xpandedMedia releases global SMS services to support job board software

Monday 8th February 2010

By Mike Jones

xpandedMedia has released its global SMS services to support its job board software. The SMS service allows site owners to purchase SMS credits in bulk, and resell credits to job seekers and employers.

The firm said that this added revenue stream would be a value added service for site owners seeking for ways to "monetise their online recruitment site".

The SMS application uses a third party API account managed by xpandedmedia.com, which provides real time SMS alerts globally based on a number of factors.

1 Administrator alerts are triggered by key events such as company registrations, ecommerce transactions and bulk SMS broadcasts. These alerts can be turned on and off at will and are only delivered when sufficient SMS credit exists under the account profile. Administrators can also allocate SMS credits to job seekers, companies and agencies and also view SMS transaction logs and message history and customise the data of automated SMS messages to display specific content.

2 Job seekers can subscribe to premium SMS alerts via subscription. The premium SMS alerts are built into the automated job alerts module and can be customized by industry, location and frequency. To subscribe to premium SMS alert services job seekers must first obtain credits. The SMS credit management tools are integrated into the checkout cart for job seekers and transaction updates and allocate SMS credit to the job seeker's account.

3 Employers can subscribe to premium SMS alerts to compliment their recruitment services. Alerts can be received for new job application notifications and premium resume alert subscriptions to notify employers in real time of a specialised candidate that has registered on the site and matches the employer's alert profile settings and frequency.

End of beginning as downturn slows slightly
The seasonally-adjusted CIPS/Markit Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rose to 42.9 in April from 39.1 the previous month, but was lower than last year’s figure of 49.7. Despite remaining below the neutral 50.0 mark (a figure less than 50 indicates a contraction) for the 13th month running, the PMI moved further from February’s joint survey record low.
