Refugeeswork.at is an online job platform for refugees.
We make refugees´ potential accessible to the labor market and break down negative stereotypes towards refugees, while helping employers to find hidden talents and benefit from increased corporate diversity.
Detailed Information:
Refugeeswork.at is an online job platform that connects refugees and employers in order to make refugees´ potential accessible for the labour market.
Refugees can register for free, create professional online resumes (“profiles”) very easily, are informed about promotional and educational offers and apply for volunteering positions (“Volontariate”), internships (“Praktika”), apprenticeships (“Lehren”), jobs and the voluntary social year (“Freiwillige soziale Jahr”).
Employers can:
- List vacancies, which we propose to refugees through our matching algorithm
- Search directly for employees. („Talentsuche“).
Our matching as well as the possibility to search takes
- background (former education & profession)
- language level
- place of residence
- asylum status
- quality of the profile/resume
into consideration.
Moreover, we provide:
- easy to understand legal information,
- downloads of all bureaucratic forms incl. help texts,
- information on relevant public grants and subsidies,
- integrational concepts (e.g. culture, communication, religion etc.) to ease the process of integrating refugees into new organisational structures,
- an online messaging system with integrated calendar,
- online-webinars to prepare refugees for the labour market entrance (“currently in progress”)
By this we provide a one-stop-shop solution for employers addressing the mayor problems they face when they want to hire refugees, namely:
- lack of legal information and uncertainty,
- finding the best qualified refugees,
- bureaucratic & administrative issues,
- cultural and religious barriers (namely: the integration of refugees into their organisational structures),
- different communication channels,
- wrong expectations & insufficiently prepared candidates (by automatically briefing them for interviews, the first day etc. - thanks to our calendar integration and automated mails/meesages - and via our online webinars.
