Approaching the
tourism industry’s busiest recruiting
period, job seekers, employers, and training
institutions are trying to discover ways to
find positions, fill positions, and promote
programs. The Tourism Work Web streamlines
this process. This online recruitment site
matches job seekers with employers in the
Canadian tourism industry, while training and
educational institutions are able to post
program recruitment campaigns that are
searchable by job seekers.
The Tourism Work Web offers some unique
features compared to other online recruitment
sites. A detailed skills checklist based on
National Occupational Standards allows
employers to list all of the skills and
qualifications that are required for a
particular position, while job seekers are
able to indicate all of their skills,
achievements and qualifications. The result
is employers and job seekers making a more
targeted match.
Another feature offered by the Tourism Work
Web is a virtual career job fair that allows
job seekers to browse through different
company profiles to get a more detailed
description of registered employers.
Employers also have the ability to create
online recruitment campaigns if they have to
fill many positions in their company or
organization.
The Tourism Work Web is continually picking
up momentum. Students are out looking for
jobs and employers are ready to hire. The
site currently has over 440 registered
employers, and over 2,500 resumes have been
posted. A direct link on the Canadian Tourism
Exchange (CTX), the Canadian Tourism
Commission’s internet based business to
business network that is a key business
development tool for over 5,000 tourism
businesses, creates added exposure to the
site. The Tourism Work Web is also a member
of SkillNet.ca, which enables job seekers to
automatically post their resumes from the
Tourism Work Web to the Campus Work Link
site, used regularly by more than 75,000
university students across Canada.
As small and large businesses are out
competing for qualified staff, the Tourism
Work Web is proving to be an effective
recruitment tool for the tourism industry, a
trend that is expected to continue in the
future.
