JobGet, an innovative employment platform developed with Appinventiv's expertise, represents a significant leap in the job search arena, especially for hourly workers and full-time professionals. The platform's design focuses on efficiency, accessibility, and immediacy, allowing job seekers and employers to interact, schedule meetings, and conduct video interviews in a semi-real-time environment.
This transformative approach addresses the pressing needs of a dynamic job market, where traditional methods of recruitment often fall short in meeting the demands of both employers and job seekers. By leveraging technological advancements, JobGet aims to reshape the employment landscape, making it more responsive and attuned to the modern workforce's needs.
The app's development reflects a deep understanding of the challenges in the job market and a commitment to providing a solution that bridges the gap between job seekers and employers effectively and efficiently.
The development of JobGet presented multiple challenges. Research indicated a significant gap in the job market, particularly for skilled blue-collar jobs, where the average time to fill a position ranged from 70 to 93 days. This delay was attributed to various factors, including a lack of skills-based training, the rise of automation, and unreliable hiring processes.
A critical issue was the scarcity of effective platforms catering to the needs of hourly workers. Appinventiv faced the challenge of drastically reducing the job search process from months to days. Another significant hurdle was making the job search process convenient for seekers with fluctuating work schedules. The solution needed to be innovative, addressing these unique market demands while ensuring efficiency and user-friendliness.
The project required a deep understanding of the employment landscape and the ability to create a platform that was not only technologically advanced but also intuitively aligned with the needs of both job seekers and employers.
Appinventiv's solution for JobGet involved a comprehensive approach to streamline the employment process. The project began with a Product Discovery Workshop, where the team invested time in understanding the client's vision and the features that would revolutionize the job search process.
A significant feature was transforming user profiles into resume-like formats, simplifying the recruitment process for employers. Additionally, integrating location-based functionality allowed employees to connect with nearby employers, addressing the challenge of convenience for job seekers with unpredictable schedules. The development process brought the entire recruitment cycle - from finding prospective employees/employers, communication, to conducting video-call interviews - onto a mobile platform.
AI matching technology was employed to make the job-seeking process location-specific, and GPS integration was used to connect hourly job-seekers with nearby businesses. This holistic approach aimed to make the hourly workers' employment landscape more accessible, instant, and efficient.
The impact of the JobGet app, developed in partnership with Appinventiv, was significant and multifaceted. The app successfully reduced the job search time from days to mere minutes, representing a monumental shift in the recruitment process for hourly workers.
The effectiveness of the app was recognized through prestigious awards, including the "MIT Inclusive Innovation Award" and the "Gold Award from Mass Challenge." Initially, Appinventiv's contribution helped JobGet secure a seed funding of $2.1 million. The app quickly became a leader in its category, excelling in monthly downloads, active users, and user satisfaction. This success culminated in JobGet raising $52 million in Series B funding.
The platform boasted over 2 million app downloads, with more than 50,000 active companies and over 150,000 jobseekers placed, showcasing the app's vast reach and impact. This remarkable achievement underscores Appinventiv's role in creating a solution that not only addressed the existing challenges in the job market but also set new standards in the employment landscape, making it more efficient, user-friendly, and accessible to a broader range of job seekers and employers.
