JobMatch: Connecting Job-Seekers and Employers

JobMatch Success Stories

In the developing world, it’s hard to find good information about jobs. Classified ads and government resources are scarce. So are online job sites – and they’re also out of reach for most job-seekers, who don’t have good web access. Family connections can help in some cases, but most people surveyed in SoukTel market research said that social networks couldn’t get them long term work.

That’s where JobMatch steps in: Through a simple, easy-to-use SMS format, the service connects thousands of job-seekers with employers who are looking for staff. By giving users real-time information on their mobiles, JobMatch levels the playing field of access to jobs and employees, helping break cycles of poverty and unemployment.

What We Provide

SoukTel currently runs JobMatch services in Palestine, and helps partners run their own JobMatch services in Morocco and East Africa. If your organization would like to start a JobMatch service, we can:

Create a custom JobMatch system for you: Choose your language, layout, and features. Integrate the system with your own website or database. Create multiple user accounts.
Connect your system to national mobile networks. Set up shortcodes (short phone numbers like “5050”) that let users access your system by SMS. Manage SMS message purchase.
Train your staff (remotely or in-country) on managing the JobMatch system and outreaching to employers/job-seekers. We provide user manuals in English, French, and Arabic.
Host your system on dedicated servers in the US. Or we’ll install software on your own servers.
Provide technical support in English, French, or Arabic 7 days a week.

What You’ll Need
One staff member at your organization who can learn how the system works and then create alerts/surveys on an ongoing basis.
Internet connection in your main office, so your staff can manage  the system online. However, you don’t need to buy any new computers or  mobiles!
Budget to buy bulk SMS messages if you’d like to send information alerts to community members.
