“Swipe Left” is a term commonly associated with the dating/hook-up app tinder, where users are matched together because of a mutual interest based on individuals swiping the pictures presented in front of them. But the idea of swiping might evolve from the simple dating app to the recruiting/employment realm due to the release of the new app called “Emjoyment”. This application builds upon the premise of Tinder by allowing users to see potential employment opportunities instead of dates.
The principle is that someone who is seeking employment can cruise through job postings and swipe the opportunity that garners their interest and on the flip side employers can swipe through potential candidates based on their resumes. If both the candidate and organization swipe right then they are matched together. This eliminates the painful process of candidates having to write a cover letter for each job posting and also saves the company precious time by removing strenuous recruiting processes.
This tech startup might be on to the right road by expediting the recruitment process by bringing companies and potential employees together.Only time will tell if this app will take off and become a frequented recruiting strategy but with 50% of job searches occurring via mobile technology this burgeoning recruitment app just might cement itself as the future of employment sites.
Emjoyment is currently available on Itunes and is based exclusively in San Francisco and New York City but hopes to expand to different app platforms and cities down the road.
