An EPCglobal product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team May 26, 2003

When the rebuilding plans for Iraq were announced to the public, engineering and construction professionals swarmed to EPCjobs.com.

When the rebuilding plans for Iraq were announced to the public, engineering and construction professionals swarmed to EPCjobs.com - the jobs and candidate website of EPCglobal - and submitted resumes and personal profiles.

More than 10,000 job candidates have registered since the announcement hit the press, and the number of applicants keeps growing.

What makes this jobs-candidate matching engine capable of successfully processing this information is its state-of-the-art technology and feedback from EPCglobal's recruiters and job candidates, who have helped the development team improve and refine the website since its incubation.

Version 1.4 of EPCjobs.com was launched in January of this year.

This state-of-the-art application connects the industry's labour pool directly with EPCglobal's client companies, staffing agency partners and its own expert recruiters via a database of detailed candidate profiles and open job requisitions.

Version 1.4 of the application features a distinct focus on helping the hiring manager, a unique perspective for an industry-focused recruitment website.

According to EPCjobs.com Project Manager Rebecca Nathenson, "We are continually improving the website precisely for occasions like this situations that require immediate response.

What has helped us dramatically has been feedback by recruiters as they've adopted use of the site into their daily activities.

They also relay what they hear from candidates and client hiring managers what they are pleased with, and their frustrations, so we can quickly address new functional requirements".

"What's going on now is definitely one of those situations that can't be put on the back burner.

Thousands of engineering and construction professionals from around the world seeking adventure, challenge, and life experience are setting their sites on Iraq.

EPCglobal has received calls and emails from people based in America, Europe, South America, the Middle East, East Asia and Australia wanting to relocate to Iraq to work on the rebuild of its infrastructure".

"We are very proud to see our website handling so many people registering at the same time".

said EPCjobs.com Chief Technical Officer Mary Inman.

"However, we think this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The site has been built to manage much more traffic than this initial burst".

Job seekers should register their information on the "request info" page on the website.
