The focus on customized location of workplace is the benefit that wanted to be highlighted. This is to cut the time spent by job seeker to seek job in location they prefer. This is based on JobLocal’s observation on the condition of existing job listing information which not fit with the actual location of the job. JobLocal wants to give information on job vacancy as detailed as possible. For Jakarta, this also can trick the traffic, job seeker can find jobs near their homes to reduce the negative impact of work activity caused by coming in late or other excuse.
JobLocal seems to target small – middle companies, as well, which want to select employee based on residence as a mean to increase productivity.
For the website, job seeking is currently unavailable (I was given special access to see available facilities), but there is facility for employer to post job vacancy. All facilities are free, at least for the next 3 months. There will be paid facility for employer while employee is not planned to be charged.
In the future, job seeker will have their own profile and other facilities such as map, because JobLocal focuses on location. Kreshna also says there will be addition in the form of location visualizaton for a more interactive job seeking.
ウェブサイト版の職探し機能は今のところ利用できない(私は利用できる機能を見るために特別にアクセスさせてもらった)が、雇用主が求人情報を投稿する機能はある。 少なくとも次の3か月間は、すべての機能が無料だ。雇用側には有料機能が導入されるだろうが、求職者は無料のままだろう。
将来的には、求職者向けのプロファイル機能や、JobLocalが位置情報に特化していることから、地図などの機能が利用できるようになるだろう。また、よりインタラクティブな職探しのために位置情報のビジュアル化もしたい、とKreshnaは言う。
そのサイトでは、現在は求職ができない(筆者は利用可能な機能を見せてもらうため、特別のアクセス許可をもらった)が、雇用主が求人を募集するための機能がある。すべての機能は、少なくとも次の3ヶ月間は無料である。雇用主側に対しては有料の機能も用意されることになるだろう。しかし、従業員側に利用料を課すことは計画されていない。
将来、求職者は自分用のプロフィールや地図といった他の機能を持つことができるようになるだろう。JobLocalは、場所に焦点を合わせたサービスだからだ。Kreshna氏はさらに、就職活動をよりインタラクティブなものとするため、場所が可視化された書式が用意されるだろう、と述べている。
Online job listing competition is tight, DailySocial also has its own segment with Jobs@DS, with other services such as JobsDB, JobsStreet, Karir.com, etc. but JobLocal is optimistic to be able to compete in the other services. With a different concept it offers, Kreshna also says that it will also do a market mapping in the next few months to develop the service.
The focus of the service is Jakarta, which shown in the information inside the website, is an option, at least for a start. But it seems that it will also provide service for other cities becayse I see a vacancy in Surabaya from the access given by JobLocal. Obviously, observation on the condition in other cities is needed if JobLocal wants to target cities other than Jakarta.
Another issue comes from employer. There are vacancies seeked out by people regardless the location. Moreover, not all area in Indonesia has traffic condition that similar to Jakarta, although traffic is a problem in every city, but the level of disturbance toward productivity must be different. But it’s still interesting to see the development of JobLocal.me because job listing service is one of segments that will always seeked out.
