2. Mobile jobs (mjobs):

Mobile jobs (Mjobs) is an end to end recruitment application taking the power of web and SMS

technology and solving the problems faced by workers in finding new jobs and their employers locating

suitable employees.

It is a job matching application that achieves automatic matching of job seekers to new job post.

Matching and sending job alerts to qualified job seekers to their mobile through SMS is completely

handled by the application and is automatic.

The system accomplishes the matching by taking into account the professional category, level of

education, years of experience, Age, location, language, desired salary, employment type and related

information filled by the job seekers during registration.

Mjobs is dedicated both for white collar (professionals) and blue collar workers (building, masonries, technicians, mechanics, drivers, security, waiters, etc).

Throughout Ethiopia, a lack of information about job opportunities has made work available only to a

privileged, mostly to those who have access to Internet. Mjobs intends to change this through a simple,

yet powerful technology. By scaling up mjobs, we plan to contribute to the country’s economic growth

and reduce poverty and inequality.

People don’t need sophisticated systems to empower your communities, sometimes the most basic

device can be the most powerful.

It is fast, easy and affordable to all people to get equal access to the important information they need

without using sophisticated technology.

For job seekers: - Job seekers register either through an SMS application directly from their mobile or

online accessing our website-www.mjobs.net.

Once job seekers are registered, interaction with mjobs is completely handled through SMS to receive

job alerts, requesting for further information and direct application to jobs that they are interested for.

Once job seekers are registered and become our members, they will then receive free job alerts as soon

as new job vacancies are posted that exactly matches their profile.

Job seekers decide what kind of vacancies they want to receive by registering their profile. Whenever

we find vacancies that they are potentially qualified for, we will send them summarized information on

their mobile. Job seekers receive the following type of job alert information to their mobile:

• Company (comp): example {SOMTEC Trading plc}

• Position (Post): {Senior Accountant}

• Qualification(Qual): { BA Degree}

• Experience (EXP): >=3 years

messages to potential job seekers that meet job requirements as soon as vacancy is posted. Employers

don’t have to wait for them to read their job vacancies on newspaper or go to internet cafes especially if

they want to employ qualified personnel urgently.
