iPhone Notification App
An advanced iPhone app that delivers jobs using real-time push notification and offline caching
Madgex’s second generation iPhone app was designed to focus on the strengths of how jobseekers use mobile devices. The application was designed around two key concepts, push notification and offline caching. The aim was to create a much more engaging user experience, which prompts a jobseeker with new opportunities in real-time.
Push notification
Apple’s iPhone notification system provides the facility to create job alerts that act much like a text message or new email alert. On receiving a new job alert the phone plays a sound and displays a pop-up, which will link directly to the job detail within the app. We can also remotely update the app icon to reflect the number of new jobs that match their personalised searches.
The user can completely control their alert setting and preferences for example, only receiving alerts during set time windows. We have built a new server-based service which can push out alerts to different types of devices in real-time, so the jobseeker could have an alert on their iPhone within seconds of a new job being posted.
Email client like design
Jobseekers can mark job notifications as read or un-read, this interface design is very common with messaging systems that are constantly been updated like email or Twitter clients.
Off-line caching
This app is able to cache job details within the device, allowing jobseekers to use the app even when they have no network access. This type of feature has proved popular for people using apps whilst travelling, or where connections can be lost from time to time.
Applying for jobs
During user testing we found that the most requested feature was the ability to apply for jobs directly from within the app . The iPhone Notification App allows the user to apply for jobs directly from their mobile device using previously uploaded CVs. The process is simple and can be completed within seconds.
