The City of Atlanta and TweetMyJobs are working together in a partnership that will enable employers to streamline the process of recruiting and expedite delivery of available job notices to individuals seeking employment. City of Atlanta Launches Local Job Matching Platform Powered by TweetMyJobs – This online jobs platform sends the information to job seekers via the social networks, email or mobile.

The article states:

“We’re proud to be working with a forward-thinking leader like Mayor Reed who understands that mobile is a critical element in the communication and distribution of job opportunities because there are entire segments of the population who do not own a computer but do own a mobile phone.”

It sounds like this new online jobs platform will reach more people and in so doing should help our current economy. Not only does it reach more people it is specific to the types of employment people are qualified for. In addition, the service provides analytical data that will provide insight to decision-making leaders that will aid them in potential job growth for the city. It is all good – or at least it sounds that way to me.
