Back 4 Good the new online platform targeting skilled professionals from overseas has just exceeded 113,000 users.
The platform has a number of key differences that set it apart from standard job boards and recruitment agencies websites .
Users are spread across the Globe with interesting interactions from New Zealand, Australia and Asia
Each sector is covered on the site and the site is driven by providing content that is of interest to passive users who are highly skilled professionals .
The platform created it’s own Academy www.back4goodacademy.com in direct response to employers and users demand as up skilling courses are required as returnees integrate back into Ireland .
B4G Media plan to run a number of key fairs in a selected number of cities that are now part of the Back 4 Good concept .These events will take place from September in New Zealand and in October in Australia with Canada taking place in November.
It is planned that these events will include an ” old style ” expo which will give information on all aspects of living and working in Ireland and a virtual recruitment show were prescreened candidates will be interview at the event through Skype or Face Time.
Back 4 Good has implemented user feedback for this new platform and the county by county Talent strategy is attracting significant interest among the Irish abroad who wish to return home to their own town village or city .
The original campaign have exceeded its targets ” we built the brand at street level through clever social media and went live last year, our targets each month have exceeded my expectations , our focus on a county by county strategy is a winner,it makes no sense to attempt to try and encourage people to live and work in Ireland by a focus on Dublin all the time, opportunities are now available in many towns and cities throughout Ireland and we intend to develop our online county talent registers to meet the demand from employers both private and state ”
The platform is looking for state involvement as the user numbers expand ” there is a lot of spare capacity in the Department of Social Protection now that unemployment is at 7% ,the Department still has the same placement staff that were there when unemployment was at 17%, we are looking for these expert skilled staff to work on our county strategy and become active in matching and placing the users on our platform into positions with employers in each town and village in Ireland “
Ireland needs a consolidated program to bring together all overseas Talent programs into one platform.This approach is cost effective and measured and will deliver results by expanding Ireland’s Talent Pool and fill many unfilled roles in all sectors .
