CareerJunction Middle East Launches Innovative Mobile Application to Mark First Year Anniversary

As part of its first year anniversary celebrations, CareerJunction Middle East today announced it has launched, for the very first time in the Middle East region, an innovative mobile application that allows CareerSeekers (registered users) to search and apply for jobs using their mobile phones.

CareerJunction Middle Eastís mobile application gives registered CareerJunction Middle East CareerSeekers the opportunity to search and apply for jobs on the go, with the additional provision of customising their cover letters and emailing jobs to themselves and their friends.

Ihab Hashwa, Regional Operations Manager of CareerJunction Middle East, said: ìWe are delighted to bring this brand new service to the Middle East. Unlike traditional internet browsing through the mobile phone, which is time-consuming and not so mobile-friendly, our new application is fully optimised for a mobile phone interface with easy navigation and quick download time. There is no difference in the application process on our website and the mobile phone, making it simple and easy to find and apply to hundreds of jobs, especially for those who do not have easy access to the internet.

ìOur aim to provide CareerSeekers access to top regional jobs anywhere and anytime has now become a reality through the mobile application service. We have always assured our CareerSeekers 100 per cent confidentiality when using our web service. Our new mobile service now ensures total discretion by offering them the flexibility to search and apply for jobs whenever suitable or continue job hunting without ever having to worry about getting spotted.î

A recent report by Arab Advisors Group found that the UAE has the highest penetration rate of mobile phone users in the region and the new service by CareerJunction Middle East is designed to optimally cater to such users.

Hashwa added: ìWe believe the new service will be an invaluable tool for our clients who are always looking for innovative ways to extend the reach of their job ads. Coupled with our state-of-the-art job competency profiling, candidate screening and online interviewing technology, the mobile service means that our clients can receive greater exposure for their job ads while receiving qualified and appropriately matching candidates.î

Within a year of its launch, CareerJunction Middle East has achieved more than 100,000 registered users from all over the world (also known as CareerSeekers) and currently lists more UAE jobs than any other local service.
