Aptitus

Site's statement

Jobboard Finder’s opinion

Summary: Created in 2009, Aptitus is a Peruvian job board, which offers a variety of jobs to its users. It has 428 320 followers on Facebook, 1 458 on Instagram, 74 275 on LinkedIn, 7 123 on Twitter and 1 633 on YouTube. Based on those figures, it is not surprising to learn that it is among the top job boards in the country, attracting 1.76 million people every month. The team recently launched a campaign to promote work for disabled people and it regularly conducts studies to determine how the labour market is evolving. The current director is Alejandra Fonseca (who you can see in a number of the YouTube videos).

Design: The search engine (keywords) stretches out across the homepage, over a backdrop image and promotional writing. Key figures appear just underneath as well as sliding logos of companies. Some offers are also featured on the homepage. There are a few popups, which can be annoying, but they aren’t that frequent. In the job listing, the filters (zone, level, salary, location, date, type of hours, company, and handicap friendly) appear on the left-hand side. Publication dates and logos are visible in the listing. Other than the logo, there is no particular branding. Offers can be labelled as premium or platinum. This doesn’t affect the layout though, which consists of useful information the top of the page, followed by a description and requirements (they can both be closed). A logo and a banner image cover the top of the page.

The job board objective: Aptitus helps jobseekers in Peru find relevant job offers.

Recruiter observations: Recruiters can post for free and it’s very easy to create an account.

Jobseeker observations: It’s easy to create an account, but you are then expected to fill out a very detailed online CV.

The job offers: There are currently 9 847 offers are online. Most of them are for technician/operator jobs, followed by analysist/assistant and company manager positions.

Reactivity: You can contact the team through Facebook. The team answers quickly.

Special features: The YouTube videos; the blog (with different sections); the Twitter feed; the app; the seminars (which includes a gallery of photos); the courses.

 Verdict: The site sends out many automatic emails, which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. That said, the design is clear and informative. The filters enable users to visualise the current vacancies before even searching. Being able to post easily is also an key feature.
