The Switch app is an addictive solution for job hunting using the mobile platform, with the addictive aspect being a positive here given the persistence and tenacity required to land a job these days.
This app allows graduates and job-seekers to connect directly with hiring managers from a wide variety of multi-national companies such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Walmart, DropBox, eBay and many more.
This is an app that is targeted towards people who might already have a job but are on the lookout for that next position that would represent a quantum leap in their careers. Given that many apps are designed for people seeking entry-level positions or hourly wage part-time jobs, the Switch app has carved a niche for itself as an app targeted towards more white-collar sorts of positions.
