Readily available on our platform at no cost is the advertisement of verified job postings from various organisations, classed by organisation type and industry. These include job positing which Cr8 has been engaged to recruit for as well as those being sourced directly and by other agencies. Of course, job openings such as these are very competitive, hence Cr8 critically engages job-seekers (online and offline) through our intensive programmes to optimize their chances of success. These online services are;
Critical Engagement

Interview Skills & Support: Cr8 recognizes that many-a-times the difference between frequent attendance at assessment centres and the offer letter is the talent’s ability to sell him/her self and express their expertise appropriately at the interview. Cr8 offers online interview skills training via webinars and also a support centre where researched interview questions are asked and suggested answers provided to facilitate that interview phase which is the final job clincher.
Learning & Development: Knowledge gaps have been identified as the major reason behind the seeming lack of intellectual competence exhibited in employees from employers’ feedback.

All online services designed for the job seeker are available offline with further more detailed consultation.
