs instantly from any source, thus allowing them to quickly retrieve CVs at any time while eliminating wasteful stacks of paper while keeping pertinent information in the same place from candidate to candidate.
6. Job Seeker Premium Profile
Online presence is an important aspect for any professional these days no matter which industry he or she thrives in. A good online profile opens up numerous networking opportunities and helps a candidate to get noticed by potential recruiters and fellow professionals alike.
JobNet’s Job Seeker Premium Profile allows employers to retrieve the latest CVs from Myanmar’s largest candidate database, all while they’re able to put their best foot forward. This feature not only lifts the candidate’s status as a professional, but also helps build a top-notch personal brand. With this highly in-demand signature JobNet module, companies can now attract top talents from over 450,000 job seekers in the market.
7. Employer Profile
Online presence is important not just for job seekers but also for companies; candidates are becoming more and more aware of the brand that a company carries. A positive employer brand is a crucial asset that every employer should have to set itself apart from its hiring competitors and tell prospective employees what it would be like to work at their organization.
Employers can now create a premium employer profile on JobNet’s website, thus having access to thousands of users, most of whom could be a good fit for their talents if they knew about all the opportunities out there. Having a profile with JobNet not only ensures an employer can promote a positive brand toward any of its potential candidates, but also maximizes its outreach to many job seekers in the market.
8. CV Scanning with QR
Job fairs and career trade shows are one of the busiest times and scenes for both recruiters and job seekers. They can be the most exciting yet the most hectic experience for anybody looking to hire or get a job. Stacks and stacks of CV papers and hand-held documents used to make this process more complicated than it truly needed to be. Why doesn’t everyone have a purely digital identity where all their information can be found with one click online?
JobNet is the first company in Myanmar that has introduced the concept of the Digital ID, which aims to eliminate the hassle of companies having to deal with paper documents at career events. Employers can now display their digital ID anywhere from a trade show booth to their shopfront window and prospective employees will be able to visit their company profile with just one click. Further, job seekers will have their own personal digital CV in their pocket at all times, meaning they will never miss a chance for a job opportunity that could change their life by showing it to a potential new employer who has an active JobNet Company Profile.
