The job ads app is the mobile version of the same agency's online employment database 'Platsbanken', and it is already proving popular. It makes it possible for smarthpone holders to:    

• search for a job by keyword, work location and profession;
• save their searches and ads;
• email and share job ads;
• find the employer's address on a map;
• find all employment agencies in Sweden and their geographical location on a map 

Non-Swedish speakers will find the app useful as the text of the ads - apart from the work locations and the job titles - can be translated into Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
