Individuals searching for jobs and companies looking to hire have their share of difficulties in the process. It can be stressful, time-consuming, and tedious, though necessary.  While the Internet has provided opportunities for tools such as job boards and postings, online application and resume submission services, and more, there is much technology can still offer.  This is where a startup called Workpop comes in. It is much more than just a resume or application that can help make the process of finding a job much easier and faster while allowing employment providers access to much more detailed and applicable information about a candidate.

Workpop offers access for both employers and potential employees on any PC or mobile device with an Internet connection, but it also offers an app featuring mobile tech support allowing users to apply for jobs and review candidates on the go with any iOS or Android device.  This allows truly unlimited access at all times, from anywhere.  Each job post must include at least two photos, a verifiable business address, and a complete job description, and there is a verification process to ensure that any jobs posted meet specific community guidelines. Candidates can say everything they want to say about themselves with much less time and effort than using a traditional resume through Workpop’s platform.  They can submit not only a resume, but also include additional resources such as a cover letter, video intro, schedule availability, and photos.

Another benefit of using Workpop, and one that can be a real time-saver, is that job seekers can create a base application once and use it to apply to any job on the platform.  For those who have difficulty, there is a community aspect that can work to help. With Workpop, candidates and employers can connect with one another and improve their interviewing skills, job search, or offer general career advice. Candidates can even improve an application by submitting it for review by the Community and receiving feedback. It certainly does not hurt that, even if users do not have access to the mobile app, Workpop is accessible to users facing an immediate need for computer repair from any other desktop, laptop, or mobile device connected to the Internet.

Workpop provides unique and valuable tools and resources for feedback. It offers a proprietary response score, which shows the likelihood an employer will review and respond to a candidate’s application.  It is easy for employers to use the Search and Filter tools to find the candidates who meet their qualifications for distance, work experience, and education, or use Workpop’s Smart Rank to sort candidates by a “Best Match” algorithm.  As a candidate applies to more jobs, he or she receives additional guidance with feedback and tips based upon hiring companies’ desires and goals, and there is also a function that gauges compatibility between candidates and employers.  More than a traditional resume or job posting site, Workpop makes searching for employment and finding the right candidates easier than ever before.
