Small Business Spotlight: Qwiip and riWorks
Qwiip, a Rhode Island small business that focuses on improving online communications within communities announces the launch of riWorks, a free desktop application to aid Rhode Islanders in the search for jobs.
Helping friends who found themselves suddenly unemployed sparked the idea for the riWorks App. Overwhelmed by the search process, they were not sure how or where to look for jobs, training and replacement health insurance.
"Our business and technology is about direct connectivity," said Janet Johnson Smith, Co-Founder of Qwiip. “We work with all kinds of communities helping to improve their online communications as well as highlight assets that convert to revenue they could take advantage of, especially in this economy.”
Qwiip has developed a simple and easy to use desktop application that connects people with the best resources and information to find jobs in Rhode Island. The app delivers hundreds of local job listings to your desktop. The riWorks desktop app provides an on-demand resource and one click access to a host of support services like job training, assistance and networking.
“Trying to find employment via search engines takes a lot of time, clicks and aspirin,” says Qwiip Co-Founder Hunter J. Guerin. “The riWorks App is meant to ease the pain by making it as easy as possible to find and apply for work as well as locate support.”
The riWorks App delivers hundreds of job listings plus local news, live traffic cameras from around the State, and other convenient features like direct connections to Facebook, Linkedin and statewide services.
If you’re looking for a new job or a career change then take a look at this application. “It’s the fastest, most direct connection to job listings in Rhode Island. The minute jobs are posted they’ll be on their way to your desktop. Stop the endless searching and get connected!”. Said Janet Johnson Smith, Co-Founder of Qwiip.
