International Online Recruitment Solutions Provider Launches Career Platform in South Africa

Cape Town, South Africa, February 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The international online recruitment solutions provider Global Talent Pools launches its newest product, the Africa Business Talent Pool, in South Africa. The Africa Business Talent Pool is a specialised job and career platform focused on the African job market. It is dedicated to business professionals from middle to senior management, students and graduates of commercial studies. They can browse through job profiles, read industry related news, upload their CVs and inform themselves about potential employers.

The Africa Business Talent Pool focuses on the South African job market and plans to expand to whole Africa on a later stage. ”South Africa is the continent’s business hub. At the same time the country suffers a tremendous skills shortage. Yearly thousands of South Africans leave the country. This drainage of highly skilled people leaves gaps in the job market which need to be filled”, says Matthew Holmes, Project Manager of the Africa Business Talent Pool, “that’s why we decided to enter the South African market first.”

Like the rest of the world South Africa is also affected by the consequences of the world’s economical crisis. Employers spend a lot of time finding the right candidate and fill their few open positions very carefully. In these tough times it’s important to use the right career and recruitment platforms to find an exciting job opportunity or the right employee. The Africa Business Talent Pool was founded to facilitate this process and bring African employers and candidates together.

“Most companies experience the employment process as a time- and cost-intensive procedure” says Daniela Vitzthum, Recruitment Manager at the Africa Business Talent Pool. “The Africa Business Talent Pool facilitates this process significantly with its innovative recruitment service.” Besides usual basic features of online career platforms such as job postings, job alerts and career guidance the Africa Business Talent Pool offers additional features like recruitment marketing, webcasts, online presentations and online events.
