Swipe4Work lets you Tinder for a job

It is sometimes amazing to see how that works at job sites. You already have a profile, but you still have to repeat all the information if you want to apply for a job. The App of the Week Swipe4Work tries to make it all just a little easier and faster. You have to swipe like on Tinder, but the process afterwards is also more like a speed date than a repetition exercise.

Swipe jobs

Swiping jobs is not new. Look at an app like Monster (formerly known as Monsterboard): there you can also swipe a vacancy that you like to the right, but that you don’t like to the left. Swipe4Work is certainly not new in this. However, what Swipe4Work tries to do is make the process a little less bumpy and clunky afterwards. You create your own profile with all kinds of information and as soon as you swipe right you apply. No fuss.

Swipe4Work is said to use an algorithm to match profiles and search preferences. For example, when you search for a copywriter job, you will not see any crane mechanic vacancies. The app doesn’t just guess at that, you initially fill in what you are looking for. It sometimes takes a while to find a name for your job. He doesn’t know a journalist, for example, nor anything with content, but he does know a copywriter.

In addition, it is still a somewhat small app in terms of job offers, making it difficult to turn the app completely inside out. But yes: an app has to start somewhere and as more people get to know Swipe4Work, that can grow. That growth cannot only be due to the handy, quick application process. There is something else that gives Swipe4Work an edge: you can apply anonymously. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of discrimination in the world, including that of applying for a job.

If you want to prevent someone from not inviting you to an interview because your last name is Ozcan, then this is an app where you don’t have to be afraid of such problems. Of course you may wonder if you want to work for a company that you wouldn’t hire if it knew your last name, but if that’s your dream job, an app like this can help you get there.

The idea behind Swipe4Work is good and the app looks nice. You can use it for free and you can win a lot with it: after all, you might start a whole new life if you find a nice job through this app. It certainly still needs growth, but to end with a cliché: there only needs to be one vacancy that fits and it will only just pop up now… Have fun!
