Finding Jobs Online

Recruitment campaigns are booming online. Companies such as Zitouna Bank announce their intention to recruit online. Job boards are very popular. Even webmanagercenter plans to join in.
Job searching, a major concern for our young graduates, is increasingly done online. Even the smallest government hiring competition is relayed online. Tools like those provided by Google Insight for Search confirm this. And any online portal administrator will tell you: in Tunisia, articles related to employment are very popular. Tekiano readers, for example, particularly appreciated the "series" of the recruitment campaign conducted by Orange. And articles about Tunisiana are also very popular when the telecom operator announces new job openings. Major companies, such as the new Zitouna Bank, for example, are no longer afraid to first announce their intention to recruit our graduates on their website.
At the beginning of 2009, websites dedicated to job searching, both government and private, generated unprecedented enthusiasm. Certainly, partly because of the economic situation. But also because employers can now more easily find the perfect candidate thanks to online tools. Company managers thus have a wide choice among the annual batches of newly graduated engineers, but also among experienced executives.
In Tunisia, it was the State that first paved the way. Sites like that of the Ministry of Employment and the Professional Integration of Young People; the National Employment Agency; or sites more focused on competitions like the Employment Competition Training site, attest to the efforts made to better support the first steps of our young graduates. But private sites have recently appeared online, each hoping to get a share of the market. Here are some examples of sites that illustrate this trend.
Private portals
Tanitjob.com is one of the first recruitment sites in Tunisia. It is published by Tanit Open Service, an offshore development company. And since 2009, the portal, completely free for both companies and job seekers, has announced an average of 107 CVs per day.
We can also mention Rekrute.com, the leading Moroccan job portal that has just opened a branch in Tunisia, or Keejob.com which, in addition to its Web 2.0 aspect, arrived with a fanfare and urban advertising campaign worthy of the most prestigious brands.
Webmanagercenter.com, the Tunisian portal for economic and financial information, cannot long remain far from a field that promises to be one of the most promising on the Tunisian web. Thus, according to the latest news, WMC plans to launch a job site in turn, which will, however, be an integral part of the portal. It is actually a new service that will enrich the portal's range of services. So, yet another online job site? Not so sure. Insofar as WMC already attracts a relatively large audience of company executives.
A public that could be particularly interested in the profiles presented on a site where they are already accustomed.
However, print newspapers continue to resist. At their head is the newspaper "La Presse" with its timeless Sunday edition and its employment supplement. But it seems clear that the new appeal of the internet is likely, in the medium term, to reverse the trend. Because even in Tunisia, the magic of the newspaper has long since faded.
