NATIONAL: Australia's largest retail property group is aiming to put an end to shop window advertising.
Westfield Ltd and recruitment specialist MyCareer have joined forces to create the first and only website that allows job seekers to browse for jobs within shopping centres and local areas.
The retail sector is the largest employer in Australia with almost 1.5 million workers or 15 per cent of the working population. Westfield's director of business development Michelle Vanzella said the site would help to streamline the recruitment process by focusing on retail jobs only - a break away from generic job websites with no specific industry focus.
General Manager of MyCareer Tony Blamey said the site was suitable for job seekers of all ages across all retail related disciplines. He said the company had worked closely with Westfield to create an exclusive 'Search By Shopping Centre' function.
The website, jobsinretail.com.au, is an employment destination for retailers and job seekers.
