Employment Matchmaking

Milennials turn to apps to streamline the job hunting process

Implications - The employment landscape is changing drastically as technology continues to evolve. Younger job seekers have been turning to mobile apps to connect or "match" them with opportunities and employers, much like a dating app would match them with potential mates. The app interface not only streamlines the job hunting process, it also evens the playing field by emphasizing the mutually beneficial nature of the employer-employee relationship.
Workshop Question - How can you make your product or service more immediately accessible?
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Employment Matching - Mobile apps are changing the employment landscape by streamlining the job hunting process and emphasizing the mutually beneficial nature of the employer-employee relationship.
2. Gamified Recruitment - Gamified recruitment apps provide a streamlined platform to hire individuals for respective positions by setting a challenge in a more tech-savvy scenario.
3. AI Job Matching - Job matching platforms powered by artificial intelligence, like TalentWorks, automate the job search by finding, researching, and applying to positions based on the individual's qualifications and interests.
Industry Implications
1. Human Resources (HR) - Streamlining the job hunting process with mobile apps, resume-free job apps, and gamified recruitment can transform the HR industry. Employers could benefit from hiring the right-fit talent that our current market has to offer.
2. Information Technology (IT) - Incorporating AI technology and machine learning into job-matching services could lead to the creation of smarter and more efficient job-matching platforms.
3. Retail - Crowd-sourced job apps, like Job Spotter, can be helpful for stores that advertise their Help Wanted postings only outside their storefronts. Local job-finding apps provide a helpful resource to increase the chances of job seekers landing their employment.
