Why Solo, Why Now?

I’ve always loved how Solo hums with creativity—batik ateliers, buzzing cafés, and hotels that never seem to sleep. That’s exactly why we’re expanding JobStreet Express here. On January 23–25, 2024, we joined the Job Fair Career Expo 2024 at Solo Grand Mall, a free event that pulled in a thousand eager job seekers from across Solo Raya (Solo, Karanganyar, Sragen, Wonogiri, Sukoharjo, Klaten, and Boyolali). Our mission? Make finding work feel simple, fast, and a little more human.

Teaming Up to Open Doors

Partnership is in our DNA. We’re collaborating with employers, brands, and local government—including the City of Solo and the Department of Manpower—to connect people with roles that fit their talents. As our Head of JobStreet Express, Woon Hann Khoo, put it: we’re doubling down on growth while helping job seekers discover opportunities aligned with their interests, especially as Solo’s tourism, creative, culinary, and hospitality scenes keep rising.

The Local Picture

Let’s be real: competition is real, too. According to official provincial labor stats (August 2023), Solo’s open unemployment rate stood at 4.58%, with a workforce of over 291,000 people. Our presence at the job fair is one way we support the city’s push to bring that number down—by making high-quality, semi-skilled roles easier to find and apply for online.

What Went Down at the Job Fair

Three lively days, hundreds of conversations, and one clear takeaway: people want speed and clarity. We showcased how candidates can search and apply in minutes and how employers can post roles without the usual friction. We were in good company, too—brands like Mie Gacoan (PT Pesta Pora Abadi), Rosalia Express, Smartfren, Teleperformance, Superindo, Alfamidi, BFI Finance, Yupi, Panorama Group, AMAZONE Playtopia, BTPN Syariah, Rosalia Indah, iLuFA 168, Bintang Mitra Mulia, Kondang Motor, and Barberking joined to hire for practical, day-to-day roles.

Real Roles, Real Momentum

If you’re scanning for semi-skilled opportunities, you’ll find plenty on JobStreet Express: Admin, Cashier, Waiter/Waitress, Warehouse Staff, Barista, Kitchen Crew, and more. You can browse via our website or the app on App Store and Play Store—full-time, part-time, or daily worker. Apply once, apply fast, and stay in control.

#PastiDapatKerja, But Make It Easy

Our platform now hosts more than 17,000 active semi-skilled job ads across Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Bali, Cirebon, Lombok, Solo, and beyond.
