Say the word, and My Career Fit lets you apply to jobs through Alexa and Google Assistant

"Alexa, find me a job." It's not the way of the present, but using a voice assistant to find work might be the way of the future.

The potential for voice as a recruitment tool inspired veteran job recruiter Gordon Collier to develop My Career Fit, a voice app for connecting employers and people looking for a job.

“I’ve been in the recruiting industry for 20-plus years, currently as CEO of Pipeline Search Solutions, and the biggest challenge in recruitment is the fight for attention from job seekers and folks not necessarily looking for a new job,” Collier said in an interview with Voicebot. “My Career Fit is another channel for finding a job using a voice assistant. We provide job-seekers the opportunity to hear directly from employers.”

My Career Fit operates much like a job board online, only tailored for voice assistants. Once the app is enabled on Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, users can ask about jobs available based on location, relevant skills, or the name of the company. The app will then pull an audio file of the hiring manager or a different senior employee from the company to describe the job in a maximum of 77 seconds. In addition to the audio for the specific job posting, the app can also provide the user with general information about the company and will play a separate clip about the company’s overall culture and mission if asked.
