GFT’s iPhone app for freelance IT experts
Small, flexible applications – or “apps” – have opened up all kinds of new horizons – and not just in IT. The possibilities that mobile device apps present will lead to a gradual sea change in the entire way we communicate.
The huge number of apps offered in Apple’s App Store shows that this is not just a short-lived trend or fad. By May 2009, the store contained 38,000 apps. Today, just over a year later, over 200,000 of these “little helpers” are available for download, with more being released every day.
In this short time, GFT has tapped into the app trend and used it to create new IT solutions. As well as a range of apps for customers, GFT has now launched its own free app. First presented at this year’s CeBIT expo, the app allows IT freelancers to view new jobs while out and about, and check their contractual and billing data. This innovative service offers exactly the speed and flexibility that professional IT freelancers need.
More than almost any other profession, freelance IT specialists are constantly on the move and working for different clients. So as well as offering expertise, they are expected to provide maximum flexibility and mobility. The new GFT app frees up freelancers to concentrate on the project they are working on.
GFT iJobs empowers customers to find exactly the right experts for their projects faster than ever before – whether they are looking for individual specialists or pulling together entire teams. For all-round solutions which stand the test of time, GFT marries the expertise of IT freelancers with the wide-ranging experience and in-depth knowledge of salaried specialists. So our customers benefit from skills that complement each other perfectly and can be used as the situation demands – quickly, reliably and with quality assured. In this way, GFT acts not just as an international IT service provider, but as a skills manager. This offers customers considerable value-added.
GFT iJobs – an overview
The new app allows freelance IT experts to view open project tenders and search for them by country/location or by the type of expertise in demand. Matching jobs are sent quickly by email and can be read immediately on the iPhone. Registered partners can now also call up the status of their current contractual and billing data.
