Online recruitment and career management service CareerOne has entered into an
agreement with data retrieval and processing firm Digital Motorworks to provide an
automated process for uploading job adverts.
CareerOne, part of the News Interactive network, the online business
unit of News Limited, expects the deal to provide cost savings and
efficiencies across the recruiting industry.
The previous system, where recruiters manually uploaded files to a range
of different sites and formats, will be replaced by the fully automated
process to work online across a number of different systems.
The new system automatically extracts the relevant raw data required to
build a recruitment advert directly from the customer database, Web site or
file. The facility then electronically submits a converted file directly to
the CareerOne site, as well as other employment sites.
CareerOne general manager David Stewart said the move offered a solution
for recruiters across the industry. “Many online employment sites have
hampered the efficiencies of the system by trying to ‘secure their own
turf’. We believe it is more important to work with our customers to let
them get back to their core business – recruiting,” he said.
