Unlike traditional job search websites where users search by job titles, at jobCogs.com (http://www.jobCogs.com) users have the option to search jobs by quality of life categories such as flexible hours, child care provided, domestic partnership insurance, friendly bosses and dozens of other quality of life categories. A secondary search can be done by job title.
“Employers realize that they can no longer see employees as units of production. As a result many employers are expanding the benefits offered to employees”. “jobCogs.com creates a way for employers to differentiate their jobs from their competition,” said David Palmer, President of jobCogs.com.
Mr. Palmer continued, “For employers quality of life benefits can be the difference between finding, and keeping, the best candidates”. “jobCogs.com offers job postings at a fraction of the price of leading job search websites.”
“We align the interests of job seekers and employers better and less costly than any other website”. “The quality of life search feature creates a customized search that will ultimately produce greater employee satisfaction”. “Satisfied employees stay at their jobs longer and save employers money by reducing the expense of high turnover,” said Mr. Palmer.
“There is also a clear benefit to using jobCogs.com for job seekers. Job seekers now have the ability to tailor their job choices around what’s important to them”. “Both new job seekers and seasoned employees have a desire to balance their work and personal lives. Job seekers can now locate employers who have a respect for this work-life balance,” said Mr. Palmer.
Resume posting is also available on the website. In addition to work experience, jobCogs.com provides job seekers with a special area where they can express themselves through words or pictures. Mr. Palmer said, “We want to do all we can to ensure a great fit. jobCogs is really a people centric company.”
Mr. Palmer continued, “There’s not a lot you can tell from a simple resume because they’re so very structured. We want to give jobseekers every opportunity to let employers know the person behind the resume”. “Job seekers can use our site to explain special circumstances such as gaps in employment or life goals outside of work.” All resume posting are free to registered users.
Where did the name jobCogs come from? The American Heritage Dictionary defines a cog as a subordinate member of an organization who performs necessary but usually minor or routine functions.
“My experience with some managers and employers is that they tend to treat their workers as cogs and not has people”. “Our slogan is - we’re more than jobCogs. I guess the name is a way to give the finger to those misguided managers and owners,” Mr. Palmer said with a huge smile on his face.
