JAKARTA UGM labor observer, Tadjuddin Noer Effendi said that job fair or job vacancies are short-term steps and not the best solution to overcome the high unemployment rate in Indonesia.
According to him, job fair cannot be relied on by the government to absorb labor considering that in its implementation, only small companies are invited and rarely involve large companies.
What I am very worried about is that small companies are promised incentives to the government if they want to take part in the fair job carried out. In fact, they don't need workers. That's very dangerous. Meanwhile, large companies usually never want to open vacancies in job fair. They open their own job vacancies," said Tadjuddin, Sunday, June 8.
Previously, the job fair event or job vacancy exchange held by the Bekasi Regency Manpower Office at President University, Jababeka Convention Center, some time ago was marked by chaos. Thousands of job seekers jostled, pushed each other, and some even fell and fainted.
Not long ago, a viral video suspected of being a human resources development (HRD) consultant, a company on social media.
He said, job fair is only a formality event, company imaging, and the fulfillment of the performance targets of government institutions.
According to Tadjuddin, if the statement in the video is true, then hundreds or even thousands of people are jostling to bet their lives should be pitied.
In addition, if the implementation of job fair is just a formality or hoax, the public has the right to sue the government or the company.
What is even more surprising, he said, is that in the digital era and technological advances like today the government still relies on conventional job fairs, instead of holding online or online.
"It's better online, now who doesn't have a cellphone. The implementation of this conventional job fair is finally a question mark, maybe job fair is just a trick by the local government so that there seems to be an effort to create job opportunities," he added.

He revealed, to avoid the impression of imaging and formality in the implementation of conventional job fair, the organizers must ensure the validity of the job vacancies offered in each job fair.
In addition, the government or the manpower office must store unfilled vacancies in each company to be offered to job seekers in the next event. "The government is also obliged to record job seekers who have not been accommodated to be distributed to fill job fair vacancies," concluded Tadjuddin.
