LAOAG CITY—“This is the new
age of recruitment,” said Nicole Rudio, provincial manager of the Public
Employment Service Office (PESO) as the Ilocos Norte Jobs Portal, a one-stop
access with superior job-matching capabilities with extensive reach was
officially launched on June 6 at the La Tabacalera function hall here.
Attended by industry players
that included private employers and local business owners, the new website
administered by the Information Technology department of the Ilocos Norte
government features an accessible, easy to use and free of charge website that
aims to match up job applicants and employers in just a few click of the mouse.
For employers who would want
to post a job, Ms. Rudio said the locos Norte Jobs portal can help you reach
more qualified candidates than ever before.
Simply go to: www.ilocosnorte.gov.ph/jobs, register and
submit the necessary requirement to the provincial PESO email: locosnorte@yahoo.com.
Open 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, the local jobs portal of Ilocos Norte can be access through a
computer with internet, tablet or android phones.
Elated with the opening of
the website, provincial administrator Windell Chua, who represented Ilocos
Norte Gov. Ma. Imelda “Imee” R. Marcos, said that by coming out with a unity of
purpose, there will be a bigger development in the employer and employee sector
as the province more towards inclusive economic growth.
“This is an efficient way of
providing opportunities. When there’s delay, opportunities are lost,” Mr. Chua
added.
To boost the job creation
program of the Marcos administration being popularized as “Manang Imee =
Trabaho”, the task force trabaho program continue to develop new ways to match
job seekers to the needed work force.
Also, she noted during her
State of the Province Address in 2013, “For only jobs guarantee a permanent
pathway out of poverty- and our challenge today is to create stable,
wage-paying quality jobs that will finally end poverty in the province.”
Through the conduct of job
fairs, the PESO reported an accomplishment of 107.69 percent last year with 346
participating employers, 29,925 solicited number of vacancies and a total of
3,977 registered applicants.
A mobile application version
of the jobs website is also being considered to foster its expansion in the
future.
“Only jobs
guarantee a permanent pathway out of poverty—and our challenge today is to
create stable, wage-paying quality jobs,” Ms. Marcos said in her state of the
province address last year, highlighting her constant support for the creation
of more jobs for Ilocanos. Through the jobs website project, it is expected
that this priority will be further realized.
