One number. 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Questions
What agencies ask us.
What does it cost?
One flat annual fee, from a few thousand dollars a year for a small town or jail to tens of thousands for a large county, with unlimited texts and no setup, per-text or per-resident charges. It's priced to fit under common purchasing thresholds, so many buyers can sign without a formal bid. Book a call and you'll have an exact price the same day.
Do residents need an app or an account?
No. Residents text your local number from any phone, including flip phones and prepaid plans. There's nothing to download and no password.
Where do the jobs come from?
Directly from employer career sites and hiring systems, checked every day. We show openings in the area you serve, so residents see work they can actually get to.
How much of our staff's time does it take?
About two hours over the first month: a kickoff call, a review of your line's name and first texts, and sign-off on your launch announcement. We build and run everything else.
Whose name is on it?
Yours. The line carries your agency's name, and we give you a launch kit with flyers, posters and social posts, so the public win is yours.
What happens to residents' data?
It's never sold or shared with advertisers. Resident and program data belongs to you, with a full export any time. We're SOC 2 certified, and anyone can text STOP to opt out.
What do we get back?
A monthly report: how many residents used the line, what they searched for, which links they opened, and the jobs they asked for that the area you serve doesn't have yet. It's the list of employers worth recruiting next.
What if it doesn't get used?
Terms are one year, and next year's price is agreed before you renew. You decide on the numbers in your own monthly report. If residents aren't using it, you don't renew.
Who it's for
Anyone responsible for getting people to work.
One line can serve a single town, a campus, a whole county, a region or a state.
Counties
Every town inside your borders, under the county's name.
See your residents' jobs before you spend a dollar.
Tell us where you serve. On a 20-minute call we'll text your area's live openings to your phone, show you a sample monthly report and give you an exact price.
