Find jobs. Find people. Easy! - “124,000 people look for work in Spain through the internet every month!” A new concept in H.R. solutions aims to get the right staff popping up everywhere! Finding staff is never an easy job and finding good staff is even trickier. Every year, companies here in Gibraltar and on the Costa del Sol spend thousands on advertising vacant positions and devote hours of valuable time to screening CVs and interviewing candidates. Recruitment companies here and back in the UK can be of help but often their fees tend to turn business away. One company is launching their product this month with a view to providing a solution this problem. jobToasterSpain.com far from being a recruitment company, is a new concept aiming to cut the high costs involved in advertising available positions and to guarantee their clients increased publicity and a more informed applicant. Run as a portal website, jobToasterSpain.com is a concept in advertising and awareness and not another “recruitment company”. For a set fee, corporate clients sign up for 3, 6 or 12 months, with the potential to quarter the spend they would normally devote to advertising positions throughout that time. Included in the cost, companies will get advertising on the site for a specific amount of positions as well as space for logos and banners in order to increase the company’s corporate image in today’s competitive marketplace. Advertisers are then able to change the jobs advertised, take positions off, monitor response and use the site to work in the best way it can for them. The aim is to keep the site continually fresh and updated with new positions in order to keep the flow of applicants constant and loyal. CVs will come direct to the relevant contact in the company advertising, and depending on what option they choose, CVs can be screened. The site will cater for all levels of companies and vacancies, which will be good news to many companies who struggle for effective places to advertise their ‘big hitter’ positions. “We are leaving it up to each company to decide exactly how they would like to use this service.” says Hideki Hashimura, the portal’s creator and driving force behind jobToasterSpain, “We are offering our advertisers a high profile forum from which they will know best how to attract the staff they need.” jobToasterSpain.com itself is about to embark on a huge marketing and advertising drive in very well known local media to launch it’s services, thus reassuring clients that they can cut their ‘situations vacant’ budget and benefit from the web traffic that will be directed to the site to apply for jobs. “We are offering a cheaper, more flexible way to advertise positions and will be attracting candidates from a much wider net than is currently available locally” adds the innovative entrepreneur, “Our aim is to increase the number of skilled applicants available in the job market and to make situations vacant more accessible to more people, everywhere, for a longer amount of time.” By using this corporate recruitment portal companies can also reach those individuals wishing to make the move to Spain but who are disconnected from the local media and market place. Thanks to the exposure offered by the Internet, companies in Gibraltar and Southern Spain can now make their positions vacant available to those professionals looking for work in Spain while in the UK or any other location. Some major local companies in different industries have already taken advantage of the launching specials offered by the company since the rates are low and expectations high. “The nature of the service is just a result of the demand generated by local enterprises, all we did is think of an effective, cost-cutting and innovative way to help business find the right staff, with us you find jobs, you find people, easy!” says the company’s managing director. The site is now been marketed thoroughly in conjunction with major web players such as google.com and msn.co.uk. on purchased campaigns additional to common search engine registration. In addition the site has attracted so far this month over 7,600 visitors from mainly Europe, the US and Australia have accessed the site in a search for a “job in the sun”. The site is currently promoted throughout international printed media as well as through partnerships with different resource web based companies. Statistically the site received an average of 332 people applying for jobs daily and an average of 290,000 hits so far during the month of November. The service was officially launched in October; however, the company is offering trial packages for companies that are interested in the product, which has a trial launch soon. The company behind this great idea and useful service is Horizon Marketing Solutions, a Spain based business operating since 2003 offering “business solutions consultancy” mainly geared towards potentialising the use of new technologies in order to strengthen corporate client’s marketing campaigns. The company has successfully operated major projects for large businesses in the real estate industry in Southern Spain. “We aren’t big, but we are certainly very good at what we do” claims the Managing Director, “we are in for the long run, so we are making sure or foundation is strong and healthy”.
