Incorporate Play Time
Now you have become aware of the fact that kids always want to play and it is hard to teach them when they are just not willing. You cannot let them play all the time without any learning as you have to respect the school board as well. There is a simple solution for this problem. You have to incorporate all of their playtime into a fun learning process. Kids are always ready to play games so what you need to do is to incorporate all the boring material into some colorful, interesting game. You will see kids will automatically get into it and enjoy without realizing the fact that they are learning. There can be so many such games through which you can teach them indirectly.
Be a Big Brother/Sister

Being a role model to them, you need to treat them carefully. Treat and talk to them like an adult may serve the purpose. So, if you talk to them like an adult and let them know that you think highly of them, they will respect you for sure. Make them realize that you're like their elder brother and sister to whom they can come to solve their problems.
Rewards
Giving rewards is a great way to keep your class' attention for longer. Giving reward for every good behavior or any correct response will encourage the kids to behave well and concentrate on learning process.

Four Most Important SEO Techniques

By Joaquin Costa

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy   

It is not a very difficult thing to be included in the top ten list of the search results page of Google. You simply have to have a strategy that works; you also have to be persevering and patient with the work. You benefit from having an idea as to how the algorithms of the search engines work and what their criteria is when it comes to ranking sites. These are some simple SEO techniques that you can use to get into the top ten list even for the highly competitive keywords.
Tip 1: Publishing articles
Your articles should be published on article directories, blogs, web portals for the industry, online magazines, and many others. These are ways for you to promote your site, get added back links, and secure media buzz. The article that you publish must be relevant and worth the time of the reader. It should be interesting and useful.
You must include keywords in both the title as well as the body of the content. This will allow the web crawlers to go through your site. If your subject matter and content is interesting, it will help you to bring traffic into the website. Do not forget to post your website's link on the articles that you publish.
Tip 2: Update content
It is very important to have content that is frequently kept fresh and updated. This is one of the most important things you need to remember when doing SEO but sadly most website owners do not follow this. The search engines keep track of how frequent a web page's content is updated. You need to have content that is useful and relevant so that you gain a good ranking and authority. Web site crawlers go through this new content and do page re-indexing.
You need to properly place and target the keywords so that you can show multiple results that go to your website. This is true even if the search engines have altered something in their algorithm. Having a high ranking page involves hard work. These are often calculated by the search engines so you will lose out if you do not keep the site frequently refreshed.
Tip 3: Contextual blogging
The newest trend in online advertising is the use of contextual blogging. Blogging is very useful for business owners. It shares relevant information to people and their peers. It provides useful information for the readers especially if you are an expert on your field.
Tip 4: Web directories and links
Links coming from the link directories are not enough to take effect with search engines. But there are some authentic directories that have a high page rank themselves. This is a great way to get deep links, inbound links, and search engine authority.

Organic Search Engine Marketing

By Jason Nyback

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy   


For those who have a very limited budget but would still want to join the fray of online marketing, the organic search engine marketing is a great alternative. The organic search engine marketing provides those who want to place their advertisements with the possibility of being ahead of the competitors on the search engine ranking without paying an extra buck.
There are online marketing companies who have devised methods using organic search engine optimization techniques that are so effective they produce more traffic than the pay per click program. It just goes to show that if you have the proper ads and the correct strategies backing it, expense need not be that high to be placed on top of the ranks and eventually generate traffic enough to boost sales.
Organic search engine optimization has more benefits than you might have ever imagined since many of us have this belief that paid things work better than free ones. Well, that belief is not so accurate in a lot of things including online traffic generation.
Based on current internet statistics, those that visit organic sites amount to seventy percent of those who search using popular search engines and this occurs on a daily basis. And to top this, according to a popular study, half of those who search using them use the top ranked on the organic list.
But that is not all, you may be surprised to know that a measly twenty percent of all users ever click on the pay-per-click results and the other eighty percent never actually wants to click on it. Three fourths of internet users like to use the organic list better because they feel they are more relevant than the paid ones and in ratio terms, the organic listing gets three times more conversions than the paid advertising sites.
Many are now backtracking and going back to organic advertising or displaying advertisements the natural way, opposite of what paid advertising is. This is due to the fact that more and more search engine users turn to organic search engine lists than the paid ones.
With the cost of online advertisements going through the roof, not including a bidding war on the top spot on sponsored links, the online advertising industry has now become very similar to ad placements outside the internet realm where only huge multinationals can place bigger ads and get better ad spaces. Organic search engine optimization even up the ad field because it eliminates the involvement of cost in the determination of ranking.
It is all fair play with organic SEO because much is placed on relevancy and importance of the ad body. And the good thing about it is that it really works.

Basics For A Home Office

By D D Mosley

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  


Look around your home. Where can you put a home office? If you are not fortunate enough to have extra rooms available for an actual office you only need room enough for a corner desk. The perfect desk will have at least two levels or some sort of storage. Desks are usually inexpensive and can be put together in a matter of minutes. Try Wal-Mart, Target or even Craigslist or yard sales.
Next your computer. Almost everyone has a computer these days, but if you are in the market check out Wal-Mart, Target or even warehouse stores such as Costco. And again, you can always check Craigslist or even get your old computer upgraded-its cheaper. You need enough speed and memory to handle multimedia and videos. Your system should be able to handle any software you may need. The most important part of your computer is virus protection. Check our Download.com for software to keep your system safe.
The phone is next. My Blackberry is with me always. I do not know what I would do without it. My Blackberry has every app I need for business - Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, WordPress, 5 of my email accounts, a calendar, address book, a memo pad and even The Bible. There is an app for whatever you can imagine. I have an unlimited plan which includes talk, text and email. There are many phone companies and plans. Most companies offer free or minimal fee phones just for signing a 2 year contract. If you are not ready for that type of technology, a regular home phone will do. Just make sure you have an answering machine or service so no message will be missed.
The next piece of equipment is an all-in-one printer, copier, fax, scanner. They do it all. I bought mine from Amazon.com for less the $60. It's an Epson and works wonderfully.
A shredder would also be ideal. You do not want any personal or financial information in the wrong hands. Keep financial and personal paperwork in a secure place. Find some time of locked filing box or cabinet for this paperwork.

Management Tips

By Ken Sundheim  


Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy   

As a small business owner, hiring your first employee is typically quite exciting as it alludes to the fact that you are doing well and are doing what every business should be - growing. Since employees can make or break a company, you want to start out on the right foot and, thus use this person to further build your business.
Though, keep in mind that you should not be hiring employees just because you think that having an employee is prestigious or that it looks good for clients. Ensure that business is coming in at a steady pace before you go through with the aforementioned search.
How to Find Employees Without Incurring High Fees
Unless you've allotted a fair amount of money to this search and you need somebody very specific, there are cheaper routes one can through rather than using a recruiting agency. Unless you have someone in mind for the job and can network, there are cheaper ways to find what you are looking for.
First, you can buy a Monster or Yahoo posting package which will run you a few hundred dollars, but if you find the right person via the route, the return on investment ought to be quite sound.
Then, there is the obvious Craigslist, though you are less likely to find what you are looking for through this medium. Linked-In is free and can also be effective. Last, and this is a route many don't think to go through, you can contact local universities and they should allow you to post the jobs for free.
You Have to Sell Them As Much As They Have to Sell You
For any employee, working for a start-up organization is risky as they don't know whether or not they will find themselves back on the job market in a few months with a resume that now reads less employment stability than it had prior to coming to your company. How do you sell them on the position? There are a few ways.
Make Them See Your Vision, But Be Honest
Upon meeting with the job candidates, be prepared to paint a vision as to where the company is going, how it is currently doing financially and describe as to what you wish to do with the firm. Conversely, if you tell them that you are sitting on the next Google and throw out lofty goals that you can't back up, people are going to shy away.
Have a Firm Game Plan
Prior to meeting with the applicants, have a salary and a job description set up. For a small business, since so much needs to get done, this can be somewhat difficult. Even so, try your best to be as specific as possible.
Give Them a Certain Amount of Autonomy
Even though a candidate resume may read "Sales," as a leader, you should challenge them regarding all aspects of the business. Small businesses have limited resources when it comes to hiring a first employee. In time, take a serious look at their capabilities and use all of them to your advantage. Not only will this help you, it will make the job much more interesting for the employee which means, among other factors, increased productivity.

By Alex F Gray

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy 


Human Resource Management, also referred to as HRM, performs a variety of different functions and activities to satisfy the staffing needs of a small business or large corporation. Several different areas of staffing and employee development are considered in HRM. Each decision made is geared to the betterment of the company while still reducing operational and overhead costs. A Human Resource Management Department will be dedicated to hiring the best candidates, paying employees and providing benefits information, training employees, ensuring compliance to state and federal-mandated regulations, ensuring a safe working environment, and rewarding high performing employees. Each of these functions plays a significant role in the operation of any business no matter the size.
In Human Resource Management, getting the best employees is more than just conducting interviews. The management department will need to develop a plan by determining how many employees are needed and which positions need to be filled. They will also be responsible for specifying job titles and responsibilities and recruiting individuals with experience who may prove to be an asset to the company. Once candidates have been selected, they will also perform screening and background checks as required by the company.
HRM handles compensation and benefits for employees. The HRM department decides all retirement plans, life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance, employee stock ownership, salary, bonuses and commissions. When issues with pay or benefits arise, employees are told to consult a benefits or HR employee to discuss the concerns or errors.
Training employees is yet another function Human Resource Management is responsible for. From new hire orientations and training to career and leadership development classes, there are several programs to consider. Employees being promoted from within will often require management development courses, which will be planned and overseen by the HRM department.
Federal and state regulations are very strict about work policies and personnel records. The HRM must meet federal requirements at all times and keep detailed records for audits. Employee laws and Ethics training will need to review on an annual basis as the laws and practices change frequently. Keeping up with these changes is required of all HRM departments in the country.
Making sure employees are performing to their full potential is important to run a profitable organization. The Human Resource Management department will oversee employee performance, perform reviews, give warnings, write ups, oversee attendance, and sustain high performing employees. Each function of the department is important for the health of a business of corporation.

Employees Who Commit Corporate Espionage

By Gordon Basichis
  
Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy 

Who are you hiring as your new employee? Are you hiring an applicant who with his skill sets and attitude will prove a valuable asset to your working environment? Or you hiring someone who is less than what they seem? Worse still, are you hiring someone who may turn out to be a corporate spy.
According to a recent article in the New York Times, among other places, corporate espionage is on the increase. In a highly competitive global economy, companies will battle for the technological edge in order to advance their market share and compete with their rivals. Western Technology is the primary target. This is no longer a case of stealing military secrets, but even the most mundane proprietary developments are coveted by a rival group. As well as the usual weaponry and satellite and submarine technologies, rivals put their spies out their to garner such elements as the special chemicals in a package film coating, proprietary technology for more advanced fiber optics, and the advanced components and computers and hardware. There is really no end to what products and trade secrets offer allure to corporate spies. For each secret you can steal puts you one step closer to your competition without having to undergo the normally requisite research and development.
Spies have been caught stealing secrets from DuPont and a paint company, Valspar which uses special mixes in its pigments. An employee at Dow Chemical was recently arrested and charged with stealing proprietary data that is designed to improve the insecticide mix. There have been employees arrested for corporate espionage at General Motors, Ford, and Motorola. In fact there are few major companies who haven't experienced some type of corporate espionage. A good many just won't admit it publicly. In all, it cost hundreds of millions and even billions of dollars in lost revenue, annually. Corporate espionage results as well in the loss of thousands of American jobs.
The companies most responsible for corporate espionage are based largely in China, Russia, and Iran. Our old favorites. What else is new? China denies this, of course, as does Russia, Iran, and everyone else who would rather steal what they otherwise lack the resources to develop. But it's true. It has been true for decades. We Americans just love to live in denial.
Some of the spies are foreign nationals, but a good many are American citizens. More often than not it is an inside job, that is the spy works for the company. Either the worker deliberately targets a company to work for so he can target desire secrets, or the employee has been working there and suddenly decides to get frisky. There are any number of reasons a good employee can turn bad, can resort to criminal theft and risk years in jail. In intelligence parlance the term ascribed to most motivations for spying is MICE. Money, Ideology, Coercion, and Ego. Idoeology used to be a big factor but in this age of self-aggrandizement, it is pretty much a bygone consideration. Coercion works if you first lure someone to do something wrong, adultery, promiscuous behavior, things that can cost him, and then blackmail him. Ego is a favor, knowing you are pulling the wool over the eyes of your employers and friends. It is not directly related but Bernard Madoff is a perfect example of that. And then first in the list, and first in priorities, is...money.
What a shocker, people spy for money. You could chalk it off to a tight economy, or you could write it off as greed. You could contend that they have been trapped into some heart rendering situation and that they are doing it for the good of friends and family. Mainly, there is nothing like sticking a few illicit bucks in someone's pocket to get them going in the wrong direction. After you romance them first, of course. Long walks in the moonlight, lavish dinners, sweet nothings about you being oh so simpatico.
Some corporate spies are assigned to the task and are there to deliberate penetrate a company in order to pilfer its secrets. A rival group from China or elsewhere may have a wish list on its mind and send in the spy as a worker. But most are already working at the company when they are approached by outside sources. The sources either provide them with a wish list, that technology they most desire, or they pretty much leave the door open and tell the willing spy to get what they can. But then there are the more enterprising souls who seeing they are in the espionage worthy catbird seat initiate the contact and make an agreement with the rival companies. They let it be known that they are for sale and willing to walk out with every secret or piece of technology they can smuggle out in computer or briefcase.
As the global economy continues to become more competitive, you can be sure there will be more employees willing to spy for another concern. The cases of corporate espionage are difficult to prove and for the most part sentences are pretty light. The sponsoring or rival companies typically fail to cooperate with American authorities or corporations. They may tsk, tsk for the moment and make some noises about regret and the lamentable mishap, but more often than not they just deny any complicity. Additionally, when Human Resources personnel hire employees, they can conduct background checks and while some searches will raise some suspicions, it is still difficult to determine what kind of thief you are getting for his annual salary, vacation, and benefits. HR can check references and clock the work dates where the job applicants were employed at rival companies. If there are large gaps in their work history, this is a red flag. Criminal records are obvious but federal civil records and county civil records may reveal lawsuits former employers filed against your shiny new candidate.
Last year I had published my book, The Guys Who Spied for China. This was a roman a clef detailing how spies operating in America stole both military and industrial secrets, often selling prohibited materials to rival nations. My research and involvement with that book and the events therein was centered in the eighties and nineties. Every other day it seemed there were new headlines about Chinese Espionage efforts in the United States. Most were slanted toward the theft of military technology but some to corporate espionage. During that time some of the spies were Chinese Nationals, but most were American Citizens. Enterprising souls who took advantage of their positions for personal profit. Some went to jail. Some didn't.
But now here we are again. I should really say, here we remain, still dealing with this issue as we in the West try to sustain our technological edge and innovative advantages.

Running a hospital is a very difficult job; you need to keep your hands on everything. Every move you make reflects on how effective you are as a manager, and most of the times small things that you unintended to overlook because you have more important matter at hand are the same things that cause bigger issues.
One of those issues is the employee scheduling. Hospitals may run without other people but never without a doctor. Doctor scheduling is a very important task and should never be overlooked no matter what, however it can be very frustrating and downright tiring to call doctors to give them their respective schedules all the time.
The problem with manual employee scheduling is that sometimes doctors suddenly take a leave of absence without notice, giving you very little time to adjust you employee roster, which then leads to bigger problem.
But with the introduction of online employee scheduling, all these can be solved. With all its innovative features that allow all of your employees to get in touch with you wherever they are, doctor scheduling has never been easier.
Here are the Benefits that you will get from Online Employee Scheduling
1. Easy access for employees
Because an online employee scheduling is posted online, third party viewers can open and see the schedule form anytime, anywhere. Automatic email sending is also another feature that this software offers, which means that schedules of each of your employee will be sent out once your done with customizing their schedule in addition to online schedule viewing.
2. It is offers flexibility
It works with both part time and full time employees. You set the schedule, reschedule, update, and revise the schedule according to your preference. It also allows easy schedule swapping for your employees.
Swapping is one of the many things your employees' do that complicate things for you, but with the easy-swapping feature that online employee scheduling offers, everything is made possible.
3. It stores your schedule for easy and printable schedule report
It stores your employee schedule for as long as you want, making it easier for you to create your payroll according to real time statistic of your employee's attendance. No need to print unnecessary files, you can easily view them online, anytime, anywhere.
4. Easy scheduling tool for you
Because you can easily make a schedule according to your preference, your time creating your employee roster is cut in half. You can even use the same scheduling you've done a month before, so you won't have to constantly change the employee scheduling all the time.
This software is another great contribution of today's technology. The internet has indeed made a huge impact on businesses, making people's lives easier to deal with. Imagine you can quit making phone calls whenever you create a schedule. You don't have to deal with lost schedule slips, or doubled up schedule that confuses you and you employees. All you need is one software; and everything else will fall into place just the way you want it.

The Recession and Your Endless Search for a Job Are Over

Today's Los Angeles Times begs for a commentary, sadly not in a positive way. The problem with a lot of people in the media and in government is that they live in a bubble, separate from other people in the world and the problems they face. You hear citations of talking with "experts", economists and government officials of various kinds. Reading the paper is definitely an exercise in patience. Who needs yoga, when the media exists with the possible exception of Keith Olbermann on MSNBC.
Have you heard? The recession ended in June 2009. You should get at least one interview for every ten resumes that you send out (source today's Los Angeles Times), and the people that are suffering are those in finance and manufacturing. There was a third category, but I forget offhand what that was. Jobs are plentiful, if you live in places like Washington D.C. The Los Angeles Times blamed the high unemployment on a mismatch of where the jobs are to where people live. People in California suffer because jobs are plentiful outside of California.
I live in California and am quite familiar with the job situation and the causes here in California, most specifically with the greater Los Angeles.
I was telling a friend of mine today about what the L.A. Times said and my friend's comment was two things. One, and he is closer to being right on the first point, is that it takes more like submitting one thousand resumes for every interview unless you are absolutely 100% qualified and your resume gets to the right person and you are the right age and this and that and this and that. I could hear my mother saying, "And if my grandmother would have a penis, he would be my grandfather." Exactly! I added that one has to be around 28 years old too. They are the easiest to train, look up to companies as something special, are dirt cheap, and will work hard and long hours. He also likes to talk about the liberal media. He is a Rush Limbaugh ditto head, Glen Beck too. He is wrong, obviously, on the second point.
I keep carping on the same points, but they are valid. First off, engineers and other white collar workers seem be be forgotten. Secondly, I am familiar with the profession, but before talking about engineering further, I want to digress to tell a story that I heard.
I talked with my sister recently. She is a medical doctor and her husband works in a hospital. I was told that up until recently there was a woman, who came by every afternoon, picked up the Dictaphone, and brought back a written transcription the following day. After years of service, how do you think that she was rewarded? Did she get a raise? Yes, just not the kind that you are thinking about. She got a quick life from having a foot hand on her butt and tossing her out the door. She was laid off. Why? The hospital could hire a company, in India in this case, at half the cost.
I used to work at Verizon. Before going on, I will say that I loved that job, the people, and learned a lot. What is also true is that Verizon was guilty of not outsourcing one job, but virtually the entire engineering effort. Not only did quite a bit of interaction involve interfacing with the Indian team (numbering in the hundreds from what I could tell), but I would say that over 70% of the people in my building were Indian too working on an H1-B visa. I was one of only a few non-Indians. That mix was not good enough. Verizon decided to close that building and handle the remaining work in Texas, at least until 500 unlucky souls there got the ax. Verizon was laying people off left and right during my term there.
You may say that Verizon was a special case. Nope. My next job was even worse. Let me just say that the next time you fly on a 787 Dreamliner, you can think of the plane as an outsourced plane. The trend is getting worse, not better.
Of the companies that I have associated with in one form or another, most believe in outsourcing like many believe in spending $5 (per day) on a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Some people waste more than $5 per day. I know of at least two people that fit that bill.
I am not trying to be racist, far from it. Yes, companies have the right to go where labor is cheap. I agree with that statement. They do whatever the law permits.
Before continuing, I talked with a recruiter recently and was told the outsourcing figure. There are currently about 6 million people working currently in the United States on an H1-B visa. The government created the H1-B visa program, so that companies could hire talent that was not here in the United States. The H1-B visa program morphed into a program that does everything but what it was meant to do.
The trouble with engineering and many other industries is not the recession. The recession is responsible for some job loss, as was the housing bubble burst, but not all jobs. Manufacturing jobs got outsourced. "American" car manufacturers build most of their cars outside the United States. NAFTA is a fancy way of saying take jobs out of the United States. That was when the problem started. The problem started with manufacturing and spread to many other industries.
What is my comment about the article that I read that a person should get a minimum of one (1) interview for every ten resumes submitted? If I were to say horseshit, which was my first thought, I would be saying something bad about horses, and horses are nice creatures, so I will reframe from that thought. Is there a word to take its place?
As long as I am venting, illegal immigration plays a toll. I know the Republicans want to score brownie points with their base on this issue, but there are jobs lost in this way. I was at a well-known restaurant chain recently. They definitely hire knowingly illegal immigrants. One bragged to me that he came here illegally from El Salvador and makes $10 per hour. He holds two jobs. No, I am not making that up, and God alone only knows why he told me or was bragging to me on the topic. Common sense would say that he would be quite as a church mouse on this topic. Is he the only one, nope. I feel for his story, but the truth is that he is taking away a job from an American. Okay, illegal immigrants is a small percentage of the problem and outsourcing the white elephant, but even so.
Our former president said that migrant workers (that seems to whitewash the real phrase, no?) take on the jobs that no one else wants to. Okay, I still do not know of a word to replace horseshit, because that comes to mind. The truth is that there is no one that wants to work like a slave for $2 per hour in the fields or $10 per hour serving soup or warming potatoes for guests on Sundays. I agree with that. What would happen if we increased the wage to $25 in the field and in the restaurants?
What would happen if Congress got some Cojones and imposed a tax on H1-B visa and outsourcing, ff a company wants to outsource work, it would have to pay a tax of 20% plus 1.5 times the amount of money lost than if the jobs were done here? What would happen if a company had to pay $2 million tax per year for every H1-B applicant?
The cost of goods would go up (guess what folks, they do anyways), but at least everyone that wanted a job would have a job. They would be able to pay for goods.
Just to address one other point that I keep reading about in the papers and is so total whatever the word I should use (thoughts?). "We are in a deflationary time, blah, blah, blah."
Supercuts charges $2 more now than a few months ago, which is $2 more now than last year. Restaurants charge significantly more now than in the past. I am thinking of a certain national American Italian chain that doubled their prices in about a two to three year span. Rents have gone up. Groceries have absolutely gone up and not by a little bit. Gasoline has skyrocketed. Airline ticket prices have gone up. We live in a radically inflationary time, just people do not complain and the media and government ignore the facts.
Another sticking point, as long as I am bitching, is a certain bank agreeing to stop foreclosures. How about landlords agreeing not to collect rent and the courts agreeing not to hear any cases of tenants not paying rent, hence no evictions. Did I make my point? I am not being heartless either, far from it. Housing costs had exponential inflation, not because people wanted a home, but because people wanted to become rich off of it, flip properties so to speak. Yes, there are those that really did get hurt, but a lot more that played the game and should pay the price like the rest of us.
I totally get ticked off hearing that unemployment is bad and that people who receive it have a disinterest in finding real work. That is the Republican mantra. I am not even being biased. They really say that and a lot. I hear this view much more so than how most people in the GOP are against abortions and "Don't Ask Don't Tell." Every other speech this year seems to evoke how benefits should be cut and how employees are lazy. Are you?
Finding work is a tough lonely job under any circumstances and especially if you are out of work for long periods of time. They are not lazy and really do work. I cannot give work to people and nor can I pass legislation, but maybe in my own small way, I can help by creating a program that really does help job seekers get a job. I wrote JobFish, because there was no tool, which truly helped job seekers. There was no company that listened to their needs. ButterflyVista has tried to live up to the ideal to help people. It was written by a job seeker, who knows from experience what is required. JobFish has grown a lot this year by listening to all of you and incorporating many of the comments. ButterflyVista in the future will continue to do the same.
I hope that with these blogs that there will be a discussion started and a groundswell building so that jobs really do come back and not just temporarily and at the expense of someone else. Politics and jobs are interconnected; they always have been. Fixing the economy takes time. Fixing anything takes time, but breaking it is quick.

Fill That Information Technology Job Vacancy

By Gwen Clarke

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy


Recession or no recession, fresh reports suggest that now is a far better time than you may have thought for the information technology job market. According to one survey, permanent private sector jobs in IT across all sectors are growing at the fastest rate since 2007. Salaries are at their highest levels for more than 18 months, signalling a new upsurge in employer confidence.
In fact, with 110,000 people needed to fill jobs in Britain's technology sector each year, renewed efforts are now being made to attract young people into the industry.
Despite reports of overseas outsourcing and potential public sector cuts over the next 12 months, and a possible dip in the number of temporary posts, there are still plenty of opportunities for anyone looking for a job in IT, and strong technical skills will always be highly sought after.
If you're an employer and have an information technology job to fill, there are many benefits to using a specialist IT recruitment agency. One of the biggest advantages is the hours an agency can save an organisation's managers or human resources team. HR staff already have many conflicting demands on their time, and may not have specialist IT knowledge.
In particular, if you're a small business looking for someone to fill an IT role, you're probably already stretched, and your time will be doubly precious. There may simply not be enough hours in the day to write and design job adverts or sift through countless CVs. Equally, you may not happen to have the extensive interviewing skills which someone working for a recruitment agency will have.
IT job agencies are also equipped with all the right technical skills to identify the best candidate for an information technology job. Indeed, agency staff may well have previously worked in the industry themselves.
Agencies are aware of all the latest industry trends, and know exactly what to look for so that selection is as accurate as possible. If you just place adverts yourself, the adverts can be hit and miss.
Rather than going through a jobs board, specialist agencies will go directly to the people they know, making the whole process much quicker and more reliable. By the time you meet candidates, the agency will already have interviewed them personally.
Like any business, an IT recruitment service needs to charge for what it does. But consider the potential cost to your organisation of hiring someone who simply isn't up to the job. It can be a disastrous waste of time and money. Most agencies only seek payment once someone is in post for a few months and doing well.
A good recruitment agency will be with a client every step of the way, from drafting the advertising to advising unsuccessful applicants. With some reports suggesting it can take 12 hours of effort just to get someone into your office for an interview, you can see why employers turn to recruitment agencies.
