Phillips Consulting Limited has inaugurated an online recruitment platform known as Shortlist Nigeria.
Its Chairman, Mr. Foluso Philips,
described it as an online start-up for job seekers and recruiters to
find easier way to recruit.
He said that in partnership with
Phillips Consulting, Shortlist had incorporated over 20 years of
recruitment experience into an innovative online offering.
Philips said, “Shortlist is structured
to connect candidates and employers directly with each other through
this online talent pool that is created directly by job seekers.
Simplicity and ease of use was the guiding principle in designing the
powerful shortlisting tools incorporated into the process. This is a
fundamental feature that will appeal to users who are currently
frustrated by the job-hunting process.
“To be on a global platform where anyone
can discover you is a wonderful opportunity for jobseekers. To find the
very people you need to fill your vacancies on this platform is even
better. This is a major shift in today’s job hunting and recruitment
paradigm.”
He added that initial listing on
Shortlist would be free to enable the management to create a unique
online designed resume they could also share with anyone outside the
website.
“They then have an option to upgrade
through a paid subscription service, which places them on a premium
platform that can be easily accessible by employers, who can search the
database for free.”
The Managing Director of Shortlist, Mrs.
Tayo Leigh, said the platform was another way of assisting job seekers
in their quest for employment.
“In our economy today, there are
unfortunately more job seekers than there are job positions and we had
to remove any impediment to employers in accessing our platform to
self-search for great candidates. Another way to look at it is that
candidates are really subscribing to recruitment ‘yellow pages’, which
is now made available to employers free of charge,” she added.
Also, the Chief Technical Officer of
Shortlist, Mr. Richard Leigh, noted that one major feature candidates
would appreciate, was the avoidance of the need to upload their
curriculum vitae.
