Searching for a job is just like dating, banking or procrastinating on chores until someone else does them: It’s something we all have to do. So why shouldn’t the job search be the basis for mobile apps, like those other adult obligations? Over the past couple of years, it has.
As 2015 turns
to 2016, the job search is now squarely the business of mobile technology, with
the tedium of resumes, interviews and salary negotiations streamlined to help
nervous job seekers breathe a sigh of relief.
Though it goes
down differently for everybody, the job search can generally be split into four
major categories: professional networking, job discovery, job applications and
the employer communication and interview stage. Whether targeting one or more
of these phases, mobile apps have emerged to streamline and simplify the entire
job search, allowing an increasingly smartphone-dominated society to network, search,
apply and communicate on their time and on their terms.
Simplifying The Social Web
For the better
part of a decade, building a professional network has been squarely the realm
of LinkedIn. While job fairs, meetups and industry-specific marketplaces like
Stack Overflow and Mediabistro have successfully siphoned off some of that
connectivity, LinkedIn’s presence still loomed large. Now, though, startups are
beginning to build an audience of users who are choosing a different path to
better protect their information and take control of their networks.
Caliber describes
itself as a search engine for business contacts. The app sits on top of your
social and professional networks (read: LinkedIn) and lets you search for and
chat with connections based on their professional background.
As opposed to
other networking apps that help you build, maintain and monitor a network,
Caliber empowers users to maximize them through sleek, non-invasive and direct
communication. Caliber CEO Andres Blank said the app has more than 4
million searchable profiles, including 1 million in New York City and San
Francisco. The app facilitates communication at a rate of 23 percent, meaning
one in five requests is accepted.
We are living in
a world dominated by speed and efficiency, so why should we expect our job
seekers and hiring managers to be any different?
Weave employs a
Tinder-esque interface and a matching algorithm to allow users to swipe through
potential professional contacts in their area. Founder Brian Ma said Weave
provided a more discrete, convenient approach to networking than events or
blind reach-outs, which can be a hassle even when done among friends. Ma said
that, on average, users connect with someone within three days and meet within
a week.
Reach takes things a
step further, allowing networkers to find professionals by proximity, recently
visited places or interests, in real time. Intro, an about.me service,
allows users to generate digital business cards from their about.me profiles, select what information they
want to share and share it with others.
