We love how Pnet.co.za describes themselves: "Pnet is the place where possibilities begin. Where great candidates and employers meet. This is what we do every day – it's what we love doing and it's what we're good at." And that is what job searching is all about, finding those possibilities and opportunities!
Well established
One of the advantages of Pnet.co.za is that they are well established and have been around since 1997. Their numbers are equally impressive, and they claim to have over 2 600 recruiters and over 2 million professional job seekers. And if that's not enough to impress you, they also claim to have 1 600 000 unique visits to their website each month. So, we think we can give the popularity of their site a big tick.
On the downside, their Job Seeker tab for blogs and career advice hasn't been updated since 2018. So rather stay with us for the advice and professionally designed CVs and use them for that all-important job search.
Easy registration!
Registration is straightforward and involves providing standard information like your personal details, work experience, education, skills, and language. Finally, you need to attach your CV, and thankfully our CV maker allows you to download that stand-out-from-the-crowd CV in a pdf file which is just what you need!
One functionality that we think is brilliant is that you can block certain companies from seeing your profile, which is rather handy if you don't want your current employer to know you are on the lookout.
Simple searching
Searching should be simple, and we like that there are multiple ways to search, from the job title, skill, and company to your location preference. We especially like the ability to filter by popular searches (we always love knowing what everyone else is getting up to!)
Once you have registered, there is a great tab called My Jobs where you can view jobs you have saved and applied for and jobs they recommend based on your skills.
And yes, they do have a mobile app that is equally easy to use and makes searching from your local coffee shop a dream.
On a final note …
Job searching can be challenging, but with a professionally designed CV and a great job search site, your dream job is just a click away.
