Just in case you have not heard, the biggest Ireland’s Industry Network is Giggsy. At least according to Giggsy web site:
Giggzy is a Business Network website. It provides a platform for industry leaders, professionals and job seekers to interact online.
Underneath that lovely introduction there is also a feature to register as a Job Seeker and Employer. The most prominent feature on the site is also the Job Search. You can also exclude agencies in your search.
So what is Giggzy really about?
It is a wana-be jobs site, and a social networking site in one? Kind of like LinkedIN, but for Ireland, and Ireland only? I really like the idea. But the packaging is just awful. The mixture between the jobs site and the networking site in the branding messages is extremely confusing, or just simply put – bad.
The implementation of the web site from the technical perspective is on the level of the site you get for free from a nephew, or a low paid student.
The company behind Giggzy is called: Active Staffing Solutions. It sounds like a recruitment agency, doesn’t it? Is it jet another jobs board by an Irish recruitment agency?
