Paraguay’s Ministry of Labor will use JANZZ’s web platform for improved placement of job seekers

The Ministry of Labor of the Republic of Paraguay has selected the JANZZ.technology platform ParaEmpleo.mtess.gov.py financed by the Inter-American Development Bank to improve labor intermediation in Paraguay, using state of the art matching technology based on the best occupational ontology available in the world.

JANZZ.technology was selected to improve the labor market in Paraguay.

The Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security (MTESS) of the Republic of Paraguay and JANZZ.technology, headquartered in Switzerland, signed the collaboration agreement concerning the Paraguayan labor market. Thanks to this arrangement, the Swiss company started its first project in Latin America. As a result, JANZZ.technology will install its platform called ParaEmpleo.mtess.gov.py to improve the placement of young jobseekers. Economy Master Guillermo Sosa, Minister of Labor, and Diego Rico, vice-president of customer integration and Deputy CEO of JANZZ.technology, met to finalize details of the project and review the various advantages of this innovative technology, which in addition to Paraguay serves more than 150,000 applicants and employers in 40 different languages in five countries.  The platform breaks the scheme of intermediation by keywords, incorporating taxonomies, an ontology approach and semantics, coupled with the best technologies. This allows that job seekers and employers can be matched in multiple dimensions including soft skills, training, experience, availability and geo-location.  The platform has more than 100,000 man-hours of development and brings its new version to Paraguay.

Through this new ParaEmpleo.mtess.gov.py web platform, MTESS wants to offer the most advanced technology for job matching. To date more than 25,000 applicants have registered in the PARAGUAY database. Once the service is completed, these young people will be able to access jobs according to their competences and abilities. This agreement is made within the framework of the “Program to Support Labor Insertion” (PR-L1066), financed by the Inter-American Development Bank, under a loan agreement with the Republic of Paraguay.

JANZZ.technology is the best partner for MTESS as it has years of work experience that have allowed it to accumulate extensive experience in the field of occupational data with effective solutions in Spanish and for its comprehensive and multilingual offer of standard classifications. The company is very excited about the opportunity to participate in strengthening the labor market in Paraguay and hopes to collaborate with MTESS.
