The Apploi iOS app aims to help job seekers find positions that are close to them. It also surfaces the best applicants for employers. The Apploi app allows those who are looking for a job the ability to save basic information to a Passport so that they don't need to fill out personal details about their education, work details and portfolio over and over again.
The Apploi kiosk was put at a community center BronxWorks and it resembled an iPad on a musician's stand. You can also find other kiosks in retail locations like East Coast yogurt ship chain '16 handles.' Your Passport can be the application sent for multiple job opportunities.
The Apploi iOS app rates potential candidates applications on a green, yellow and red basis. It rates the candidate depending on the quality of their responses and it also allows each employer to add their own custom questions. You can also allow video responses.
