five81 has announced the launch of WorkAround.me, a real-time location-based recruitment app, for casual jobs. WorkAround.me helps local candidates and employers (from individuals to small business to charities) get in touch with each other.
"With the current state of the economy we wondered if small businesses and individuals might prefer to employ local people on a more flexible basis as and when they need someone rather than engaging people on a fixed term contract. With this in mind we created WorkAround.me."said Devang Chouhan, five81's founder.
WorkAround.me's unique self-service software allows you to register as a candidate or as an employer. Candidates can create profiles, browse local vacancies, get in touch with employers and receive notifications on new vacancies. Employers can advertise and manage vacancies, view relevant local candidates and get in touch with them - in just minutes.
The app has a very simple and clean interface and all the settings are customizable, including notifications, search radius and search status.
Useful for small business, freelancers and students , WorkAround.me is available as a free app for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. The team is quite excited with WorkAround.me version 1.0 and hope users will find it useful.
Pricing and Availability: WorkAround 3.6 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
Cool idea, but as of right now it has to be rated 0 stars. I am in central NJ and searched 100 mile radius for jobs and it has NO results. That means they have no jobs in basically a good part of the tri-state area including NYC.
Good idea though, hopefully it will grow in the future.
