Computer technology brings together jobs and job seekers VANCOUVER - A Canadian company has implemented a revo- lutionary job recruitment system that has the potential of signifi- cantly impacting the country's em- ployment picture. "Jobs Canada - Thc National Employment Regis- try" has started to amass a data- base containing thousands of re- sumes from job seekers which employers across Canada can in- stantly access over the telephone using simple touchtone com- mands. "It's taken months of planning to put all the pieces together," said J.C.I. Jobs Canada Inc. president Geoff Edmunds, "but we are the first company in Canada to utilize the power of the computer to match the right candidate with the right job, quickly and cost- efficient". The National Employment Reg- istry is surprisingly simple in con- cept and execution. People looking for work, both the unemployed and those who have a job but are seeking a new challenge, forward their resumes to Jobs Canada where they are scanned and en- tered as exact copies into the Na- tional Employment Registry data- base. The resumes are coded and stored under one or more specific job categories. The registrants pay a $20 fee to cover the costs of cod- ing and entering their resumes which will remain on the Registry for three months. However, Jobs Canada is increasing this registra- tion period to six months for re- sumes submitted before the end of September. Edmunds explains that "it will take us two to three months to build up the database so the first three months of registration arc in- cluded at no additional charge." Over the next several months Jobs Canada will be undertaking an extensive advertising campaign directed at both job seekers and employers. Candidates will _ be in- formed how they can put their re- sumes into the National Employ- ment Registry by calling 1 -800 -268 - JOBS, candidates will be given de- tails of the system and an address where they can send their resumes. Those persons who may not have a resume will be sent a resume form on which they can supply the infor- mation needed by an employer and MUM.' it (o us."
