I run a small spa and a fitness centre in downtown Dubai. How will Spa Junction benefit spas, salons and fitness and wellness centres?
In many ways.
We help you discover and recruit the right talent. A spa (or a salon or a fitness centre) is only as good as the talent it employs. You are always on the lookout for professional talents and, for this, you usually depend on recruitment agencies and online job sites that are either too expensive or ineffective. Here at Spa Junction, we break down the conventional silos and facilitate talent discovery. Through open networking among spas and professionals, this site allows you to make better recruitment decisions.
Spa Junction also provides spas with an remarkable marketing platform to attract potential customers. Spas will now be able to build their profiles on Spa Junction. A list of all your services, amenities, awards and contact information will be visible to all site visitors, including spa goers, spa professionals and spa product and equipment suppliers.
I am a small spa based in Doha, Qatar. Is Spa Junction free for use?
Spa Junction charges its corporate members a nominal fee of $500 per year for connecting with 250 members. Spas and other corporate members will need to upgrade to a premium package where they can make unlimited connections for just $1000 a year. You will realize that this is a very small percentage of the amount that you normally spend on recruiters and other job sites.
I own a spa in Addis Ababa. I occasionally find it difficult to source the right products. Even if I do, I face issues when it comes to payment. Can I purchase products and equipment online through Spa Junction?
Oh yes, this is what we are aiming to provide before 2015 ends. Spa Junction’s mission is to be the most comprehensive marketplace for the spa, beauty and wellness industry. And what marketplace is complete without e-commerce, right? But, in order to provide its users with a unique e-commerce experience, Spa Junction will facilitate buying and selling of products and services through its e-commerce partner, shikaar.com. Keep in touch with our developments in our e-commerce foray.
We own a chain of spas and salons in the US. You say that you are a one-stop marketplace and learning is an important component in any industry. How can Spa Junction help us improve the skills of our employees?
We fully agree. Online learning is a feature that is in our immediate agenda and will be introduced before the end of 2017. Here is how we have planned this. Spa Junction’s Junction Box provides spa trainers with a tool to create short online learning modules called Lurnies. We understand that professionals have very little time for themselves to dedicate towards continuing learning. Thus, lurnies (or mini learning modules) will help professionals to acquire a set of skills within a short time. Once an individual member completes a Lurny, the resultant skill acquisition is instantly updated in their profile and also their downloadable resume.
Are these short learning modules (or lurnies) free to access? I own a chain of spas in India and have very limited budgets for online learning as most of our training is done on the job and in a classroom format.
While most lurnies are free to access, there are premium lurnies that will be hosted by leading educational and professional institutions that members will have to pay to access. Fees, wherever payable, are very reasonable and your Return on Investment (ROI) will be extremely high compared to classroom training models. Nevertheless, you will find that more than 75% of the lurnies come free of charges.

Where can I see who's available and qualified to do my job requirements?
To identify the right talents for your job requirements you can use the Advanced Search Talents option available to you in your Employer Zone: You can search for talents with the right skill sets using various search parameters. You can then invite them to your jobs that you have posted. You will also be notified regularly about all new talents joining the network and who have the right skill sets you have been looking for.
