Once you login to the Jobsplus website, you will be able to view the company publishing the vacancy and you will also be able to apply for any listed vacancy.
The user can apply directly with a matched vacancy by clicking the “Apply Now” button available at the right top corner of the Matching Report.
Jobs already applied for by the user can be found in the “My Applications” tile in the dashboard and any communication feedback from the employer is displayed in the “My Inbox” tile.
You may view and apply for any vacancies published on the Jobsplus website.
The job matching system will enable jobseekers to match with active vacancies based on their profile and will assist employers to match jobseekers with the vacancy criteria they have designed instantly – it is practically a virtual labour market.
Any jobseeker should aim to have the CV profile 100% completed in order to match properly with any available vacancies submitted by employers. Jobseekers have eight (8) different sections to fill to achieve the 100% completion status. This includes the following:
This section is for entering your personal details like name, surname, identification number, and date of birth. You also have the option to upload your CV.
There's a feature to make this information visible or hidden to prospective employers, which you can control through an On-Off toggle.
It's recommended to keep contact details visible for employer contact. By default, all information is set as hidden from employers.
This section automatically populates with your employment history registered with Jobsplus. It's based on engagement and termination forms submitted by your employers. While you cannot modify the employment details here, you do have the option to control the visibility of specific employment records to employers using an On-Off button.
Here the jobseeker is required to input all academic qualifications achieved to date. Educational qualifications’ details need to include: the institutions issuing certifications; the name of the qualification; the level/grade of qualification acquired; and the educational level (ISCED) achieved.
The user can also upload a scanned image of the certification for verification as an attachment. In instances whereby users are unable to find the name of their qualification in the provided “Subject” list, users are invited to contact Jobsplus’ advisory services by sending an email to: advisory.jobsplus@gov.mt.
Such correspondence should include a scanned copy of the qualification, together with an official statement from NCHFE or the training institution indicating the respective MQF level. In the event that no MQF level is available on the certificate, an attestation from MQRIC stating the respective MQF level is also required.
In this section, the jobseeker can indicate the occupations s/he is interested to work in and include any acquired competencies from previous employment/s. The user can input such details by clicking the “Launch the Competency Manager” button available in this section.
Selecting the desired occupation and indicating the level of experience will bring up a list of associated competencies, from which jobseekers can choose those they have acquired. The more competencies selected (up to a maximum of 100), the higher the chances of matching with relevant job opportunities. In some cases, indicating the level of competence (normal or advanced) is required, especially when competencies are subject to testing or specific level attainment.
In this section the user is required to indicate all the language/s s/he is proficient in. The user needs to determine the level of language proficiency for: reading; writing; understanding and speaking respectively.
In this section, the user should indicate all the driving licenses in one’s possession.
Users can choose the type of job they are seeking such as full time, part time, and other options. More than one type can be selected.
In this section the user can select a number of generic skills which are not usually associated with any job.

To update your CV in the CV Builder, click on ‘Desired Occupations and Acquired Competencies’. There, you'll find a green button labelled ‘Launch the Competency Manager’. This leads to a page where you can update your desired occupations on the left and acquired competencies on the right. Use the white search field at the top of both panels to find keywords. In 'Occupations', add the duration of each role.
Under Occupations you just specify the number of months associated with each occupation. Under Competencies there are two columns. The one on the left lists potential competencies. The one on the right lists your competencies. As you type a keyword – available options will make themselves clear. Clicking one of these options will place that competency on the ‘potential competencies’ column. Clicking that moves it to the right column. Press the save button to save changes.
The online job matching engine at Jobsplus is designed to help jobseekers find active vacancies that align with their profile. Once your user account is authenticated by Jobsplus, you can search for jobs through this system. The term "jobseeker" here includes anyone looking for a job, whether they're registered with Jobsplus, non-registrants, or currently employed individuals seeking new or additional employment opportunities..
Each Jobseeker has access to a customisable dashboard with displays:
The Gap Analysis is a feature of the job matching engine that compares your CV profile with the requirements of a job vacancy. When you click on the percentage match or the Gap Analysis icon, it shows a summary of how well your profile matches the vacancy's criteria. The "Read More" option provides detailed insights into the matched and mismatched requirements. On the Matching Report, the left side displays the vacancy details and requirements, while the right side shows the Gap Analysis data, indicating where your CV and the job requirements don't align.
Once the CV profile is completed, the job matching engine starts matching the user’s profile with vacancies having similar criteria. Matching is done on a score basis for each of the criteria listed in the eight sections in the CV profile.
The score is directly proportional to the extent of matching between the criteria and the vacancy requirements. The individual scores obtained from each section of the CV profile are translated into a global score or rather a percentage match.
