Emprego Ligado Secures Backing From 500 Startups, Initial Capital, Rising Ventures, To Crack Exploding Brazil Jobs Market

It's not news that developing countries are growing faster than the developed world. But in regions less wired and smartphoned-up, attaching business models to that growth requires some innovative thinking. Take getting a job. With most people still on smartphones and perhaps without internet access at home, old fashioned worth of mouth and even newspapers are the fall-back. Developing countries have seen the rise of models to address this. Mpawa in Africa, for instance, sends job vacancies via SMS to job seekers, for instance. Now the latest is emerging out of Brazil. Emprego Ligado is a job marketplace for blue-collar Brazilians and one of the first real time job listing services there, also using SMS extensively.
