Scientific publisher Nature Publishing Group, UK, has announced that its international jobs board, Naturejobs, is further expanding its services for jobseekers with a new mobile app that can be downloaded free of charge to iPhone and Android devices. Naturejobs.com also re-launched in May, providing a new look and improved functionality including the ability for users to upload a CV to their profile. Jobseekers have already uploaded over 10,000 CVs to the site.
The Naturejobs mobile app allows users to search and view thousands of science jobs in more than 100 countries. Job searches are simple and fast-loading and those jobs that are suitable can be emailed. It is available free to download at Apple's App Store or Google Play and is also linked to from www.nature.com/mobile/naturejobs.
The re-launched naturejobs.com enables users to apply for jobs faster by uploading their CV and cover letter to their accounts. Jobseekers can find the most relevant position for their skill set through new enhanced search filtering options and also by creating job alerts sent via email, based on their search criteria. Additional features have been regularly added to the site since May, including new Career Toolkit content, the ability to capture extra user data and job suggestions. The site is also a resource for science recruitment news, features and career advice and hosts the Naturejobs blog which features regular topical posts on science careers. The Naturejobs Twitter and Facebook feeds have also been integrated into the site.
Naturejobs.com will also add to its range of options for employers looking to target jobseekers. This currently includes free job advertising, premium job upgrades and search word targeting. Employers will be able to access the Naturejobs CV database in 2013. They will be able to search and view jobseeker CVs from a wide range of sectors, disciplines and geographic locations.
