A bad job interview is like a bad date. Blazer uses dating mechanics like the popular app Tinder to help youth find jobs. It allows for direct communication between candidate and employer via in app messaging. You can ask questions about the job and tell them why you think you'd be perfect for the position.

You can choose to remain anonymous until you're ready to apply.

All jobs will have a posted salary range and you will also see the average salary of a similar job in your area using open data from http://open.canada.ca/

NOTE: this app was built in one day. It's buggy and rough on the edges. It's a proof of concept to convey the idea behind it so don't expect it to "work"...yet. Help us win and who knows, it may become a real app.

Blazer uses dating mechanics like the popular app Tinder to help youth find jobs.

How does it work?

Candidates create their profile containing their skills, education, experience, and location.
Job summaries that fall within the user’s filters are displayed on flash cards for quick assessment.

The flash cards contain the job posting’s summary including the salary range. Blazer displays the average salary of a similar position in the same province using the Labour force survey estimates (LFS) to help candidates contrast the offer.

Swiping right indicates that the candidate is interested in further discussing the position with the employer. Swiping left indicates that they are not interested.

Employers swipe through interested candidates in a similar fashion. If a match is found, the candidate and employers can begin to discuss the position further where both parties can ask specific questions prior to an interview.
