The Chicago Tribune will be the first U.S. newspaper to send job listings directly to mobile devices, the newspaper announced Tuesday, Editor & Publisher reported.

People looking for jobs will be able to send a specific Web ID to a number to be able to receive detailed job listings on their mobiles.

Expanding the Tribune brand onto mobile “helps us build for a strong future in a delivery method for classifieds that shows much promise,” Alison Scholly, Tribune Media Group's vice president of Interactive, said in a statement.

The service is out this week, to go along with the printed jobs listings in the newspaper's Tuesday Business section and its free daily tabloid RedEye. Earlier this year, The Tribune dropped its daily help-wanted listings and instead publishes the listings on Tuesdays and Sundays. The listings include a code to be able to access them on its Careerbuilder.com recruitment site, E&P reported.

“Readers want immediate information, but don't always have immediate access to a computer. QuickText serves job seekers by sending them listings when, where and how they want them, which we find increasingly includes mobile devices,” said Ellen Glassberg, director of recruitment advertising, E&P reported.
