Creating millions of new jobs with a realtime “stock exchange” for people and jobs

Just a few days ago SelfieJobs launched Europe's first live exchange of labour and jobs. Just like real stock exchange bids are placed and basic data is transparent and available for everyone. With this new regime both applications, basic data about the job seeker and the salary bid is “live” to create more speed and visibility in the matching process. Ultimately we believe this will create a massive amount of new jobs and internships.


Selfiejobs has been on the market for more than two years with what was originally a Tinder for jobs solution similar to the ones from Jobs2day, Snagajobs etc. We are all challenging the incumbents of Monster, Arbeitsvermittlung, Careerbuilder etc. Just a year ago we changed the path and we are now the largest private marketplace of a job for young people in Sweden. SelfieJobs has been different from the start in several ways. Where our competitors want to know as much as they can about the jobseekers we want less. We are focusing on a few words, location and photos/video.

-Competence. Measured with a few words about current and previous jobs and skillsets. In the extreme version, we catch just one word. This is the case for immigrants where we ask about “what was your occupation back home”. If the answer is “car repair” its a good enough for us to start match internships

-Location. We display jobs nearby as everyone else.

-Personality. Pictures, videos, and slideshows is part of what makes SelfieJobs fun.

Finally, we thought all this should be visible for the world once you are out hunting for a job. So we stripped away last name, birth-data, exact address, etc and made the CV open. So why is salary bids so important? Simply put: we don´t want people to waste time going for an interview without knowing the salary and other relevant information that could be known instantly. In order not to anger unions etc we will place a opt-out function in the system.

Curious how this works. Have a look at the link below or create an ad yourself. Starting at 0:- we want this live across Europe right now.

Startups; Data MVNOs coming up?

Bild
Many years ago I was among the first to capitalize on the Virtual Mobile Operators (MVNOs). It was a great business in the early 2000. Later the margins went to low and instead I introduced outsourcing for mobile operators&brands that searched for lower costs (today big biz for Ericsson). Recently it has come to my attention that there might be some business opportunities in a data driven MVNO Model. Just look at the roaming charges within EU. Still most users have to pay as much as 70 eurocent per mb. With recent increase in usage you easily end up with substantial charges. The models for discounts offered by operators are not transparent enough. One interesting concept that just received venture funding is Fogg Mobile. Their approach is to market a "one world" concept fully transparent to the user. The concepts operates on the following pilars -Roaming agreements across Europe. Initially with the operator 3 -Funding from Russia. Maybe some stakes from 3? -Entrepre...

Realtime Dual Channel Multitasking-The wet dream of entreprenurs

Recently I had a phone conversations with a small cap/startup investor here in Stockholm . Some topics were up for brief but one tapped into my head. A European IP telephony company looking for new partnerships and clients for Winmo,S60 Ip telephony and more service. Key is not to go head2head with skype and so on. A few ours later i was on fring, skype, with a entrepreneur in Stockholm that has some distribution for this type of concepts. Bang 5 minutes in we planned for a lunch all partly done on my mobile. Later just before the lunch I had the final details from the VC on homepage and strategic outlook on the ip telephony, also on fring. This feeling of efficient, cost effective real time management is in your pocket. Small organizations has an advantage an can start using realtime management now. For larger organizations it takes a change of mindset and processes. Risk are involved as well as major benefits benefits. Look for companies like Fring, Skype, Ryanair,Virgin, Avanza,f...
