Monster India launches SMS-based job search application

New Delhi, Jan 4 (UNI) Monster Worldwide, the premier global online employment solution, has announced the launch of SMS-based job search application in India.

''The SMS-based job search is a unique and effective way to search for jobs. This application leverages our Magic Search technology that allows jobs and resumes to be searched on various parameters through a single key word text box,'' said Vikas Agarwal, Vice-President, Product and Technology, Monster India.

The application is user-friendly. One can type free text such as ''Jobs Brand Manager Delhi'' and SMS to 53030 in India. The user will instantly receive the top three job matches back on the mobile phone as an SMS.

''The key advantage of our application is that the accuracy of job matching is very high and it is driven entirely by keywords and free text, unlike other applications that require categories and location to be selected,'' Agarwal said.

This is the second mobile application launched by Monster India.

Earlier in 2007, the portal launched SMS Express, which helps employers contact jobseekers instantly on mobile, while searching resumes on monsterindia.com.

In May last year, a PC World expert panel declared monsterindia.com as the best job site in India on design, content, technology and usability.

Headquartyered in Hyderabad, Monster India is present in eleven other cities -- Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Vadodra, Jaipur, Chandigarh and Kochi.
