Job Matching Pilot

Notice Description

RESPONSE DATE EXTENDED The Problem Space and User Needs "How might Technology support job seekers in trying something different. Your service should help with some or all of the challenges that job seekers face in finding jobs they may have not done before" Our recent research has identified the following key steps that are particular problem areas for job seekers. You may want to consider all or some of these areas as part of your response. The solutions would work as a number of independent services that we can use to help job seekers in addition to the Universal Credit (UC) service (not integrated into UC). Planning Some job seekers whose plans are disrupted due to the current climate, may struggle to work out: * How to get to where they want to be * What they want to do next * Who can help them * What they can do realistically * What job will fit with what's important to them including their work and life goals. As a result, they can feel stuck, overwhelmed and demotivated. Searching Some job seekers who may not be familiar with job search or have exhausted their options for some types of jobs, may struggle to work out* Where else to search for available jobs * What other jobs to search for * What they can do differently when applying * If they are completing the application correctly * What else can they do * Who can help them * Where to find the right support including training and up-skilling. As a result, they feel stuck and frustrated in their job search and may miss out on opportunities that might be suitable to them. Applying Job seekers are not always sure: * If they can do the identified job which is different to their old job * If it's the right job for them * How it fits with their wider work life goals and aspirations As a result, job seekers may miss out on opportunities that might be a good fit for them.
