Intervention
The IOD ('Intervention sur les Offres et les Demandes' in French) is an original method to help the employment of target groups that are very far removed from the labor market to find work. For long-term job seekers and the low-skilled, a resume can be a major hurdle. A resume with holes or with a sloppy layout is quickly put to the side. In other cases, the name that appears at the top of the resume takes care of that. While none of these things have to mean that the job seeker would not be competent. With the IOD method, the CV is omitted and the focus is only on the needs of the employer. The employer no longer chooses on the basis of CVs: it is the jobseeker who chooses his job and position based on the job offers – at least three – that are offered to him or her. The roles are thus reversed, which not only avoids discrimination in recruitment, but also involves the job seeker – who is no longer called a job seeker, but “professional” – more in the process.
Target population
Job seekers with a low level of education or job seekers who have been unemployed for more than 2 years.

Important Notice and Disclaimer on INDIGO Data
INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise. Help us improve our data quality: email us at indigo@bsg.ox.ac.uk if you have data on new projects, changes or performance updates on current projects, clarifications or corrections on our data, and/or confidentiality or sensitivity notices.
