42.0%

of people will already be using their smartphone to research a job in 2022. However, this does not mean that it is used exclusively for searches; rather, the focus is on orientation.



However, the searcher must know the exact job title in order to find what they are looking for.

74.4%

of companies feel that mobile recruiting is becoming increasingly important. However, only 46.4% of employers offer mobile recruiting. 36.9% of respondents cite a lack of basic technical understanding as the cause. And that usually starts with the job posting.

70.0%

of those surveyed have already used their laptop to search for job vacancies in 2022. However, only 14% of survey participants used their smartphone to apply.

This shows that there is potential for development, namely in terms of orientation, search and application.

CIvic innovation platform

All together for AI

Good ideas, technical skill and different perspectives, combined with the shared will to solve practical challenges in society – all this must come together for artificial intelligence to become ‘our AI’.

The funding programme ‘Civic Innovation Platform – Funding for public-interest AI projects’ supports the development and use of practical AI applications that serve the public good, thus creating concrete solutions for existing challenges in social coexistence and the world of work.

Funded...

In 2024, the current CareerCompass (formerly: ‘Interactive Career Atlas through the Career Landscape’) was one of only nine selected projects funded by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) as part of the ‘Civic Innovation Platform’.

... and supported.

We were able to win JOBLINGE gAG Leipzig as a competent cooperation partner, which supports young job seekers in finding their way into the labour market.

With accompanying evaluations, the CareerCompass platform is user-friendly and in touch with the times, if not ahead of its time when it comes to career choice and career opportunities. 

In addition, Dr Nicolas Sander from the Psychological Research and Development department at the Federal Employment Agency's Occupational Psychology Service agreed to be a point of contact for the project. As an expert, he not only provided support for the project in terms of occupational psychology and customer issues, but also remains in constructive, scientific exchange with the project team to this day.

The future is just beginning

The non-profit AI project of the ‘Civic Innovation Platform’ funded by the BMAS ends in 2024. But the CareerCompass is just beginning. And offers numerous possibilities. See for yourself. 

For job seekers

The next step is to not only create job descriptions, but also to connect and network job advertisements from local authorities, companies and job portals.



This way, you can not only see what career opportunities are available to you, but also take advantage of them directly. 

For companies

In addition to simplifying job postings, our goal is to incorporate training and continuing education, including funding opportunities.

This includes the integration of refugees, people returning to work and people with disabilities, overcoming language barriers, promoting the proportion of women in the workforce, etc. 

For investors

The possibilities for expansion are many, but the costs are manageable. All that is needed to further develop artificial intelligence and the project is a few minds coming together to jointly exploit the advantage that has now been created.
