Why we do it

Businesses are all about people...

Yes it is an old cliché, but it is as true today as it has ever been, perhaps even more so. We, the people who live and breathe Kaonix, believe passionately in what we do. We recognise that no matter how good our software is (and we sincerely believe it is the best at what it does), it is only a part of the overall solution. That is why we provide so much more than technology, through our consultancy, media and creative design services.

Our aim is to provide an overall online recruitment solution that consistently meets and exceeds our customers' expectations. Technology forms an important part of that solution, but it is the skills and depth of knowledge which our people bring to the relationship which makes the real difference and sets Kaonix apart.

We never lose sight of the fact that the key to our continued success is your success and the trust and confidence our existing customers place in our abilities has been well earned and is much respected.

If you are still wondering why we do it, just take a look at some of the findings of the CIPD 2007 Recruitment Survey *: Key reasons for recruitment difficulties are lack of necessary specialist skills (65%), followed by higher pay expectations (46%) and insufficient experience (37%). 73% of organisations still engage recruitment agency services to help fill job vacancies. Most respondents agree or strongly agree that using agencies considerably increases the cost of their recruitment spend (76%). 59% fail to evaluate agency performance. A third of employers don't possess a preferred supplier list. 81% of those employers using recruitment agencies do so for hiring temporary workers and 78% for seeking permanent staff. The key driver for organisations moving away from using recruitment agencies is to cut down on recruitment costs (72%). Adopting a direct-hire strategy is also identified as another motive for not using or reducing the use of agency services (53%). The following initiatives were found to help organisations to overcome recruitment difficulties: Using the employer brand as a recruitment tool (75% say it has a positive impact but only 31% currently use). Offering flexible working (74% say it has a positive impact but only 30% currently use). Targeting migrant workers from EU countries and recruiting staff from abroad (75% say it has a positive impact but only 14% currently use). Still wondering? A 2007 survey by Totaljobs found the following: 75% of job seekers stated that if they had a bad experience applying for a job, they would not use the products or services of that company.
