Grad Jobs App brings the traditional graduate job directory into the digital age. With over 250 employers recruiting graduates every year across Australia, this easy to use app provides all the important information graduates need when applying for that dream job!
3. The problem we’re solving is: A university graduate’s ability to find, manage and shortlist graduate recruitment opportunities.
4. Our solution is: A mobile, web based iPhone application (which can be adopted for other smart phone platforms) that serves as a digital directory to provide graduates access to over 250+ list (and growing) of graduate programs across Australia. The most comprehensive list of its kind.

10. We’re better because: 1)Grad jobs takes advantage of the growing mobile space and allows for greater engagement and interactivity with the user. The nature of mobile apps allows for a more intimate, clutter free user experience. 2) Integrates and takes advantage of inbuilt social media platforms designed specifically for mobile use therefore allowing clients to seamlessly transition the user from the app to a Facebook site, Youtube video or Twitter feed. Thus enhancing the value proposition for clients. 3) Grad Jobs is creating a new marketing channel for HR and Recruitment Managers.

12. What we’ll do next: The possibilities include: Expanding internationally: Applying the concept to other graduate recruitment markets such as the US, UK and Asia. This would naturally require customising the app to meet the market conditions for each new geographical location. Expanding the content: Applying the Grad Jobs concept to include vacation and summer intern opportunities, apprenticeships and traineeships for VET students and general work experience and vocation opportunities Broadening the platform to include versions for the iPad, and other smart phone technologies – e.g. Android, Blackberry etc.
