Canada has embraced mobile phone technology with over 21 million active mobile phone users across Canada. The sophistication of mobile phone devices has lead to their collective upgrade from use-in-emergency-only to being a part of our everyday lives.

In line with the demands of today's job seekers for technology that makes job hunting easier, JobServe Canada today announced the latest release of JobServe Mobile.

Purposefully designed for the mobile user, JobServe Mobile eliminates the need to trawl clunky web pages, and gives the ability to apply for a job directly from the phone. The ability to search and apply from the bus stop, on the train, or in a coffee shop means job seekers can keep on top of their job search even when they are away from their computer.

JobServe was the first job board to launch a search-and-apply mobile service and, with this release, it's made searching and applying for jobs from any mobile device even easier.

Commenting on the new release, James Wren, JobServe's General Manager Search Products & User Experience said, "You will be able to apply for jobs in as little as two clicks whether you have a Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia or any other Internet-enabled phone.

"Searching for jobs on the mobile site is quick and easy, and you do not have to be a registered JobServe user to do so.

"Existing JobServe users may apply for jobs using the resume stored against their account. New users can sign up simply by providing their email address and password, and then emailing their resume to JobServe where it will be automatically uploaded against their account.

"The application form is pre-filled for existing users, further expediting the application process. Candidates just review/complete the questions accordingly, and then hit ‘apply'. It's as easy as that!" said Wren.

This mobile service fully compliments the application system provided by JobServe on the website. "I am sure this will be a popular feature" said Wren, "It will allow job seekers to both search and apply for their next job wherever they are."
