Jobstreet.com Is 1st To Introduce Salary Matching for Candidates.
Singapore, 20 Jan, 2014:JobStreet.com Singapore has been voted the No.1 Recruitment Website in 2013 at the 8th annual HR Vendor of the Year Award, winning the category for the second time in a row.
The HR Vendor of the Year Award is an annual event organized by one of Singapore's most respected HR publications - Human Resources Magazine to determine end-user perception of the top industry vendors. Conducted via an online questionnaire sent to a database of HR professionals as well as top management, a total of 1,246 respondents voted JobStreet.com above 9 other recruitment websites to be their top choice for 2013.
As a testimony to its award, recently launched Salary Matching, a new feature that matches candidates to the salary they want. JobStreet.com is the first and only job site in Southeast Asia to provide this salary matching feature to help candidates find the job that meets their most important requirement - the right salary.
Job hunting is not an easy task, especially when candidates are given insufficient decision-making information such as salary, to help them apply for the right job. To underscore the importance of salary information, a recent Nielsen survey showed that when it came to choosing a job, salary is the most important factor.
Candidates often applied to jobs blindly without knowing if the salary for the position matches their expectation. If there is no match, it becomes a waste of time and resource for both employers and candidates. For the employer, their position does not get filled and the candidate is left, still searching. Therefore, the JobStreet.com Salary Matching feature is a major innovation in helping the candidates find the job with the salary that is right for them.
JobStreet.com has always made it a priority to display jobs with salary information. Since the launch of the JobStreet.com Richer Job Ad in the fourth quarter of this year, salary information has been displayed on job advertisements. This is done to help candidates make better decisions when applying. With this launch of the Salary Matching feature, Jobstreet.com becomes the first job site to present candidates with jobs matched to their expected salary.
Another of the many new innovations introduced by JobStreet.com recently, is the Personalized Page. It allows JobStreet.com members to log in and view job matches, consider suggestions that might suit them or if they choose, browse jobs, all complete with salary matching.
JobStreet.com currently services over 1,000,000 candidates on its database in Singapore. The company is committed to continuous innovation to make it easier for candidates to find the right job fit. JobStreet.com's "Richer Job Ads" feature allows candidates to find jobs with the right salary matching and have more comprehensive information of the job, work location and company insights before applying.
