CareerBuilder UK Rolls Out Free Jobs App for iOS Devices with Geolocation

CareerBuilder UK rolled out launching a free “Jobs” application for iOS devices, enabling those who were looking for a job to apply directly from the app’s UI, the company said in a report today. The software leveraged the iPhone’s geolocation technology to achieve this, CareerBuilder added.

“Using the iPhone's built-in geolocation technology, the CareerBuilder application ‘Jobs by CB’ automatically determines the location of the job seeker and then allows them to find a job using a simple keyword search,” CareerBuilder UK confirms in a report issued earlier today. “iPhone users can even apply for positions directly through the CareerBuilder application,” CareerBuilder, one of the UK’s most visited online job sites, says.

With the CareerBuilder new iPhone app, job seekers have the ability to create a user account right from the application, upload or create a resume on the spot, search jobs by keyword, location or company, see search results showing up directly on a map relative to their current location, e-mail or mark jobs as “favorites” for easy reference, and even apply directly to jobs from the iPhone application. Additional benefits include the ability to browse recommended jobs and see application history, and to search for jobs by company name, search radius and employment type .

“CareerBuilder UK is in the business of connecting the right employers with the right job candidates as quickly as possible,” Tony Roy, managing director of CareerBuilder UK, says. “Our new app brings a new level of convenience to iPhone and iPod touch users by furnishing the ability to search for jobs on the go anywhere, anytime.”

CareerBuilder.co.uk powers the career centers for hundreds of UK sites that reach national, local, industry and niche audiences, and is owned by Gannett Co., Inc, Tribune Company, The McClatchy Company, and Microsoft Corp.

The CareerBuilder Jobs app requires a device running iPhone OS / iOS 2.0 or later, according to the list of requirements posted by the developer. It supports multiple languages, including English, Dutch, French, German and Swedish.
