Purpose

The basic purpose of implementing this system is to job portals usually hosted online; in fact do not provide a direct placement of candidates in employer job vacancies. An online job portal fulfils the role too of a middle man, but between the Job Seeker and Recruiter / head hunter.Job portals provide a platform whereby Job Seekers market their skills and Recruiters search or advertise to find them. Job portals far away from the screening and placement of candidates and rather facilitate the interaction between Recruiters and candidates. Many Job Seekers understand this function to being different to what it really is and anticipate a portal to provide the same function to that of a Recruiter. Online job portals do not partake in the screening, interviewing or placement of Job Seekers. Instead, job portals facilitate this process and enable Recruiters to advertise and search candidate databases and in turn allow for the initial interaction between each party. Providing online application functionality, Job Seekers manage their own career portfolio on an online portal and opt in by selecting to apply to and proceed with the recruitment process as it ordinarily would take place. Online job portals such as Jobs.co.za should not be confused with that of a recruiter or a head hunter but rather as a facilitator in the coming together of each party and aiding the process of candidate application and recruiter selection and placement.
