Dice.com has recently released data that indicate that tech jobs are still largely unavailable. Dice reported that its available technology jobs totaled 48,993 in June, which is down 43.7% year over year. And unemployment numbers have hit record highs. As there are fewer jobs available, there is increased pressure on the unemployed or those looking for jobs to be able to access listings at any time, from any device.
Personforce, a startup that powers jobs and classified sites for VentureBeat, Business Insider, paidContent, the Harvard Crimson, the Stanford Daily and TechCrunch’s CrunchBoard, is launching a mobile jobs platform that lets any job board or career site to turn its website into an iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry app.
Personforce has already launched an iPhone app, called “High Paying Jobs,” with Next Mobile Web. The app lists jobs from Dice.com, CareerBuilder. Monster and more. Basically, Personforce can takes any career website and turns it into a mobile application. Personforce’s CEO Rohin Dar says that companies may find this particularly appealing, as they can create mobile apps for their internal job databases. CareerBuilder already has a free iPhone app, and Beyond also has one as well, which searches job sites and aggregates listings.
ok and so what?
So hopefully more people will find a job they like. Or maybe the right job will find you
Yeah find me a job now personforce!
Otherwise I will continue to make excellent and informative comments here. 
Dice.com reports are not very helpful. Dice charges $495 to post a job ad, in down economy when employers are looking for ways to cut cost, spending less on job ads is one way to cut cost. Moreover a lot of employers are not looking to hire full time but they are hiring. If you’re qualified tech with experience and can’t find a job send me an email and I’ll help you find one or at the very least point you in the right direction.
$495, seriously? Wow that sounds like a rip off!
I heard on the news yesterday that a lot of people looking for work are accepting internship work for no pay on the hope that they will become a perminent part of the workforce. Sounds a bit unreal that someone with a few years experience could end up basically working for free. It’s more than a bit exploititive by employers!

we now have one more chance to get the good job
more pressure to get job listings anywhere when you’re unemployed and presumably stuck at home searching for gigs all day?
Does anybody edit tc posts for basic meaning and consistency?
Cool! Now hopefully someone will develop some jobs to use this thing for.
Interesting concept. I don’t see why they would only focus on job boards. There are tons of websites out there that would love to turn itself into an iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry app with ease.
May be the tech jobs are being taken care of my LinkedIn
