In order to know how the industry works, and how is the interaction between competitors, users, focus groups. Itās important that to get a research done of how is our competitors behavior towards those aspects that are part of a daily operation in every industry. To know how our competitor do that, we have selected four companies that are directly competition to our company, those companies are: Computrabajo.com.co; Zonajobs.com.co; trabajoxhoras.com; Elempleo.com.
Computrabajo.com.co
Itās a company founded in 1999. In Edinburg, Scotland. Whit presence in nineteen countries only in Latin America. The weakness they have is that they do not specialize in jobs offers to all the hierarchical level at a company basis, by having only offer in administration, and specific positions at a company. Computrabajo.com.co is looking forward to enter new markets, with the purpose of expand the company, and become the #1 visited internet company to find jobs. This can be done by offering the best jobs opportunities to the public, and by guarantee companies using the web page to acquire new employees, that those interns are well qualified.
As a employment exchange, this company has some vulnerability to economic, and social trends due to the fact that if the economy of any country falls down, companies will began to dismiss people out of their jobs, meaning that companies will not have the same power to hire employees and the number of unemployed will increase causing a high demand but a lack of supply.
The service we provide is more specific than the one bring by computrabajo.com, because they offer professional job opportunities, whereas we offer college jobs opportunities with flexibility in aspects as schedule, and time spend at company facilities.

Zonajob.com.co
Itās a company founded in 2006, with presence in seven countries, including Colombia; Spain; Argentina; Brazil; Chile; Mexico; Venezuela. Its major straight is the amount of companies they have sign in to pull new employees. But their most evident weaknesses is the low international presence, because compare with computrabajo.com, the difference is evident. They have a number of strategies and objectives to fulfill, in order to growth como objective is to become the better option to people and companies to find their dream job and to fulfill its job necessity.
Zonajob.com have a strong organization, but they are trying to innovated the traditional job recruitment companies normally do, they are trying to implement new and renovated job interview modes. Thatās why in the event of a technological drop, they will not be able to implement those revolutionary methods, because there will be no enough tools to do it.
In the industry of employment exchange is important to always be at the forefront. Because a single little change in a competitor way to approach costumers could change the industry, why? Because is an industry that is evolving continuous as some technological aspects are. And by being companies doing it by internet, it is changing and changing every day and every time more.

Trabajoxhoras.com
This company is the most similar to our business idea. Because it is focus on people that doesnāt has the full time for a fulltime job, is for people that need to work in hours or with schedule that normally in the industry you donāt see much. But the lack of knowledge of those types of companies can affect them, because people will not demand jobs or companies will not look or require employees in those types of internet employment exchange.
As these company is a company that has been in the market for a while, it is an advantage for them, because they have knowledge about how the industry behave and how the different external foces affect the company, depending on many factors. That way our company could be a little behindhand of the competitor, due to the experience those companies have.
The nature of supplier in a industry like this one, is very similar to all the potential competitor the industry have, it all have as an input the annexation of customers that can be companies or people searching for job opportunities. Those customers are looking for something different, but in summary they are looking for the opportunities of finding that something that can give to the both parties a mutual benefit.
