In the
German employment market there are two kinds of advertisements. On one hand
there are job vacancies posted by companies (Stellenangebote) und seeking job announcements
posted by jobseekers (Stellengesuche).
Traditionally,
jobseekers announced their readiness to work in newspapers. Today, this option
is mostly used by handcraft workers, often looking for private arrangements. While
white-collar jobseeker set-up a social media profile (notably with a status
option “seeking employment”) or register with a large job boards and post their
CV.
Companies actively
looking for staff buy CV contingents on these job boards, allowing them to
review certain number of jobseekers within a given time frame.
In career advice
literature, some consultants suggest setting up a professional website outlining
the jobseeker’s experience, sample projects, etc. in order to land a dream job.
Do private
websites help jobseekers get on HR’s radar?
How
effective are such private websites, considering the surplus of social media
platforms?
How often
do HR departments just google the talent in Internet in order to find private
website profiles and thereby possibly a dream candidate?
