This market only opens at night and there are no lights to guide the thousands trying to find what they need. It has many hundreds of separate halls, each selling only a few things – some only sell root vegetables, others just stone fruit. And maybe 10 have apples.Now, you’re trying to find small green cooking apples. One hall, somewhere, has these.
Each of the hundreds of halls is completely separate from all the others and when you go to one, the wholesalers only tell you about what they have to sell. The people stumbling around in the dark have no idea what they’ll find in each sealed hall until they open the door and walk inside – what a waste of time.
Who owns these ‘halls’ in perhaps the most important market place in any country, the jobs market? Three types exist:
1. Recruitment agencies, there are thousands and each has a few jobs and a few candidates for sale – usually not exclusive to just their agency. 2. The many different newspapers with job ads in particular industries or sectors. 3. Finally, lots of job boards and many community sites that host jobs.
