Doolit, the international IT portal that is profitable for all of its users
|
|
Launched at the very beginning of the year, the portal dedicated to recruitment and to international IT information can lay claim to distinctions that set it apart from other web supports. |
Is Doolit just another IT information and recruitment portal?
Indeed, there are many recruitment sites on the web while there is no shortage of IT information sites… However, it would appear that no one has been interested in answering a need that Doolit responds to: providing applicants and recruiters with an information tool geared to helping them better understand the situation of the IT sector in other regions of the world: better informed about what is going on elsewhere, IT applicants will be better able to take advantage of opportunities offered by international recruiters. Recruiters will also learn how to stay abreast of how things are done in faraway countries and to recognize the great value of foreign applicants. That's why Doolit is primarily aimed at open-minded users that are aware of the obligation to formulate a clear idea of their sector at the international level and not solely in their country or even in their region.
Do social networks already provide access to job offers abroad?
Certainly. Moreover, we have nothing against connecting Doolit with social networks that offer a real, effective solution regarding international job hunting. Quite the contrary! Likewise, the ads appearing on Doolit will soon appear on Twitter job search and LinkedIn, two complementary and very professional international tools. In the same spirit, recruitment cabinets, regardless of whether they have a recruitment site, remain full-fledged recruiters referenced on Doolit.
So "Doolit writers" are additionally in charge of keeping applicants up-to-date with the IT news of their country?
In fact, it's all about creating a community of writers (who may happen to be applicants as well) around Doolit that are capable of providing a high-quality contribution to the knowledge of what is actually going on in their region from which everyone can fully benefit. For example, Laura, our correspondent in Buenos Aires, is a database expert. However, she also keeps a close eye on happenings in this major south American capital. All Doolit users, applicants and recruiters alike, benefit from her commentary and analysis. The articles by Doolit editors are associated with wire services from the best online IT reviews in English, French and Spanish to give users a comprehensive overview of international IT information. In this way, both professional journalists and amateur writers contribute their fair share to information on Doolit.
Just what does the "Doolit writer" get out of it?
An untold amount of information transits the web everyday. Meanwhile, being identified within a special field such as that of new information technologies and telecommunications is quite challenging. Writing precise IT content on a portal geared to dealing with this type of subject is a good way to set oneself apart from the crowd… What's more, if, as Doolit proposes, such content is distributed in several languages (3 for the time being, but others will soon follow), an additional international dimension is gained by this writer. That represents a substantial advantage for those who dare gaze out across the world without getting cold feet…
What about recruiters?
Recruiters enjoy clear benefits from publishing recruitment ads on Doolit. They capture the interest of the entire spectrum of IT applicants from the best universities who seek an international job, despite the fact that an applicant might very well be looking for a job in their own country and interest a recruiter with the same nationality as their own. Meanwhile, it is impossible to over emphasize the role that cultural diversity plays in boosting development within companies. Clearly, bringing "new blood" to the company by recruiting 10 to 15% of foreign staff is a guarantee that existing staff will not rest on their laurels. To ensure the greatest impact of recruitment ads published on the web, Doolit suggest that registered companies use specific tools such as press releases and mini-sites that help provide the textual content that is indispensable for referencing of the company recruiting over the web.
Do you think Doolit will continue to evolve?
Of course! In addition to the functionalities that will be added very soon (connection to Twitter job search and LinkedIn) other developments in the coming year will concentrate on finding ways to allow recruiters to better qualify the applications that interest them, with preference given to reading CVs. Doolit will then constitute a complete sourcing tool. Without a doubt, the most rigorous and regular contributors (writers and HR companies registered on Doolit) will reap financial rewards according to an operating method that is currently being studied.
