Addictive Job-Hunting Apps

The Switch App Lets You Swipe Right For a Job

— April 30, 2015 — Tech
The Switch app is an addictive solution for job hunting using the mobile platform, with the addictive aspect being a positive here given the persistence and tenacity required to land a job these days.

This app allows graduates and job-seekers to connect directly with hiring managers from a wide variety of multi-national companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Walmart, DropBox, eBay and many more.

This is an app that is targeted towards people who might already have a job but are on the lookout for that next position that would represent a quantum leap in their careers. Given that many apps are designed for people seeking entry-level positions or hourly wage part-time jobs, the Switch app has carved a niche for itself as an app targeted towards more white-collar sorts of positions.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Job Hunting - The rise of mobile apps providing job searching solutions presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation that enhances efficiency and accessibility in the job market.
2. Direct Hiring - Apps like Switch that allow job-seekers to connect directly with hiring managers disrupt traditional job application systems, enabling a more streamlined recruitment process.
3. Targeted Job Searching - As job seekers become more specialized in their career goals, apps like Switch that focus on a specific type of job searching create an opportunity for niche market disruption.
Industry Implications
1. Human Resources - The mobile job-hunting trend presents a disruptive opportunity for the HR industry to innovate their recruitment processes through mobile app development.
2. Mobile App Development - The success of job hunting apps shows an opportunity for increased investment in mobile app development in order to provide better solutions for job seekers in different industries.
3. Technology - As more job seekers turn to technology solutions for job searching, technology companies have an opportunity to develop new tools for job hunting and recruitment.
