Job Matching

Job Matching

Our award-winning mobile employment platform

In the developing world, it’s hard to find good information about jobs: Classified ads and government resources are scarce. Job centers are few in number–or they don’t exist at all. Family and social connections are limited.

That’s where JobMatch steps in: Through simple text, audio, and web interfaces, the platform connects thousands of job-seekers with employers who are looking for staff. Easily customized for your specific project, JobMatch integrates directly into your program activities–boosting scale and quality at low cost.

What we provide

SoukTel helps clients run JobMatch services across the developing world. If your organization would like to launch a JobMatch service, we can:

Create a custom JobMatch platform for you: Choose your language, layout, and features. Integrate the platform with your own website or database. Create multiple ‘platform manager’ accounts.
Connect your platform to national mobile networks. Set up shortcodes (short phone numbers like “5050”) that let users access your platform by SMS, USSD or audio. Manage all text/audio credit purchase.
Train your staff (remotely or in-country) on managing the JobMatch platform. Create JobMatch user manuals for your team.
Design an outreach strategy for promoting your JobMatch platform to employers and job seekers.
Host your platform 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

To make your Souktel-built mobile service a success, all you’ll need is the following:

One part-time staff member to manage the platform. No IT knowledge needed!
Internet connection in your main office, so your staff can manage the platform online. No need to buy new computers or mobiles–the platform works on any laptop or handset.
