Jobboard Finder’s opinion
Summary: HeadHunter was founded by Mikhail Frolkin and Yuri Virovets in 2000 in Russia. HeadHunter made its first appearance in Kazakhstan in 2000. Originally, the site was for recruiters looking for candidates, before coming a multipurpose job board. The Kazakhstan version has a few social media pages: 10 700 followers on Instagram, 5 595 on Facebook and 22 723 on VK. It is also a very popular site, ranked 50th out of all the sites visited in the country! As many as 1.32 million views a month are recorded. Unfortunately, the site is only partially translated into English, but it is also available in Russian and Kazakh
Design: When you first open the site, it can be a bit confusing to have the login form featured more than the search engine (keywords in CVs, job offers or company names). You can post a CV or a job offer directly from the homepage, or check out the featured jobs and companies (the number of offers are in brackets). The rest of the page is full of lists: articles, different sectors, different cities and different job titles. Once in the job listing, the filters include the region, the salary, the industry, the company branch, the work experience, the employment type, the work schedule and any exclusions (including disability friendly jobs). Without even opening the offers, you can show the contact details of those that have some. The salary is clearly indicated in the listing if the recruiter has provided a range. To sort the offers, you have the date, the salary and the relevance. The job offers are just standard posts, which include a logo. Similar job offers appear under an open one. As for the company pages, there is a description of the company and a logo, or you can opt for a customized page.
