The labour market today is extremely bureaucratic. Candidate selection, testing, and multi-stage interviews can take months, while a position remains open. The problem is so ingrained in our heads that a quick hire is considered a bad idea for both the company and the employee. However, the innovative service JobToday is ready to break this stereotype. It allows you to post a job advertisement in minutes and get a quick response to it. Let us tell you how it works.

Work Communications in Messenger Format

Created in 2015, the startup offered more than just another job search service. It added live communication to the bureaucratic hiring process. The JobToday app is more like a social network. Companies maintain their profiles there, telling their brand stories, posting interesting news, and publishing posts about team life. Candidates, in turn, create profiles instead of resumes, allowing everyone to see their education, qualifications, and achievements.

Sceptics might point out that a social network for professionals, LinkedIn, already exists. So why duplicate a successful project? JobToday offers more — it allows entrepreneurs and HR professionals to communicate with candidates. Establishing contact is easy — just choose the right profile and open a chat window. If you want, you can communicate via video chat to get even more information.

JobToday's developers advise users on both sides not to get bogged down in traditional bureaucracy but to control the process themselves. By creating a job offer on the company page, the employer can automatically select all candidates in their city, region, or country, who meet the requirements. The app, in turn, shows job seekers all job offers that match their qualifications and professional experience. It is truly a one-click job search.

Why Is JobToday the Future of the UK Job Market?

Statistics show that in 2021, the number of job openings in the UK has increased by 65.5% compared to 2020. Experts estimate that these numbers will continue to rise in 2022 and 2023. The greatest labour shortages are in the manufacturing, catering, hospitality, retail, and social work industries.

It is worth noting that these industries have minimal requirements for applicants and willingly accept young professionals without work experience. They are, therefore, most heavily influenced by the bureaucratic nature of the recruitment process. Long candidate selection and complex interviews simply don't make sense — they remain more a tribute to tradition than a real necessity.

So, JobToday could indeed be the future of the UK labour market. It's ready to tackle not just local issues but global ones as well. By making it easier for employers to connect with candidates, the service makes the labour market more flexible, minimises losses from unfilled vacancies, and reduces the waiting period between dismissal and recruitment for potential employees.
