With jobs currently at a premium, it pays to be ahead of the crowd when applying for positions. If you can’t easily get to a computer or you want to keep right up to date with suitable job vacancies, then a new idea from Hays, a global recruitment company, might be the solution you need.

Hays has just become the first leading UK recruiter to launch an iPhone application, allowing users to search all available jobs on the new hays.co.uk site.

With the Hays Job Search application, you can search for roles by location, keyword, salary and job type, and will be able to view job specifications and then apply online, all using your iPhone.

Plus, you only need to upload your CV once before applying for multiple roles, which will save you plenty of time and effort.

Tim Cook, Managing Director of Hays UK & Ireland, comments: “Candidates are looking for speed and ease in their online job search and the introduction of the iPhone application is one way of addressing these needs. We are already looking for ways to expand and develop the application, for example, we are currently developing an equivalent app for the Google Android platform.”

The Hays plc group employs 6,933 staff operating from 345 offices in 28 countries across 17 specialisms. It operates across the private and public sectors, dealing in permanent positions, contract roles and temporary assignments.
