Working Worlds: The virtual recruitment plateform on Second life

The virtual recruitment exhibition now tours the entire Benelux.

Encouraged by the tremendous success of the first virtual Career Fair held in Luxembourg at the end of last year, the Luxembourg based company Gax Technologies is organising a second recruiting event. On May 29 the exhibition Working Worlds opens its doors again on Second Life, this time to all three Benelux countries.

The biggest employers in Belgium, the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will attend and will receive the candidates in their virtual offices or in the Business Center that ' Working Worlds' makes available to Internet users. This new method of recruitment, very in tune with today?s modes of communication, has now become essential with candidates from all over the world being able to participate.

Thanks to "Working Worlds" companies on the lookout for new talents in the areas of finance, information and telecommunications, industry and commerce are equally able to present a creative and dynamic image of their entity. Cornelia den Hartog, Managing Director of "Gax Technologies" and organizer of the Career Fair is entirely convinced. The tremendous success of the first exhibition confirms the quality and originality of this new method of recruitment.

The need for companies to attract new profiles from beyond the territorial limits is becoming more and more important. The Working Worlds Career Fair is in itself the most efficient solution currently available to these companies without having to deploy significant resources?, confirms den Hartog. ?Our partners will be in direct contact with candidates who will not have to travel, but who may meet their future employer Live on Second Life.

The previously held Career Fair for Luxembourg is already the best concretization of the concept. Indeed, with more than 2,000 visitors, 1,500 candidates who filed their CV and 300 interviews that took place, the result has by far exceeded Gax Technologies expectations as well as the participating companies. No less than 50 job openings have been filled as a result of the event.

As preparation to the job-trade day professionals will have access to a great number of resumes, they will be able to select candidates from around the world, while inviting them for an interview for which they do not have to leave their home. A new method to contact and convince candidates who are normally out of the reach for Luxembourg.
For a dynamic candidate this is an easy method to give a good and creative first impression while showing their knowledge. An opportunity to create a first contact and give a push to their career without travelling, loosing time and budget.

In order to participate and have an interview planned in advance, candidates can leave their CV at www.working-worlds.com starting the 15th of September 2007. In collaboration with GAX Technologies, professionals will have their own customised offices or rented space, to hold the interviews, create new contacts and hold company presentations. All communication possibilities offered by Second-Life will be placed at their disposition by GAX Technologies while using the « Luxembourg business » island created for the promotion of business in Luxembourg. Each participating company will not only profit by the job-trade market but will show off an innovative and creative image worldwide.

For companies willing to open their doors for new know-how, virtual job markets will become immanent in the future of the recruitment market.
Luxembourg will always be at the front line for innovative, creative and dynamic solutions, the job market www.working-worlds.com is an excellent proof.
Gax Technologies S.A. steps ahead, once again.
