WisdomCircle is disrupting the traditional job market and connecting the worlds of retirement and recruitment through its senior citizen job portal. With the advancement in healthcare, people are living longer, healthier lives, and wanting to take up jobs after retirement. It is imperative that the mind stays engaged and intellectually stimulated to avoid the risk of mental disorders like dementia, Alzheimer’s, and such. We want to make retirement a choice for senior professionals, not a compulsion. The WisdomCircle platform has been designed keeping in mind our target group, the WisGen, and the recruiters who hire them. This blog will delve into some of the ways that have made the WisdomCircle platform the most trusted platform for senior professionals.
- Transparency
We believe in and practise complete transparency in the process of recruitment. WisGen is kept in the loop and updated regularly about their application status and the next steps. We act as a facilitator and try to reduce the anxiety and frustration that comes with waiting for the recruiter to get back.
- Tailor-made Job Opportunities
We are very selective about the companies that list on the WisdomCircle platform. Those who do list are vetted thoroughly by the WisdomCircle internal team. All the job opportunities that are posted on the platform are tailor-made for people above the age of 50 years and require a certain experience and skill-set.
- CV Updation Services
Having a good profile highlighting one’s experience and skills is key to attracting the attention of recruiters. WisdomCircle offers senior professionals the option of getting help for updating their CVs. We help speed up the process of updating the CV and highlight the strengths of the professionals to make it more eye-catching for the recruiters.
- Profile Verification
We offer senior professionals the option of getting their profiles verified through a third-party vendor. This grants more credibility to their profile and appears top of the pile for recruiters to see.
- Job Recommendations
WisdomCircle has an inbuilt AI tool that matches keywords from the candidate’s profile to the job opportunities on the platform and recommends the most relevant ones to the senior professional. This helps professionals find the best job matching their capabilities and experience.
- Video Introduction
The one-minute video introduction allows senior professionals to speak about themselves in their unique style and tell recruiters about their experience, interests, and why they want to work post-retirement. This showcases their communication skills and how well they can articulate their thoughts. It will provide a great window for recruiters to see you through and you can show them whatever you want.
- Psychometric Test
A scientifically researched gamified personality test is available on the WisdomCircle platform which categorises professionals into personalities helping them know more about themselves. This psychometric test also gives recruiters an insight into the kind of worker a retiree is and what motivates and energises them in the workplace. It would help recruiters make faster and more informed decisions about how best the retiree will fit in at their company.
- WisdomCircle Community
WisdomCircle has thousands of senior professionals on the platform which increases by the hundreds every day. We have formed a community of retirees where like-minded people can engage, share ideas and experiences, learn from each other, and grow.
- Engagement Sessions
We organise approximately two engagement sessions in a week by experts and other retirees on various topics spanning the professional sphere. It includes various topics including but not limited to navigating retirement, working post-retirement, writing a will, etc.
