Job search on-the-go now available through iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices
Ottawa, Ontario, March 16, 2010 – CanadianJobForce.com, the premier career site for Canadian job seekers and employers, today announced the launch of its new mobile job search application across iPhone®, BlackBerry® and Android® platforms. The application, which enables users to search for jobs across more than 25 industries directly from their mobile device, is the first of its kind to be powered by a Canadian-based job site and dedicated specifically to the Canadian job market.
CanadianJobForce has been at the forefront of the latest trends in mobile content delivery by optimizing their site for mobile job searching over a year ago, and has continued to recognize the value in expanding its mobile initiatives. By launching a mobile application across three major smart phone platforms, CanadianJobForce is able to deliver content to a larger number of Canadian professionals interested in searching for jobs and accessing career resources on-the-go.
The newly released mobile application provides users with access to local jobs from top Canadian employers and is powered by Beyond.com, the world’s largest network of niche career communities. By downloading the application, professionals can search for jobs by keyword and location, review detailed job descriptions, set-up job alerts and share jobs with friends. In addition, iPhone users can browse valuable career articles for advice on topics such as job searching, resume writing and interviewing.
“More and more people are relying on their mobile device to gain access to information on-the-go, which is why it is important for CanadianJobForce to establish a strong mobile presence to ensure our users are able to engage in their job search whenever and wherever they want,” says Jason Stevens, director of operations for Beyond.com, Inc., who oversees CanadianJobForce.com. “With an increased focus on local job searching, CanadianJobForce is excited to offer an application that provides a more targeted approach to recruitment than what is currently available in the Canadian market today.”
The new CanadianJobForce application is available on iTunes®, Android Market and BlackBerry App World. Additional features and functionality will automatically be available to users to ensure they continue to benefit from the best mobile recruiting experience available in Canada.
