New iPhone App Creates Recruitment On The Go

You might call it the biggest anticipated iTunes release since The Beatles…

Today, CareerBuilder announced the release of its CareerBuilder for Employers iPhone app – available for a free download on iTunes.

Job seekers have long been using CareerBuilder’s original iPhone app to search for jobs on their mobile phones, but now there’s a place in the app world for employers, too. CareerBuilder for Employers gives employers access to job candidates anywhere, at any time directly from their mobile device. The application, called CareerBuilder for Employers, is available for download at iTunes.

“Being able to reach potential employees wherever you are provides a whole new level of speed, efficiency and convenience to recruitment,” said Brent Rasmussen, President of CareerBuilder North America, in today’s release. “Our new app is designed to help employers quickly connect with the fast-growing population of mobile job seekers and get a leg up on the competition for talent.”

App Features and Benefits
CareerBuilder’s new app enables employers to sync directly to their existing CareerBuilder accounts and provides the following features:

  • Employers can call, email, or send a letter to the applicant directly from their iPhone
  • Employers can save a candidate to a folder in their CareerBuilder account for later review
  • Employers can flip through applicants by swiping left or right on the application or use the page button at the top right
  • Employers can receive push notifications when new applications are available for review

Best of all, the app is free to everyone who wants to use it.

Great product! The interface is nice and easy to navigate. However, our applicants apply through our website (after clicking the apply button on CareerBuilder) therefore this is not an app we can take advantage of.

Who runs this place? I get a notification of a job fair in my area a week after it has taken place. Why bother to notify me? You stupid inept clowns. Why do you even have a website? If I ever did my job like you do yours I would wear a paper bag over my head when I picked up and chashed my check... You suck out loud.

Jeanene, you might want to mention this to your sales rep the next time you talk to him or her, as there are customizations that are available.
