SelfieJobs is a Stockholm-based startup in recruitment. Our goal is to build Europe's most loved recruitment app, for young people.

With SelfieJobs you can feel smart, fast and great when applying for a job or posting classifieds.

SelfieJobs believe we can reduce the barriers between employers and employees considerably. It should be easy to establish a first contact. Previously it has been "fine" to make it difficult to apply for jobs as part of the selection process. We believe must be a better way to do this than to force young job seekers to rewrite their resume again and again.

With SelfieJobs create a resume or job posting in 2 minutes and you can search all jobs in the app with a "like" or share it on Facebook mail, SMS, etc. As an employer, you can set a search radius so that only candidates also appears others simplifications.
