Tired of updating LinkedIn, or spending hours manicuring your résumé? Swedish startup SelfieJobs wants to make getting a new gig as easy as swiping right on Tinder.

Slogans for the job search and recruitment app include "Swipe, chat and get2work" and "Apply with a like" (if you winced, that's OK; we did too). The site sadly lacks an explanatory video, but for reasons that currently escape us, it does feature a subtle link to a Nokia N9 commercial.

In any case, the functionality is simple: You download it, take a selfie, then fill out a short profile, which includes your name, a description and a general list of attributes that may interest a recruiter—level of education, years of experience, etc.
