Job Search / A new free iPhone app called TheLadders

Finding a job is not easy but a range of smartphone and web apps are designed to customise employment searches and even provide information on the competition. Capture d’écran 2013-08-01 à 08.50.45

Free apps such as SimplyHired, Indeed, and Monster, for iPhone and Android devices, provide job opportunities through a keyword search, and web-based apps, including TwitJobSearch and TweetMyJobs, will scour Twitter for opportunities and send job alerts through the social network.

A new free iPhone app called TheLadders takes a different approach and sends a list of job opportunities to users based on their employment profile and career goals.

“One of the big frustrations for job hunters is that they go online to apply for a job and they don’t hear back. It’s a black hole,” said Alex Douzet, chief executive and co-founder of TheLadders, headquartered in New York.

TheLadders uses algorithms to pick out the 50 best jobs for a user based on location, current title, preferences, seniority, areas of expertise, industry and salary goals.

“By doing this what we’re creating is a new job discovery mechanism that … actually matches you to opportunities that are relevant to your profile,” he explained.
