Australian real estate professionals now have access to a radical new careers platform that essentially shifts the control from the employer to the candidate when it comes to career moves.
REcareers is an innovative initiative launched by Real Estate Business. The trailblazing platform was forged from the growing frustrations of both candidates and agencies when it comes to the archaic recruitment and interview process.
The platform essentially enables candidates to “craft” their dream job scenario on a secure and private platform. Employers who are in the market for candidates can quickly and easily match the right candidate to their needs. REcareers recognises that there will always be a proportion of the profession that is “for hire” for the right opportunity.
The new platform empowers real estate professionals – whether working in property management, sales, marketing, or administration – to be prepared for that dream job without the need to actively seek work. The big difference to the usual recruitment process is that the job comes to the candidate.
One of the main attractions for creating a REcareers profile is that it enables the professional to give prospective employers a true sense of their values, skills and aspirations, as well as their qualifications. Importantly, it gives the candidate the scope to state the salary that they would expect. It is then up to the prospective employer to meet their requirements rather than the other way around.
New platform gives candidates the power
REcareers is designed to simplify this process and place candidates in the driver’s seat.
They create a profile and promote their skills, knowledge, and experience.
Alongside this, they can detail their expectations around salary, flexible working arrangement, career progression, and training and development.
Employers can then search for candidates on the platform, interact with these profiles, request contacts, and approach those who they believe match a job opening in their firm or organisation.
Prioritising privacy
Candidates can protect their privacy by preventing their current employer from viewing their profile.
During the registration process, they can state which company or companies they would like to hide their profile from, and REcareers will hide their profile from companies that match the names.
They can also log into their account and access the profile privacy section to add or edit this information.
