新西兰升级就业网站 帮助求职者与雇主更精准匹配
新西兰社会发展及就业部长路易丝·厄普斯顿表示，政府正在升级就业网站，并引入职位匹配技术，帮助更多求职者与雇主实现更有效的对接。
社会发展部（MSD）原有的 Kimi Mahi Mai – Find a Job 求职网站，现已被升级后的 MyMSD Jobs 网站取代。
厄普斯顿表示，社会发展部的职责是帮助有工作能力的人进入就业市场，同时协助雇主找到合适的人选。
“随着经济逐步复苏，领取求职者支持（JobSeeker Support）的人以及潜在雇主，都需要一个现代化并符合实际需求的MSD就业网站。这次升级将更好地帮助求职者脱离福利、进入就业市场，同时帮助雇主找到合适的求职者。”
目前，MSD求职者的个人资料包含更多信息，包括学历资格、工作经验、技能和个人优势等。
新的职位匹配技术会在系统内对求职者和职位进行比较，并根据个人情况推荐合适的工作，从而让求职者能够接触到全新西兰更多潜在就业机会。
截至8月10日，已有超过9.4万名领取福利且有工作义务的求职者更新了个人资料，并可以查看与自身情况相匹配的职位。
厄普斯顿表示，求职者可能会收到通知，了解到自己符合一些此前从未听说过、甚至没有考虑过的职位要求，从而获得更多就业机会。
求职者目前可以登录MyMSD查看系统推荐的职位，并更新升级后的求职者资料，同时申请超过7700个职位。目前系统共有约2600个活跃招聘岗位，一个招聘岗位可能对应多个职位。
厄普斯顿表示，这是此次改革的第一阶段，重点是改善求职者的使用体验。
她说，第二阶段将推出专门面向雇主的门户网站，让雇主能够自行创建、编辑和发布招聘信息，并获得系统匹配，同时查看和管理所有求职申请。
厄普斯顿表示，MSD方面反馈称，员工和用户对新系统的反应总体积极，求职者访问网站和使用自助服务功能的比例也较高。
她指出，这是MSD更广泛改革计划的一部分，目标是提供更好的公共服务，让用户更清楚地了解需要采取哪些行动，同时通过扩大线上自助服务，让工作人员能够将更多时间用于帮助真正需要额外支持的人。
“随着改革逐步推进，MSD还将实施更多变化，以支持建立更强大、更具韧性的家庭和社区，让更多人能够找到并持续就业，同时减少儿童成长于依赖福利家庭的情况。”
编辑注：
MSD的就业平台并未使用生成式人工智能（Generative AI）。该系统采用自动化技术辅助职位匹配，而这些工作过去通常需要由工作人员人工完成。
Getting Kiwis into work with website upgrade
The Government is connecting more job seekers with employers through an upgraded jobs website backed by job matching technology, Social Development and Employment Minister Louise Upston says.
The Ministry of Social Development’s (MSD) existing jobs website, Kimi Mahi Mai – Find a Job, has been replaced by an upgraded job search site, MyMSD Jobs.
“The Ministry’s role is to help people who can work, move into work, and make sure employers can find the right people,” Louise Upston says.
“As the economy recovers, people on JobSeeker Support and prospective employers need an MSD jobs website that is modern and fit-for-purpose. This website upgrade will better help JobSeekers move off benefit and into work, and help employers find suitable candidates for jobs.”
MSD clients looking for work have Jobseeker profiles, which now contain more information about qualifications, experience, skills and strengths. Job matching technology compares candidates and jobs across the system to connect job seekers with more potential roles across New Zealand.
As of 10 August, more than 94,000 work-obligated clients on benefit have updated their profiles and can view jobs matched to their profile.
“Job seekers may be notified they are a skills match for jobs they wouldn’t have known about or considered before – opening up new opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise have had,” Louise Upston says.
Job seekers can now see potential job matches when they’re logged into MyMSD, update their new and improved Jobseeker profiles, and apply for more than 7700 positions available through the 2600 active vacancies. (One vacancy can represent multiple positions.)
This is the first phase of changes, focused on improvements for job seekers, Louise Upston says.
“In phase two, MSD will launch a dedicated portal where employers can create, edit and list their own vacancies, have those matched, and view and manage all their applicants.
“The Ministry informs me that feedback about the new system from MSD staff and clients has been positive, and there’s been a high rate of job seekers visiting the site and using the self-service tools.
“This is one part of MSD’s wider transformation programme, which is about delivering better services that make it easier for clients to know what they need to do, and enabling people to do more online so staff can spend more time working alongside those who need extra help,” Louise Upston says.
“Over time, more changes are coming so MSD can support stronger and more resilient families and communities, more people able to find and stay in work, and fewer kids growing up in benefit-dependent homes.”
Note for Editors:
MSD’s employment platform does not make use of generative AI. The system uses automation to support the job matching process which staff would otherwise do manually.
