AlgoMe mobile apps launched

We expect people to have a keener eye on their skills and career options than ever before and AlgoMe is here to help

London January 19, 2017: AlgoMe, the innovative London-based start-up using intelligent technology for career development and job placement, has today announced the release of its free mobile app for Android and iOS available through Google Play and iTunes.

“It’s an exciting time for us as we make our technology more widely available. Mobile is as important to us as the web platform. We launched the AlgoMe platform in July 2017 and wanted to extend to mobile as quickly as possible and ensure we’re ready for 2018. The mobile app helps users conveniently manage their careers by helping them connect with a mentor or a new professional role while on the move. The app has the same great functionality and features as the web platform, and users communicate with connections using the popular AlgoMail.” said Rob Carter, CEO, AlgoMe.

"There’s plenty of change afoot with regulations such as MIFID II and GDPR coming in to play. Brexit is also in the minds of our audience. We expect people to have a keener eye on their skills and career options than ever before and AlgoMe is here to help," he continued.

How AlgoMe works

AlgoMe is a career management platform used by professionals and companies.

Professional seeking access to career development, industry knowledge and connections are discretely matched with companies and mentors/mentees on the platform; allowing individuals to connect with companies directly and meet new people for mentoring or networking without having data in the public domain. As a result, personal development and career progression can now match the pace of the evolving industry.

The AlgoMe apps and web platform help professionals to:

- Get matched through intelligent algorithm to your next job opportunity and to a mentor/mentee
- Build your relevant CV highlighting your high proficiency skills that matter
- Define your aspirations and career trajectory
- Communicate directly with HR managers, project managers, and mentors/mentee

HR and line managers, as well as project leaders, can use AlgoMe to share job opportunities from their organisations and discover the right person to match their requirements. Privacy is paramount for AlgoMe and there is no public viewing platform, professionals are in charge of who sees their information and need to accept an invitation from a company or individual to share details.

The mobile app release comes hot on the heels of the The AlgoMe Career Satisfaction Benchmark Report 2017 released in November which is available free online here http://bit.ly/AlgoMeBenchmark. The report is a pulse check for the asset management, fintech and wider financial services.
