The best Android applications for job search
Table of contents:
The universe of apps also reached the field of job search a few years ago. We no longer had to go to the computer to enter a website or the mail and see if we had received news of the job we had applied for. From our smartphone we could comfortably look at new offers, different cities and send resumes with just a few taps on the screen.
Job search apps have become so popular that many have also come far from helping, it would seem that they only want to retain our data , because the supposed contractors never answer our messages and despair seizes us when we do not receive any news of any of these jobs.For this reason and discarding this type of apps, we find it necessary to make a list of the ones that seem most efficient in the arduous task of looking for work.
InfoJobs
InfoJobs is the reference portal in terms of job search in our country. Being one of the first to arrive as a smartphone app, in 2012, it has more than a million users and became the most downloaded application of 2015. Every year more than eight hundred thousand contracts are closed through this portal in Spain .
Its way of operating is very simple, with a fairly clean app that allows us to enter all kinds of personal data, from driving licenses to resumes, to then search by sector or city. Part of its success is its excellent relationship with companies, which are almost always responsive and see Infojobs as the most reliable portal for hiring employees.In 2014 it launched InfoJobs Freelance, which has a different app but respects the same interface and has the same InfoJobs database, except that it focuses on the freelance hiring market.
LinkedIn Job Search
LinkedIn is a social network for professionals that has LinkedIn Job Search, an extension of that network for job seekers. It has a large number of jobs, especially highly qualified; Direct integration with our LinkedIn profile and various basic features We can save jobs that interest us, search for them by sector or location, or activate notifications when new jobs appear in the category that interests us the most. It even keeps track of the status of our job applications.
A feature that distinguishes it from the LinkedIn mother app is that in Job Search our profile will be completely anonymous, we will not have contacts or friends who can see our interests, resume or jobs as occurs in the first of these two apps. Paying an optional fee after a free trial month, we will have access to see more details of the offers or to be able to send direct messages to the different human resources specialists of the companies that post offers.
Indeed
Indeed is another job search app that is growing in popularity. It has a user base of 100 million people, although the important thing is that it is increasingly used by companies in our country to recruit employees.Of course, we noticed that the interface has become a bit outdated However, all the functions work perfectly in the search, and although in certain sectors it still does not have a very wide offer, its growth seems evident. We can upload our resume, search for jobs in various categories and save jobs to apply after a few days.
One of its most outstanding characteristics is the punctuality with which it reminds us of available offers like the ones we are looking for or similar or new jobs that could be of interest to usIf it is not yet, Indeed seems to be positioned as one of the benchmark apps in terms of job search, also covering a greater variety of sectors.
Trovit
Trovit arrived not long ago but it is one of the fastest growing job search apps.It offers a pretty decent search with lots of filters to find the type of job we are interested in We can also add jobs to your bookmarks for future use. The application can also send us alerts when jobs appear that fit what we want. It's a great way to apply for a lot of jobs very quickly.
Like LinkedIn's JobSearch, it also has a payment profile, which allows us to view or demand more jobs, as well as details of offers and companies and direct contact with human resources to be able to introduce ourselves with more detail. Being quite easy to use thanks to its fairly clear interface, at first the amount of data it requests may seem cumbersome, which at first fails to show the offers that we look for with great success.
Jobeeper
Jobeeper has been one of the last to arrive, but especially in certain sectors, it has already carved out a niche. With a function very similar to that of other job search apps, that is, entering our curriculum, searching by sectors or location and being able to activate instant notifications about new offers or possible answers to our demands.
One of Jobeeper's assets most appreciated by users is its completely free nature, in addition to not asking us to register to use the job search serviceAlso, seeing the description and the first details of the offer without leaving the application is an important plus and one that many job search applications do not have.
Job Today
Job Today is one of the job search apps that have gained the most popularity in recent months, thanks in part to its constant presence on television.Specialized in the service sector, it is one of the most efficient when it comes to looking for temporary jobs such as in the hospitality industry, retail sales in the marketing sector- but with a not very qualified profile, mostly telemarketers-.
Its operation, simple and more thanks to its intuitive interface. We enter our data and then we search by location or by sector, although we have hardly any results in highly qualified positions or require university degrees. Once this step has been taken, configure the alerts and wait for a message from a company.
