Laid-Off Workers Get Job Leads on the Go With New Mobile App from RiseSmart

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- RiseSmart, a leading provider of Web-enabled outplacement and job search services, today announced the launch of Transition Concierge To-Go™, a mobile application that delivers personalized job leads and other job-search tools to the smartphones of laid-off workers.

"Traditional outplacement providers still build their offerings around the outdated idea that laid-off employees should come to a physical office to attend seminars and be taught how to find a job," said Sanjay Sathe, founder and CEO of RiseSmart.  "Transition Concierge takes the opposite approach.  We go where the employees are -- and our new mobile app is a perfect example of this."

Transition Concierge To-Go is an extension of Transition Concierge 3.0, RiseSmart's next-generation outplacement offering that provides highly personalized job leads to laid-off workers each week via an online interface. The mobile app will initially be available on BlackBerry devices, followed by the iPhone and Android-based phones.

Transition Concierge To-Go sends relevant job opportunities directly to workers' smartphones, enabling them to:

• See the latest job leads that match their skills and preferences;
• Tag jobs they like for follow-up;
• Send themselves a reminder to take action on a job lead;
• Review notifications for job-related Webinars and networking events;
• Contact a RiseSmart Transition Specialist via phone or e-mail with feedback or to request additional information;
• Review preferences, settings, favorites and more!

A primary distinction of Transition Concierge 3.0, compared to traditional corporate outplacement offerings, is that the solution provides highly personalized job leads to each employee on a weekly basis.

RiseSmart uses proprietary aggregation and semantic search technology to match each employee's job preferences against hundreds of thousands of active job listings across the Web.  Then, a specialist assigned to the employee's account hones these results by hand -- ensuring that only pertinent leads are delivered to each employee.
