Here’s one for all the companies struggling in the tough economic times when hard decisions may be necessary. RiseSmart, a provider of outplacement and recruitment process outsourcing solutions, announced that their Transition Concierge To-Go service is now optimized for the iPhone, available as a web app.

It can be accessed free of charge by eligible employees of companies who use RiseSmart’s Transition Concierge as their outplacement solution. Transition Concierge arms workers with a powerful set of job-search tools and transition service support, while making it simple to measure the ROI of outplacement programs.

At the moment, RiseSmart has several thousand employees in the system who can begin using Transition Concierge To-Go immediately. All they have to do is point Safari to m.risesmart.com and take it from there.

The app will send relevant job opportunities directly to workers’ iPhones, tag jobs they like for follow-up, send a reminder to take action on a job lead, review notifications for job-related Webinars and networking events. Additionally, employees can contact a RiseSmart Transition Specialist with feedback, review preferences, settings, favorites and more.

We’re only hoping you won’t need to use the services of RiseSmart or any other similar company…
