About

"Jobjet believes 'Staff Retention' is only half the story. Companies should approach the HR Department as a revenue stream of returns on training investments, when outplacing staff."

"With Jobjet, managing redundancy is no longer a secret, clandestine activity. Rather, employer transfer is brought out into the open and seen as a natural part of an individual’s and a company’s working relationship."

Jobjet –
The Jobjet concept will challenge the current norms and culture of the relationship between employers and employees.

When you have a good employee, the last thing you want them to do is leave, but people grow and change, personal circumstances change, the work situation evolves, redundancies sometimes occur and sometimes the best thing is for your employee to move on. The workforce now demands, and expects to be given, opportunities and options when circumstances change. This workforce is prepared to put aside loyalty with an employer to achieve career goals, regardless of the employer’s needs. It is now common for Generation Y to change employers once every year on average!

There is a ‘look after number one’ culture in many organisations because employees are the only ones with an interest in their personal career path. When changes occur, employees start looking
for a new job, often without consulting their employer. As a result, your business suffers the loss of a valuable staff member—years of training and investment in that person. If they have to go, why not maximise the benefits for yourself and for them?

With Jobjet you can bring the employee’s career path out into the open, making it part of your business, as their employer, to assist them. Career development and job-seeking becomes a collaboration between employers and employees and is no longer a taboo. When it does come time for a staff member to move on, whether through personal change, work changes or redundancy Jobjet enables you to transfer the employee to another employer for a price. This benefits you financially, it saves the employee from having to job-hunt and it assists other employers in finding valuable staff.

The problem—frictional unemployment

Frictional unemployment exists because both jobs and workers are heterogeneous, and a mismatch can result between the characteristics of supply and demand. Such a mismatch can be related to skills, payment, worktime, location, attitude, taste, and a multitude of other factors.(Wikipedia)

Frictional unemployment is a term that represents the percentage of people in an economy who are not currently employed because they have left one job, or been made redundant, and have not yet started another. What it means for you, the employer, is downtime and waste—downtime because you are having to find/train a new person to fill that position and waste because what you spent on your previous employee’s training and development is no longer of benefit to you.

The Jobjet concept aims to minimise the effect of frictional unemployment by better matching employers and employees. The automated Jobjet system takes into consideration the goals of your organisation and the career development status of an employee who wishes to move on. It enables you to trade staff members to other employers on agreed transfer terms. Employees will see Jobjet registration as an advantage to join with an employer. When it comes time to leave, they will empower you, the employer, to promote their resumes to other employers.

The problem—lack of training

In years gone by, companies budgeted generously for staff training and considered it money well spent. Training was an investment for the future of the company and for the employee’s personal and career development. Nowadays, people change jobs every few years, whenever
something isn’t going right or a better offer comes up. Because of this, businesses are hesitant to train staff—you might be upskilling the leading salesperson for your competition and you’ll get nothing out of it when they leave.

For the sake of your business, the enrichment of your employees and the economy in general, more investment in employees’ skills and training is needed. But how do you recover that cost when a staff member moves on? Jobjet allows employers a ROI in training staff—instead of head-hunting through the grapevine.Other employers will come directly to you through Jobjet. They will prefer you over all the others because you are the one who has been working with and training the employee. They will pay you for a quality employee. This means that you can be confident to invest more in personnel training.

Jobjet’s web-based trading platform for trading staff with other employers will empower you to on-sell employees in view of their training and experience. It will increase workforce productivity and allow you to make a return on investment in staff training.

The problem—cost of redundancy

When a company finds itself in a position where it must make staff redundant, the expense of doing so has to be factored in. Employers using redundancy are often in difficult times financially.
What if instead of paying out staff, businesses could sell their staff to other employers quickly and easily? This doesn’t only reduce the cost of redundancy, nor does it simply eliminate redundancy, it turns it into a way to recover some of the expenses related to employing and training staff!

Transfer Options

Jobjet offers a variety of employment transfer options, which depends on the following:

♦ Why the employee is moving on (redundancy, resigned, asked to leave etc.)
♦ The employee’s career status and circumstances
♦ The company’s business type and current position in relation to employing staff

Employees will elect to transfer up, transfer down, transfer across/over, free transfer or transfer on sequester with other employers.

Transfer Up:
To advance to a position with opportunities for learning, promotion and/or management. ‘Transferring up’ is good for employees who are over-qualified for their current job, desire higher pay or want self-development opportunities you cannot offer them.

Transfer Down:
To take a less demanding position with less responsibility and/or complexity. Staff in high stress roles will sometimes want to slow down, experience a sea-change or go into semi-retirement.

Transfer Across/Over:
To move into a similar position to the current one. Reasons employees may wish to ‘transfer across’ include moving interstate, desiring a new mix of work colleagues and wishing to broaden
their knowledge of their chosen industry.

Free Transfer:
Some employees need to change their job and are not worried about the level of the new opportunity. This may occur when employees are forced to move, have experienced conflict at the current workplace or are in a hurry to make the change.

Transfer On Sequester:
A transfer to temporarily work for someone else. Employees may wish to experience a different working environment, and if you currently have a quiet period, you can ‘on sequester’ them to another employer for a little or as much time as desired.
