JobCrystal has got to be one of the easiest ways to find a new job. (We'd like to say it's THE easiest way, but someone might be busy inventing some crazy machine that taps into your brainwaves and finds you work telepathically, and then we'd be lying.) Here's why JobCrystal is the busy person's friend:

• We do pretty much all of the work for you.
• You can fill in your profile in manageable bite-sized chunks, as you have time.
• We actively monitor the employment market on an ongoing basis.
• We bring job offers to you. Right into your inbox.
• We send you a text message each time you're shortlisted for a job, so you don't even have to remember to log in and check!

Job-hunting is tricky when you're already employed. For one thing, you have to keep coming up with new and convincing excuses for taking time off to go to interviews. Now we can't really help you with that, but what we can do is promise you complete discretion and confidentiality when you use our site. We will not share your information with anyone at all until you give us permission to do so. It's that simple.

JobCrystal is for people who see their work as something meaningful, rather than just a way to pass the time and earn a few bucks. We'll help you to manage your career in a whole lot of ways.

Here are just a few:

• We will provide career pathing information, to help you see where your current career could lead, and to establish what your next move should be in order to get to where you really want to go.
• We'll be making use of personality profiling to help you to find your passion and figure out what would make you want to bounce out of bed each morning.
• As our membership base grows, we'll be able to tell you what kind of jobs people with similar skills and interests to you have enjoyed and found fulfilling.
• We'll suggest skills that you should consider acquiring and developing in order to move in your chosen direction.
• We'll provide you with an ongoing service. JobCrystal is not about finding a single job, on one occasion. It's about managing your career, staying in the market, and always being available for your next job to find you.

Different things are important to different people...

• Some people need a kind boss who won't get grumpy at them for no apparent reason.
• Others need flexible working hours so that they can get to their children's sporting activities, or sleep in from time to time.
• You might like a window in your office, or a really expensive coffee machine in the company kitchen.
• Perhaps you're really hoping to work somewhere that has pool tables, regular company outings, beer o'clock every Friday afternoon, a creche on the premises, or in-house gym facilities.

We know that being happy at your job isn't only about how much money you take home at the end of the month. So when it comes to matching you with suitable job offers, we take a whole host of your personal tastes and preferences into consideration.

Sadly, “networking” is an over-used buzzword that's come to be associated with slick salespeople, self-promotion, and... breakfast. But that's not what we mean at all. When we say that we offer networking opportunities, we mean that we will hook you up with people in your field, doing the same or similar work, so that you can talk shop, share your challenges, and learn from one another.

We're a job-seeker marketing agency, not a recruitment agency. This means that we won't hound you to go for interviews, and we won't bombard you with hundreds of phone-calls and emails. Each time you're shortlisted for a position, we'll notify you by text message and send you an email containing enough information about the employer and the position to allow you to make an informed choice. If you choose not to pursue the opportunity, that will be the end of it. No begging, no coercion, no “just go along to the interview and see what it's all about because you never know – you might like it!”

JobCrystal is for

• high-potential job-seekers
• people who have niche skills
• those who have trouble explaining their occupation in a single sentence
• problem-solvers
• knowledge workers
• professionals
• individuals who seek out challenges
• those who enjoy learning and constant improvement

Not about Brad and Angelina and their seventy adopted children, no; but about the things that matter – what you should be earning on your current job grade, what skills you need to develop in order to move up the ladder, which careers are recession-proof, who's currently hiring, that sort of thing. As our membership base grows, we'll be accumulating and publishing all sorts of interesting data and resources to give you a better feel for what's happening out there in the job market.

JobCrystal is all about putting the power back into the hands of job-seekers. Picture yourself as a king (or queen, if you're of the girl persuasion). You're sitting on your throne, with a big jewel-covered staff in your hand, while your minions bring you offers of trade from faraway lands. Some you summon closer so that you can get a better look at what's being offered (a three-storey castle by the sea sounds like a reasonable swap for 100 of your sheep, for instance), whilst others you shoo away immediately with that big staff of yours (because really, who in their right mind trades their daughter for a couple of bags of “magical sand”?). That's pretty much what JobCrystal is like, although we provide a dashboard rather than an actual throne.

• We bring you the job offers, and you choose whether or not you'd like a closer look.
• We host networking events, and you choose whether or not to go along to them.
• We suggest skills you might need, and you decide whether or not to acquire them.
• We give you the resources, and you map out your own career path.
