“We are more than confident that we can help attract the right candidates for the job. Your job advert is not only viewed by over 30,000 registered candidates and over 70,000 jobseekers on our social media groups, we also facilitate their interviews and help them to present themselves to the right sectors. This kind of support helps them so much when it comes to facing interviews and gives many of them opportunities to work for good companies that they might not have had otherwise.” stated Dr. Oshadie Korale.
