Quick Feedback is a multi-channel PC and mobile-based product that allows employers to provide instant feedback to job applicants once the application has been submitted. Job seekers, who can use PC, Zhaopin's mobile app or Tencent's WeChat, will instantly be notified if the employer is interested in interviewing them and are guaranteed a decision from the employer within a seven-day period. Quick Feedback allows Zhaopin to utilize its big data analysis capabilities to improve its overall services and user experience by monitoring each step of the recruitment process. Since its launch in early February 2015, Quick Feedback has been used by over 300,000 mobile-based job seekers who are receiving over 2 million Quick Feedback instant messages daily from prospective employers. The number of daily subscribers following Zhaopin's official account on Wechat has increased over 20 times since its launch, demonstrating the traction Quick Feedback is having with mobile users.
Easy Hire is a mobile-based product that provides employers with a user-friendly platform to track applications to their job postings and offer quick feedback through WeChat anytime anywhere. Since its launch in early February 2015, Easy Hire has been used by over 10,000 HR personnel through mobile devices.
"Quick Feedback and Easy Hire are two new innovative products which we are confident will help us in further expanding our market share amongst small-and-medium sized enterprises," commented Mr. Evan Guo, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Zhaopin. "These two user-friendly products will further broaden our mobile service offerings and allow us to better meet the needs of our customers by enhancing the user experience and making the recruitment process more efficient and streamlined for both job seekers and employers. We will continue to leverage and invest in the opportunities that emerge from our mobile strategy."
