Uganda's Daily Monitor launches SMS jobs platform

Employers will be able to access the labour force and recruit instantly through a short message service (sms) platform Daily Monitor is providing for the first time in the region.

All the job seekers will need to do is sms by typing jobseeker credentials availability and send to 0902020197.
For a small sms cost of Sh1,000, your details will be listed in the following Wednesday’s edition. For employers you type jobprovider, the service you provide and send to 090202030 at a cost of Shs3,000.

I like the idea of this. No need to mess about submitting online forms or getting access to a computer when you’re out and about. If you’d like to advertise yourself, you just knock up a text message with your profile and send it to the Daily Monitor’s shortcode. It then appears in their listings and you’re billed. Nice.
