Every open job near home. A Job Line is a local text number with your name on it. Residents ask for work the way they'd ask a neighbor, and get real openings they can apply to tonight. 1. Step 1### A resident texts your number From any phone, in their own words. No app, no account. 2. Step 2### They get every job that fits Live openings near home, with pay, distance and a link to apply, in seconds. 3. Step 3### You see what residents need A monthly report: who used it, what they asked for, and which jobs your area is missing. Why a text line ## Your residents don't browse job boards. They answer texts. The people who most need work are the least likely to have a laptop, home internet or patience for a portal. Almost all of them have a phone. - ### Works on any phone Smartphones, flip phones and prepaid plans, in English or Spanish. Nothing to install, no account, no password. - ### Only jobs near home Not a national job board. Residents see openings inside the area you serve, by town, distance or bus line. - ### Live, not last month's Openings come straight from employer career sites and are checked every day. Filled jobs drop off. What residents see ## Real openings, in seconds, any time they ask. One number to save. Here's what a resident gets when they ask for work, when a new job posts, and when they land an interview. 1. ### Ask in their own words No forms and no filters. Residents text the way they talk, like “no nights” or “I don't have a car,” and get openings near home with pay, distance and a link to apply. 2. ### New jobs, the day they post Openings come straight from employer career sites and are checked every day, so nobody chases a job that filled last month. 3. ### Help all the way to hired When an interview is booked, residents can practice by text with questions for that job, or send a photo of a résumé for help. Your name on it ## The line is yours. So is the win. Residents text your line, not ours. We hand you everything you need to announce it.
