Jobstreet.com’s ‘Company Reviews’ Allows Candidates to Determine if a Company is the Right Fit
Technology has made fundamental changes to the way we do business.
The traditional workplace of dreary cubicles is nearing obsolescence in the
face of modern co-working spaces. Remote working tools are making working from
home a viable option for many employees. And now, even the way we find work in
the first place is undergoing a rapid and inexorable sea change.
Over the last year, technology innovation has risen further into
conversations about the future of work. When it comes to the ways new
technology and digital adaption impact us in the workplace, it falls on both
companies and candidates to decide how to take the next step.
One thing that will make any job search easier is through
JobStreet.com’s Company Reviews program. It is designed to support candidates’
career journey by connecting them to the right opportunities and providing them
with essential information about the companies they’re looking at. Its
user-generated review-style format equips candidates with better information on
companies and their respective cultures – information that has heretofore been
inaccessible. Armed with Company Reviews, candidates are given insight into
their options, long before they make critical decisions on the future of their
careers.
“Companies and candidates’ seem to have trouble finding the right
fit in one another. The company culture may not match the candidates’ career
aspiration at hand. Looking at this, we realised that information gaps may
prevent the right candidate from ever learning about a company’s culture that
might be a right fit,” said Philip Gioca, Country Manager of JobStreet.com
Philippines. “And this is where we saw an opportunity to tap into and
introduced our innovative feature – Company Reviews – to help reduce the
information gap and increase talent retention in the market,” Gioca added.
Since its launch in May 2016, growth in review submissions for
JobStreet.com Company Reviews in the Philippines continues to be encouraging,
recording an 85% increase. Candidates are now able to read reviews from past or
present employees, creating transparency around important areas that will
influence career choices: company culture, work-life balance and development
opportunities.
Company Reviews don’t just represent a boon for candidates, but
the companies themselves as well. Candidates who come in well-informed about
business practices and company culture are already self-selected, making for
potentially more loyal and long-lasting future employees. After all, there are
few things more valuable than an employee who loves their job.
“There is no good or bad job. There are only jobs that will be
aligned to candidate needs, bringing the right fit and professional fulfilment.
A job can be much more than a pay cheque if you will let it be, and we believe
everyone deserve to have the information they need to build a career that
brings them joy and excitement, to wake up knowing that you love your job,”
added Gioca.
