Dragnet Solutions Goes Global with E-Recruitment
Dragnet Solutions has expanded screening solutions outside the shores of Nigeria with a new test centre being commissioned in the UK and another at Houston, Texas, USA. This will give job seekers abroad the opportunity to sit for tests in Nigeria.
- (1888PressRelease) September 08, 2012 - As part of efforts to stem the surge of human capital flight, attract competent Nigerian professionals into the economy and also place a lid on the brain drain migration in the country, Dragnet Solutions Limited has expanded operations with the commissioning of a second test centre in the UK and another test centre in Houston, Texas, USA.
Dragnet Solutions is a dynamic IT firm that specializes in the design, development and implementation of people screening solutions that can be deployed in a variety of uses covering both the workplace and the educational area.
Speaking on the development, Mr. Robert Ikazoboh, Chief Executive Officer, Dragnet Solutions, said the decision of the firm to expand its test centres to the UK and the United States was informed by the need to provide job seekers and other Nigerian professionals who have had several years of challenges sitting for the test in Nigeria, the opportunity of writing their tests while still located abroad.
He said: "Many graduates have either had to cash in their return tickets and fly home for the test or simply miss out all together. Even where companies have used the "Careers Fairs" route to reach out to Nigerian graduates overseas, they have most times required them to sit for tests in Nigeria.
According to Mr. Ikazoboh, the test centres for the provision of online e-test solution portals would enable potential Nigerian citizens in Diaspora to seamlessly sit for recruitment test virtually, from any location in the world. "The system allows applicants the convenience of seating their tests either locally or overseas and the results are available to the employers on the same day irrespective of the location ensuring that overseas testing does not negatively impact the testing process in any manner."
He said: "Dragnet Solutions has designed and deployed an on-line, simultaneous multi-location tests portal, which has commenced testing in its second test centre in the United Kingdom, and the United States of America and is looking to extend its platform to other European countries, Eastern and Western Africa."
Ikazoboh, maintained that the option will save time, money and stress which foreign candidates may be subjected to in writing the tests. "A slowdown in the economies of some European countries have placed a huge limitation to the hitherto greener pastures for Nigerian graduates who are seeking better career prospects in that continent. The increasing demands by companies in Nigeria who require professionals to be recruited into their company, informs the development of this portal. Companies in the manufacturing and oil and gas sector have availed themselves of the Dragnet overseas testing platform." He added
He therefore advised job seekers to avail themselves the technology opportunities provided by the firm in realising their goals and life ambitions. "A Nigerian graduate, who would have missed out on a test invitation while on holidays in the United Kingdom, was able to sit for the test as Dragnet promptly rescheduled her test to a centre in London where she sat for the test on the same day as her Nigerian colleagues.
"This option would have been virtually impossible some 2 months ago when she travelled and she would have missed out on the test and possible recruitment, if not for this new technology", said Mr. Ikazoboh.
