From Job Boards to Social Recruiting

Posted by Vic Okezie on July 12th, 2009 | No Comments

The last few days, I have been watching the Social Media trend and impact on Recruitment & the Future of Recruiting.

As I seem to find this subject quite fascinating, I have decided to spend some more time learning more about Social Recruiting and also assisting recruiters to take advantage of this trend, that could potentially change tha landscape of recruitment as we have it.

Job boards took the world by storm in the ’90s and then came the online recruitment industry, within Web 1.0. Now with the world feeling the full impact of web 2.0 and its produce (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook etc), information is now being obtained and managed in completely different ways.

Having followed web 2.0 since 2006, and attended a few events in the past, I am begining to see how it will be of value to the recruitment sector, as shown in more recruiters using social media tools to engage with candidates.

Hence, I have just founded Social Recruiter – to further explore Social Media Recruiting and assist Recruiters develop and implement a Social Media Recruitment Strategy.

CareersOilGas.com – Launch Due in July

Posted by Vic Okezie on June 17th, 2009 | No Comments

Have been working a lot on our new oil jobsite, CareersOilGas.com which is due for public launch in July – we hope the 1st. Tidying up lots of codes and getting feedback from early users about better ways to improve their online recruitment experience.

We are starting an online marketing campaign for candidates and recruiters from next week, and generate enough prudent buzz in the early launch stages.

The site has started gaining some SEO grounds, getting indexed in search engines and growing in some rankings. Again, its early days.

We have experienced quite a few interests from major oil & gas recruiters and will further establish our offerings while also listening to them to better understand their needs.

There is competition – which only but makes things more interesting. Will write more updates on this and other endeavors in the days to come.

Posted by Vic Okezie on June 1st, 2009 | No Comments

I am quite pleased to present a new smart 1 page website for Crexia Limited, a rebranded UK online recruitment firm.

The old version will soon be seen on www.crexiaconsulting.com, which will continue to handle Executive Search assignments.

However, the new Crexia Limited will focus on developing online jobsite, job boards and recruitment portals for UK & International markets.

Having said that, its with pleasure that we have launched today a brand new site for the Oil & Gas industry called – CareersOilGas.com

We have been working on this for the last few months, and its currently in its Alpha stage.

I will write more about this in a few days, and will spend the rest of the week developing its beta version which will be available from July 2009. The new site is open for registration by International oil jobs seekers and oil recruiters.
