Mobile startup targetting migrant workers!?

Leg3s

From Techcrunch’s coverage of the 3G Industry Summit in Kunshan:

LEG3s is an award-winning mobile job hunting service specifically targeted at China’s 200 million migrant workers. The service informs those people about open positions, salary levels, the current situation in the job market etc. in over 100 cities in China. LEG3s has so far attracted 3 million end users who have to pay reasonable fees and can access the service through low-end mobile phones (LEG3s is pre-installed on some of those). CEO Jason Liu expects the user base to grow to 5 million by year-end.

More info on their website, though I couldn’t find a live demo there.
