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."

ment opportunities across the coun-
try. Moreover, the job seeker's $20
investment frees them from the time
consuming task of poring over
newspapers and writing letters. Inc
National Employment Registry's
computer "pounds the pavement" on
their behalf. If candidates have not
accepted a position before the end
of the registration period, they will
be advised how many times their re-
sumes were accessed by employers
and asked if they wish to re -register.
With all candidates, complete con-
fidentiality is assured.
Using simple voice instructions,
the National Employment Registry
computer will tell the employer to
enter the code for the position to be
filled. The computer will advise the
employer how many resumes on file
satisfy the employer's requirements
and will ask how many of these the
employer wishes to have faxed. Em-
ployers then enter their fax numbers
and the computer sends the request-
ed resumes overnight.
