Jobcase Launches First Social Media Site Dedicated to Empowering America's Workforce

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jobcase, the only social media company dedicated to empowering America's workforce, today announced the official launch of its mobile app and website, Jobcase.com.  Jobcase provides a new social media platform that provides a combination of community, curated career-building resources, and job search and management tools – all aggregated to help people deal with the complexity, noise and churn of the modern career and job market.

A 2014 Bureau of Labor Statistics study showing 25-year-olds having already had over six jobs highlights the modern work-life where frequent job changes are the norm.  Jobcase addresses this by providing the community support and platform tools necessary to maximize one's earning power, and by rethinking things from a people-first perspective.

One of many new approaches Jobcase provides is a rethinking of the resume.  Jobcase allows members to benefit from an online work profile that allows them to put their best self forward, showcasing their abilities beyond the traditional list of prior work and education. Jobcase profiles lead with praises from customers and colleagues. Members can highlight traits and skills, such as punctuality or time management; and can also share details about what makes them stand out, such as volunteering, managing a household, or other details that highlight their passions and skills.

For the past 5 years, Jobcase has built and applied state-of-the-art big data analytics, profile management and job search technology to power job sites.  Jobcase technology already powers over 100 jobsites, serving 40 million Americans who have registered on affiliated Jobcase-powered sites since 2009. Now, Jobcase is giving control and power directly to these 40 million members –  "Jobcasers" on jobcase.com.

"It dawned on us that the way to truly serve the millions of people we were interacting with was to provide them with a community-oriented platform that focuses on empowering them in their work-life," said Frederick Goff, founder and CEO of Jobcase. "We saw an opportunity to not only connect people and help build a community unlike any other, but to put our expertise in data analytics to work to create a single, easy-to-use site for managing and tracking all things job-related."

Uniquely, Jobcase is free for all employers to post jobs and contact job seekers, eliminating unnecessary friction in the hiring process.

"We are building the go-to site for America's workforce, and we need to think differently," said Goff.  "This is just the beginning."

Key features of Jobcase include:

• Mobile-first user experience
• Real-time conversations, messages and help from 40 million Jobcasers
• Easy apply-on-the-go functionality
• Praises where customers and colleagues can brag about you
• Local employer information and reviews
