Our Dream of Better Employment

As Egypt passes by this very critical time of its history, it is believed that work and productivity alone would be our key to development and success. As much as the Egyptian workforce has so much potential and has always been identified by high skills, today workers need lots of guidance and polishing to be able to work where they fit the most. Being comfortable and qualified for a job is an essential requirement for good productivity. So with the great frustration expressed by employers seeking blue collar workers there was a need for a decent facilitator initiative.

A Recruitment System Tailored for Blue Collar Jobs

BasharSoft has always aspired to make a revolutionary change in the employment conditions in Egypt, and today we’ve got really good news for those sharing our dream. We’ve come to make an agreement with the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) that shall place a firm foundation for candidate and job matching, especially for blue collar jobs. We’re providing an innovative platform for those hourly paid manual workers who can only invest in their skill. That’s not it; the system is going to be designed to allow intermediaries to use the system on the behalf of the workers for a more efficient and fair talent management and recruitment system.

Providing Decent High Quality Jobs

To address the problem of unemployment, the Egyptian German Business Community in Egypt in collaboration with the AHK and the German Federal Government have undertaken the initiative of establishing a National Employment Pact (NEP) – and Employment Centre that will help in addressing the problem of unemployment. The main objective of both initiatives is to curb unemployment problems and provide sustainable job opportunities for Egyptian youth, mainly those seeking blue collar jobs. The emphasis is on providing decent high quality jobs and therefore certain criteria will be taken into consideration when acquiring job opportunities. Such criteria includes: respectable salaries, safe working conditions, gender balanced opportunities, and contracts that ensure employees’ rights. Both aim at undertaking orientation courses for job applicants and promoting improved working conditions in an effort to bridge the gap between job seekers and employment opportunities in the job market.

The Agreement – A Sneak Peak

BasharSoft will develop an open source, web-based software solution as a crucial tool for management of data in the process of employment facilitation. This tool will be used by employment facilitators to facilitate matching and placement serving job seekers and employers, building on the BasharJobs web application.

The system will build a database for job seekers and companies including all the available job vacancies. Using a set of applications, the system will support smart match making between applicants and jobs and provide feedback and comments about job applicants. We’ve agreed on having a database of the Arab Standards Classification as well. In order to guarantee better evaluation and screening of applicants, there will be a reporting system with analytical utilities to be used by employers and all parts of the system will be fully manageable by employment facilitators. Bilingual interface will also be provided as per GIZ’s request.

The final version of the application is planned to be delivered by the end of February 2012, so stay tuned to as we provide you with the updates.

Since our launch in 2009, BasharSoft has created innovative technology solutions to help organizations, universities, and governments make the best of their human capital and enable them to more efficiently recruit and place their employees, trainees, students and job seekers.

Our aim has been allocating our top notch human resources and unrecognized talents in the most suitable jobs where they would succeed and be creative. We are constantly looking for new ways to super boost our recruitment systems.

KEY Project by the EJB Association

Based on the belief that the academic experiences of graduates are not sufficient in preparing them to meet the requirements of the dynamic job market, the EJB (Egyptian Junior Business Association) has been developing the multi-faceted KEY program.

It is fully committed to students in:

1-     Understanding the needs of the present-day job market and identifying the skills required from the graduates to meet those needs

2-     Creating an effective approach by establishing a permanent “blueprint” that will address the ever-growing gap between graduates’ skills and the skilled caliber demanded by the job market

It is also fully committed to employers in:

1-     Provide the right caliber for internship opportunities

2-     Potential match for the qualifications required in an employment vacancy

Announcing the Deal!

Extending from our mission we are so excited today to announce that we have reached another promising agreement, this time with the Egyptian Junior Business Association (EJB).

This is literally excellent news for young talents striving for a good job opportunity!

BasharSoft will be allocating part of its BasharJobs recruitment portal for KEY students. We’ll also be providing the program with full reports about the employment opportunities of KEY students to keep track of the program achievements. In adherence with our mission, we’ll be providing statistics and information to the KEY program that should support with their mission.

This deal creates a solid long-term foundation for both parties to meet their mutual objective, which is bridging the gap between talented, unrecognized job seekers and employers seeking exceptional recruits.

We at BasharSoft are extremely happy to make this announcement today. It’s a huge step forward and will definitely improve fresh graduate employment conditions big time!
