The GGF and Fensa have been encouraged by the take-up of their online jobs board initiative, with at least 40 applicants looking for career opportunities via the resource.
GGF head of advocacy & stakeholder relations Chris Beedel says they are confident the uptake in the short time since its launch https://www.the-glazine.com/?p=11226 will lead to further growth.
“We created the jobs board because our members told us they were struggling to fill vacancies, and yet we knew there were also plenty of people looking for work,” he said.
“The board that sits on both the GGF and FENSA websites holds current job vacancies as well as profiles of candidates that are looking for work. The system actively matches job seekers with positions that are suited to their skillset and requirements. Of course, the more companies and people that use the jobs board, the more useful it will become as a resource.
“GGF members can post jobs on the board for free, but non-members can still use the facility for a fee. Meanwhile individuals looking for work are notified when new jobs matching their criteria are posted, or when new relevant training courses are launched.
“We are pleased to be able to offer a solution for both the companies looking for the skilled workforce they need to survive and thrive, as well as the individuals that are investing a lot of time and effort into finding the right job for them. Allowing the two communities to find each other more easily is a great step forward for the industry.”
