myFairPartner appoints mobile messaging operator for messaging functionality

London, March 16, 2010 – Temporary employment website provider myFairPartner (www.myfairpartner.com) has selected mobile messaging operator TynTec (www.tyntec.com) for mobile updates for candidates and employers. 

TynTec will be powering all outbound mobile interactions on the site, enabling functionality such as interview scheduling, alerts and reminders to enhance the site’s offering and to give users access to its functionality wherever they are.  With the mobile messaging services, the site will be able to facilitate instantaneous communication with candidates and recruiters, thus accelerating the recruitment process and increasing convenience for users.

In addition, the site will use mobile numbers as part of the user validation process, with users being required to enter a valid mobile number when they register for the site, ensuring that all candidates are who they say they are.

myFairPartner is a new type of recruitment business, offering companies and candidates fair and open temporary recruitment services.  The site enables simple interaction via the web and also through its mobile alerts, which enable users to get relevant updates wherever they are.  The site is targeting 50,000 candidates and 5,000 clients in the next year.

Recruitment accounts for 5% of UK GDP and 5% of the country’s workforce is made up of temporary workers, a total of 1.4 million employees.  Meanwhile, the increasing growth of mobile working (with over one billion people predicted to be working on the move in 2011 by IDC), means that online and mobile job services are becoming increasingly valuable to candidates and employers.

Sven Stoecker, Managing Director of myFairPartner, said: “We selected TynTec because they could offer us an unparalleled level of reliability.  When you’re sending someone information about something as important as a job interview, you need to know that the message is going to arrive and only TynTec can provide that sort of guarantee.
