Dot-Friends (see link above) asked me if I for a small thank the multimedia Job Market
Head Zoom take, which is still in beta, even under the microscope and do my opinion known could - Here you read now my Review.
Head Zoom is a new job portal that has been specializing in engineering professionals, especially engineers of all disciplines.
Because the portal is still in the testing phase, of course, I can not say much about the jobs, but I can imagine that in the future there too many IT jobs are to be found (finally there are also computer science engineers).
In times of shortage of skilled workers, especially in technical professions, the idea of a tailor-made job portal is of course ideal.
Especially SMEs suffer well known, often including that these professionals often find either unaktraktiv or do not at first.
Head Zoom aims to counteract this and bring together workers with medium-sized employers.
In addition to the typical job description Curious find that is still in addition to the job descriptions video interviews with business owners and department heads who report on your company and the position to be filled.
But first the visual impression:
The design is very discreet held, what the technical audience underlines. Nevertheless, a few subtle colors more would not hurt the overall impression, because it nevertheless feels a bit sterile.
The portal is clearly structured and easy to understand and offers on the home page a photo-strip, to the present, the past entrepreneurs.
With one click you can learn the way quickly to what a person is and to what company she works.
A small menu in the bottom left corner offers you the possibility quickly navigate to the area you seek.
Now we come to the actual job search:
Since it is a precisely tailored job portal for a particular Kundenclientel, a laborious input of place-circumlocution is unnecessary in the targeted Positonssuche.
With a few clicks you can filter for interesting activity areas and provinces to find suitable jobs.
In addition, the seeker is a full-text search, with which he / she can search the job titles and employers data.
It would be nice if this search would include the detailed job descriptions with, since there often occur the actual keywords by which often is wanted and not necessarily in the job title.
Moreover, additional filtering using the postal codes would be very helpful.
Just when the portal offers more vacancies, a listing only after federal states will be too coarse.
Video-Interviews
The interviews, which I have looked at me were amazingly informative and did feel like a personal conversation with the party responsible. So the industry as well as the actual work were in the interviews information on corporate formation, added.
The concept that those who are interested can get an idea by employers only before they decide to write an application, go on in any case.
In the interviews, a lot more comes across of the different personalities of entrepreneurs, and it is a bit more from the working environment and the daily reports than in a dry job posting.
Conclusion
Overall, I find the idea of a tailored job portal for technical academics well.
The integration of video for company presentation I find succeeded.
For medium-sized companies as well as for employees as a portal would finally a great way to find more quickly.
Only at the optical as well as in the search function, the party responsible should still work.
Then you can just press your fingers crossed that notify enough entrepreneurs in this portal so that job seekers in the future may also be able to find.
I press any event the thumbs!
