Depa career portal reflects leadership with a bold design to enhance employer brand
The newly launched http://www.depa.jobs/ is the latest talent acquisition strategy being deployed by global interior solutions leader Depa to attract and engage quality candidates. Depa has been responsible for the interior fit out of some of the world's most exotic structures including the Burj Al Arab and The Emirates Palace. Depa is working with Hiring Solutions, the region's dominant player in the enterprise e-recruitment solutions industry, to create an online employer presence that is incomparable in this part of the world.
Don Mitchell, Talent Acquisition Director, Depa, says, "A dedicated career portal is far more strategic in the war for talent than most people realise. Quality people get their first impression of a prospective employer based on its web presence. As the biggest interior solutions company in the world we wanted to make a good first impression on future employees and tell them why Depa is a great place to work. The obvious choice was to harness the power of the internet to reach out to the best candidates, regardless of which time zone they live in and to benchmark the portal against global leaders."
The career portal goes beyond the tried and tested mechanism of sections talking about life in Dubai and current vacancies. Every minute detail within the website has been created with just one aim: to provide enhanced candidate experience and to improve the employer brand.
Mohammed Owais, Head of Research & Development, Hiring Solutions, says, "We know that Depa seeks to employ both people who have leadership skills, and those who have future potential to be trained and developed at Depa University. This is why we engaged creative minds to draw up a bold design that reflects leadership. The final outcome is a radical looking career portal that is powerful yet simplistic, and eye-catching yet easy to navigate."
The career portal informs jobseekers about Depa's portfolio of companies around the world, timelines detailing the landmark projects carried out over the decades and a visual library of employee events. The career portal also enlightens visitors about the career choices available, live maps with location-based vacancies, interviews with people working within the organisation, and more.
