Ufone and Rozee have partnered to launch a mobile version of the Rozee job portal. This allows user sto get mobile alerts (called U-Job Alerts) and if they have GPRS enabled phone, even apply right there. Users have to setup their profile (city, job category) and subscribe to the service before they start getting alerts. Job alerts will entail Job title, company information and job ID. GPRS Users also have the option to apply for a particular Job by accessing WAP link in the SMS alert.
How useful will this service be?
For some job seekers, getting the right alert on their phone can be very useful, especially in this economy. For others, this could add to the long list of apps which send out sms left and right. From the point of view of employers, it means that they will get a lot of hastily sent resumes. As Mansoor writes, sometimes sending a CV quickly is important but a well-written cover letter is even more important.
Eventually, it all depends on how good is the filtering and personalization — otherwise it will neither help the candidates nor the employers much.
