Are you feeling a little left behind by the inundation of smartphone technology? Fear not, dear mobile phone technophobe, as SMStheJOB will continue to offer sms universality, regardless of how many you-beaut, bells-n-whistles, reach-for-the-stars hardware options – and their associated apps – become available.

As statistics illustrate, the uptake of smartphones has been massive, but not everyone has, or wants one.

SMStheJOB has always been at the forefront of the delivery of employment opportunities to mobile phones. Long before that ubiquitous fruity company came up with the iPhone, we were pioneering the use of text messages to let job seekers know what was available. And today, with so many high-tech options around, it’s comforting to know that even if you’re still carrying around a well-loved, long-past-its-contract-expiry old Nokia that’s seen better days, you can still receive job alerts from SMStheJOB.

Recruiters also know that not every job vacancy requires that candidates be iPhone-carrying Apple fiends. Nor does every job’s criteria include the words “must own smartphone”. Indeed, despite what the purveyors of iPhone, Blackberry and various other smartphones would have us believe, there is a massive grouping of people who choose not to own anything but a standard mobile phone.

Yes yes, there are apps galore for job seekers. Yes, you can upload résumés, create CVs, link to referees and all manner of other glamorous, clever activities with a smartphone, but there’s no reason why you should be left behind – or in fact, discriminated against – if you use a standard mobile phone.

At SMStheJOB, we’re delighted that we can continue to offer a text message job alert service to all and sundry. In this way, the only advantage job seekers have in competing for their dream job is, well, to be amply qualified and suitable for the advertised position!We love a level playing field!
