Job Swap

What is the best way to land a job?

More than 80 percent of jobs get filled via referral according to J.T. O'Donnell.

A 2012 Federal Reserve Bank of New York study found that referred candidates were twice as likely to get interviews and 40 percent more likely to be hired than other candidates.

But how to get a referral if you do not know any insider of a company you want to work for? Of course you can try LinkedIn.

And now there is a new way!

While you want to move from city A to city B (or from company A to company B), there are many people trying to move from city B to city A (or from company B to company A). It is highly likely that some of these people are doing the same or very similar job as you do.

So why don't you find such a person, get to know each other and figure out if you two can be each other's referral?

To open up this huge opportunity, Job Swap is right here for you!

First, it tries to find potential or “to-be-open” positions. So you are already one step ahead of other job seekers who use traditional websites (like Monster) which only publish open positions.

Second, as the other person is also doing same or similar work, you two have good common language and it is much better than superficially chatting with a general recruiter who most likely does not have that much domain knowledge.

Third, as you two try to move to each other’s city or company, it is an advantage or priority over other candidates who do not have such complementary when the position is eventually opened up.

Also it is a good opportunity to expand your professional circle no matter the swapping finally worked out or not.

Convinced? :)

Then try Job Swap, a unique and proactive way to land your dream job!
