A Top Job Search makes top of the list

A Top Job Search (a.k.a. Hire*A*Droid) according to http://cyrket.com tops the list of most downloaded “job search” applications on Android Market

Top Job Search v. 1.3.4 is released

Yes, the name of the Android app is now “A Top Job Search”. We got hints from our users that “Hire*A*Droid* was a little bit too nerdy and cryptic (we still like it)
On the mechanics side here are the important changes:

A Top Job Search
  • Added China and Switzerland to the list of supported countries
  • “Select country” button is relocated next to the “Location” field
  • Selecting a different country resets the “Location” field
  • “Locate me” functionality will pick a country (if available)
  • Performance improvements
  • Palette was made “sticky”. It will retain its state (hide/show) between invocations

Why advertise with us?

You may not realize it but when you add your job listing using our site it will come up at the top of related search in “A Top Job Search” Android widget. To give you an example: If you placed a job with word “mobile” in the title or listing’s description, when Android phone owner searches for keyword “mobile” using the app your listing will appear as the first entry (or one of the top entries if there are multiple job listings) in the search results giving your listing a priority over “backfilled” results

We are very excited to announce new feature of our beloved job searching app: it now adds Home screen widget. This widget can be placed anywhere on the desktop of your device by doing a “long click”. Basically – make sure that you are not running any apps (including Hire*A*Droid) and then tap and hold your finger anywhere on your desktop where you have enough space. This will bring a list of choices – select “Widgets” and then select Hire*A*Droid from the list.

Once placed and properly set – widget will display the top entry from the search the widget is set up with. The search is re-run every hour however between runs it stays dormant and does not consume any battery power. Brand new entries are marked with a star icon which goes away after next refresh or when user clicks on the job description to view a list of all current results.

You can have as many widgets as your screen will accommodate

The feature is very new so if you have any problem with it please report it to us.

Two important changes in this release:

  1. Hire*A*Droid is now supporting job search in 15 countries (see list below)
