UzJobs introduces resume notes and job seeker search by salary expectations

On October 12, 2015, the popular website for job search and recruitment in Uzbekistan, UzJobs (http://uzjobs.com, http://uzjobs.uz), announced it was introducing new free options for employers registered on the website. 

Thus human resource managers have the opportunity to attach to each resume, either accepted for the vacancy or selected from the general database, their own comments on the candidate, using a special field of “My personal notes”. This field may be utilised for preliminary or summarising assessment of the candidate’s competence, as well as for interview date, interview outcomes, opinion exchange, and others.  

“Our task was to release HR Managers from the necessity of leaving notes about each candidate on paper slips, for example on resume printouts and stickers… Such papers are easy to lose in a pile of documents, but electronic notes do not get lost. Upon being created, they are automatically attached to the resume and rest with it so long this resume is stored in the Personal Account of the company. These notes may be edited, deleted or recreated. We believe that this simple yet comfortable option will prove useful for our users,” says Tamila Kuchkarova, the Head of UzJobs project.

The website’s search system was also modified. Search parameters in UzJobs general database have recently been complemented with the specification of salary expectations. 

“Salary expectations are one of the most important criteria for employers, as it allows them to match their salary possibilities with financial requirements of the respective specialists. While addressing us, HR managers often mentioned the need for such a search option while working in the general resume database. And we are delighted to inform them that this option has already been introduced,” said Darya Shabanova, the Manager of UzJobs project. “And we wholeheartedly welcome further suggestions from our users.”
