AWDC to launch Antwerp Diamond Jobs for Antwerp’s diamond industry

The Antwerp World Diamond Centre is launching a jobtool - ‘Antwerp Diamond Jobs’, on May 23rd 2013, the first jobsite targeted specifically at the Antwerp diamond industry, as a broader platform for job seekers and employees to connect.

The Antwerp Diamond Jobs will be available beginning May 23rd, on http://www.adjobs.be.

Ari Epstein, CEO Antwerp World Diamond Centre mentioned that in 2012, AWDC launched it new strategic plan in which one aspect was to ‘maintain and reinforce employment in the Antwerp diamond industry’. He further elucidated the approach of the job seeker is not of finding work in a particular company but in the industry overall which has over 1800 registered diamond companies in Antwerp, as such making it difficult to gain an overview of companies within such large numbers. He also noted that “this initiative will not only make it easier to find a job, but it will also help the diamond companies in their search to find suitable employees”. The jobsite will allow diamond companies to post vaccancies online, free of charge, while applicants will have free access to the full list of actual vacancies in the Antwerp diamond industry and potential candidates can upload and edit their personal profile online.

Ari Epstein further also said that, “On a yearly basis, we expect to post an average of approximately 150 job openings online. In regard to jobs, the Antwerp diamond industry is surprisingly diverse. Diamond companies are not only looking for diamond polishers or diamond graders, they also need administrative personnel, marketing profiles, IT employees and much more.”

The jobsite will be launched in the presence of Mr. Mark Van Peel, Alderman for employment in Antwerp, in the AWDC building in the Hoveniersstraat 22. Alderman for employment in Antwerp said, “Considering the economic importance of the Antwerp diamond industry cannot be underestimated, I am delighted AWDC launches the jobsite ‘Antwerp Diamond Job’s. Initiatives like this will help to solve the labor market paradox.”
