Laid-Off Workers Get Job Leads on the Go With New Mobile App from RiseSmart
Transition Concierge To-Go(TM) extends next-generation outplacement solution to BlackBerry, iPhone and Android-based phones.
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 15 -- RiseSmart, a leading provider of Web-enabled outplacement and job search services, today announced the launch of Transition Concierge To-Go(TM), a mobile application that delivers personalized job leads and other job-search tools to the smartphones of laid-off workers.
"Traditional outplacement providers still build their offerings around the outdated idea that laid-off employees should come to a physical office to attend seminars and be taught how to find a job," said Sanjay Sathe, founder and CEO of RiseSmart. "Transition Concierge takes the opposite approach. We go where the employees are -- and our new mobile app is a perfect example of this."
Transition Concierge To-Go is an extension of Transition Concierge 3.0, RiseSmart's next-generation outplacement offering that provides highly personalized job leads to laid-off workers each week via an online interface. The mobile app will initially be available on BlackBerry devices, followed by the iPhone and Android-based phones.
Transition Concierge To-Go sends relevant job opportunities directly to workers' smartphones, enabling them to:
-- See the latest job leads that match their skills and preferences;
-- Tag jobs they like for follow-up;
-- Send themselves a reminder to take action on a job lead;
-- Review notifications for job-related Webinars and networking events;
-- Contact a RiseSmart Transition Specialist via phone or e-mail with
feedback or to request additional information;
-- Review preferences, settings, favorites and more!
A primary distinction of Transition Concierge 3.0, compared to traditional corporate outplacement offerings, is that the solution provides highly personalized job leads to each employee on a weekly basis.
RiseSmart uses proprietary aggregation and semantic search technology to match each employee's job preferences against hundreds of thousands of active job listings across the Web. Then, a specialist assigned to the employee's account hones these results by hand -- ensuring that only pertinent leads are delivered to each employee.
