Assured Labor, The Mobile Job-Finding Network, Breaks Into Brazil

Assured Labor, a mobile-centric job networking startup that was founded at MIT four years ago, is breaking into another Latin American market. The company is launching in Brazil with a localized service called TrabalhoJá. This adds to its reach in Mexico and Nicaragua. "Most of the job sites in Brazil charge job seekers, sometimes up to $50," said Assured Labor's CEO David Reich. "We're totally free and job hunters don't have to be extorted." Assured Labor is a feature phone-based service that helps job seekers land work. The company targets workers that might only have cell phones and lack personal computers or a broadband connection. You can kind of think of it like a LinkedIn for the developing world.
