A New York City-based tech startup has reportedly developed an app which makes recruiting possible without the need of the old-school job hunt using resumes.

The Apploi app had been launched five months ago, and lets job seekers showcase their personalities and interact with prospective employers.

According to the New York Daily News, the app has already signed up 185 employers including the United Nations which is aiming to help recruit its talent globally and will soon install Apploi iPad kiosks in ten locations around NYC, including Harlem, Wall Street and at UN headquarters.

Apploi founder and CEO Adam Lewis said that the app is changing the way people are applying for the jobs.

The report said that the app, which is free to job seekers and can be accessed via mobile devices or the iPad kiosks, and is aimed at streamlining the search process while giving candidates a means to stand out from the crowd.

Once a job seeker downloads the app, it instantly shows a map showing jobs from Apploi clients available near their location, after which they can select the job they want to apply for and input their standard information, which becomes their 'passport' that gets passed along each time they apply for a job.

Applicants are then asked questions specific to the job they're applying for to which they can answer back using text, video or audio.

Employers are required to pay between 75 cents and 1 dollar per 'qualified applicant', the report added.
