Clickjobs has launched “Jobs on Mobile” – SMS based job alerts for job seekers. [via release] It’s an opt-in solution, wherein job seekers can choose to receive SMS alerts for relevant jobs, as well as apply for jobs by replying to the alert. Clickjobs then sends the appropriate resume and cover letter to the employers email address and resume management tool. The success of this solution will depend entirely on the job selector – if there are too many irrelevant alerts, who’d want to opt in?
This is in stark contrast with competitor Naukri’s Insta-hire, which allows recruiters to contact prospective candidates via SMS. Clickjobs is also working on a solution for the employers.
