Villach, 9/11/2007. A new facet has been added to the online world: the new, innovative Internet platform KELZEN. This international platform serves the purpose of anonymous ratings of employers by employees. KELZEN (www.kelzen.com) aims at supporting job seekers in their decision for a future employment. On KELZEN, you will receive access to the ratings on the conditions of employment and the work environment of a perspective company. You can also give ratings yourself and receive valuable information concerning job hunting in the job & career portal.

Nowadays, job seekers use the Internet extensively to research and retrieve information on a potential future employer. Companies provide only general information about their business. This includes profiles of the business, its products, and career opportunities. Pay, working hours, and job tasks are not the only things that potential employees want. For many employees, the work environment plays an important role in career choices.

KELZEN supports this development in the job market and provides employees with more possibilities of exchanging information and networking opportunities to obtain additional insightful information on a given company or employer. The rating system on KELZEN is designed around the idea of enabling current and past employees to share their personal and professional experiences at a company/employer with new prospective employees. The rating system on KELZEN is based on employees helping employees and uses the employee’s personal experiences in a given job. This will provide prospective employees with the added information needed to make an informed job decision. At the same time, companies will have the opportunity to view the rating for their own reference.

Benefits and registration. On KELZEN, user finds employees opinions exclusively, not facts. However, all ratings are checked for authenticity without libelous or slanderous statements. To register on KELZEN, only the submission of an email address and a password is needed. Registration provides free access to KELZEN– This includes browsing through all employer ratings and evaluations worldwide, submitting a rating of an employer, automatic notice of new ratings as well as the job & career portal. Topics surveyed include work place situation, teamwork between co-workers and management, the leadership of management and working hours. Sandra Wiesinger, founder and operator of KELZEN, says on the background and visions: “KELZEN is growing with every rating. It offers job seekers different practical experiences. So far, hundreds of ratings have been given; we expect more than 1.000 ratings by the end of this year. Our vision is that KELZEN will have a significant impact on the market due to the strength of the community of employees and their mutual exchange. In the future job seekers will benefit by using KELZEN before making a decision in favour of a company”.
