Helping job seekers connect with recruiters, the 'JobProx' interview app alerts employers when potential employees are nearby. When someone seeking a job and a recruiter are within the same area, 'JobProx' alerts both parties. With this app, employers can cut past the interview facade and meet job candidates spontaneously.
The app works by using phone location data and qualifications to determine when to alert you. If employee qualifications match job descriptions, JobProx will let both the candidate and recruiter know there is a potential match within the proximity. Both parties can meet right then or schedule a future meeting.
If you choose to meet spontaneously, you're taken to a map with both party's locations. In addition, the same screen has video call functionality so both the job seeker and employer can recognize each other.
