On Switch, you can find your dream job and connect instantly with hiring managers.
When you apply for jobs online, it can often feel like you're just sending your résumé out into an abyss. Switch, an app billed as the "Tinder-for-jobs," tries to solve that problem.
After creating a profile on Switch, you can browse job openings from heavy-hitter companies like Facebook and eBay. If you're interested in being considered for the position, swipe right. If you're not-so-interested, swipe left. Hiring managers do the same for prospective employees. If there's a match, Swipe facilities a conversation between you and the hiring manager, rendering those awkward "just following up on the status of my job application" emails unnecessary.
