The Swedish employment agency Arbetsförmedlingen launched a free-of-charge app enabling smartphone holders to look for a job via their phones.
The job ads app is the mobile version of the same agency's online employment database 'Platsbanken', and it is already proving popular. It makes it possible for smarthpone holders to:
- search for a job by keyword, work location and profession;
- save their searches and ads;
- email and share job ads;
- find the employer's address on a map;
- find all employment agencies in Sweden and their geographical location on a map
Non-Swedish speakers will find the app useful as the text of the ads - apart from the work locations and the job titles - can be translated into Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
Background information:
Arbetsförmedlingen is a public authority and the largest provider of jobs is Sweden. Its services are free.
