When we started many of you had never used the Internet
before, and most had not used the Internet to recruit.
In 1998, only 17% of the world's 500 largest corporations
used the Internet to actively recruit , today, 95% of
fortune 500 company's use the Internet to source candidates
and over 60% of the public in the USA have used the
Internet to look for a job.
Today, Jobshark has the largest Skill Set Database
in Canada with over 580,000 registered
Job Seekers, and over 2000 corporate clients. Our subscriber
base continues to grow impressively, with approximately
10,000 new subscribers each month. In September, we
had over 450,000 job seekers visiting Jobshark.ca. The
Greater Toronto Area continues to be our strongest market,
followed by Vancouver, Ottawa and Calgary.
We have added many new features and services to our
offerings, however, our core competitive advantage remains
our ability to offer a "superior match" between job
seekers skill sets and the recruiter's skill requirements
for the job. By broadcasting your job into the hands
of hundreds, sometimes thousands of skill set matching
Job Seekers within 2 hours of posting your job, Jobshark
can immediately provide you with qualified applicants.
This capability remains unmatched when compared
against all other online recruitment companies.
Our focus has always centered on providing you with
as much information on the applicant as possible, while
providing you with state of the art resume management
tools to make the process hassle-free. This is why with
Jobshark, you receive not just a resume but also the
applicants Skill Set Profile and the capability to review
up to five pre-screening questions that you can pose
upon application.
Internationally, the Jobshark Global Network has expanded
in to new territories. We recently completed a contract
with the government of El Salvadore and created ijobshark
which utilizes the Jobshark technology as the backbone
for all the job centers across the country. Our Peruvian
business, EC Jobshark,
continues to be a major success with our partner El
Comercial, the leading newspaper group in Peru. Globally,
Jobshark now has over 1 million members.
Canada remains the major focus of our business, with
such a massive database of Jobseekers tied into our
JAWS matching technology, our success in filling jobs
with quality candidates remains extraordinarily high
and unmatched.
I thank you for your interest in Jobshark in the past
and I hope you will take advantage of Jobshark during
the upcoming fall recruitment season. We are confident
that Jobshark will prove to be a great success for your
company. |
