Currently we are awaiting confirmation from Apple that our Job Search iPhone app is going live (more details below) and this will pave the way to continued reach of JobServe services to other devices. The rise of smart mobile devices, with 35 Million iPhones and 65 Million Blackberry devices worldwide, shows that this is a popular channel to reach our customers – Job Seeker and Recruiter alike.

JobServe Labs has been committed to providing different ways to access JobServe, we have launched the Google Desktop Gadget and the Windows Vista Sidebar Gadget, both have proved very popular and are often being updated with new features.

Currently we are concentrating on providing Job Seekers more ways to search for jobs and with the imminent release of the first JobServe iPhone App we will bring the ease of job searching and the large number of UK, US, Canadian, Australian and global jobs to even more people. Like all developments within the Labs project the iPhone Job Search app is only the first iteration. We have already planned updates and other apps which will make up the family – JobServe Connect.

JobServe Connect – What is it?

JobServe Connect is the umbrella term for the suite of products developed by JobServe Labs to bring JobServe products and services to more users and to enable better communication between Job Seekers and Recruiters as well as JobServe and its customers. We will provide more and more channels to enable anyone to talk to JobServe and help shape the job board of tomorrow through useful features and technology. We want feedback, we provide our Twitter feed @JSLabs and we have our articles with news of what we are working on. So we encourage you to read, email, tweet about articles you like and help Spread The Word – Tweet This Article.

No iPhone? What else

We asked the same question to our Job Seekers and we have had some predictable but great results. Not too surprisingly the top non-iPhone platform requested was Blackberry. We can confirm that we are now working on porting over our Job Search iPhone app so as soon as possible we will have a Job Search Blackberry App. Remember that JobServe Labs will contain information on this and future releases.

Popular other platforms were Symbian based devices, Android and Windows Mobile. Keep an eye on JobServe Labs as these apps get released in the coming months.
