Why mobile recruitment is trending?

There are many reasons for choosing mobile recruiting, Let’s discuss some of them:

1. Mobile Job Search:  

As the number of mobile users is increasing, it lets them explore for the desired job, the interested candidates may apply to the job opening.

2. Trends of social media:

It can be observed that the use of social media is on the peak, this is the key benefit for the recruiters and professional headhunters to start searching for the talent just by publishing the job vacancy post. The interested candidates may directly engage with the post and they can later apply to for the job too.

3.  Make the career website responsive:

5.  Screening questions:

To avoid irrelevant application, a screening question is the best strategy. For each job, you can define some particular screening questions and those screening questions will be asked when candidate try to apply for the job through a mobile device. When a candidate answers one by one question and if he feels that I am not matching with the criteria, he will not submit the profile hence we can restrict the irrelevant applications.

Lets face it. Mobile is taking over the world. Some may even say that it’s replacing the desktop computer. Between iPhones, Androids, Windows and the plethora of tablets out there, wouldn’t you think mobile recruitment would have been popular by now?

According to JobScience, nearly “7 million people around the world use smart phones to connect with friends, family, and potential employers.”  And according to a Potentialpark study reviewed by Mashable, nearly 20% of “job seekers are using their mobile device for career-related purposes”, and on top of that, 50% of other job seekers could see themselves doing the same in the near future.  So, if your company wants to focus on recruitment advertising, why haven’t you adopted an optimized mobile strategy yet? No really, why haven’t you?

JobScience, also reveals that of only 20% of Fortune 1000 companies have mobile-optimized websites. That’s alarming considering the amount of people who use their phones to surf the Internet. And with the increasing use of mobile applications, it’s surprising to find that even less employers have mobile apps. A study by iMomentous states that only 3% of Fortune 500 companies have a mobile recruitment app. Although this is a very low number of employers, many of these 3% have very notable mobile apps and we should be paying attention.

These studies and statistics reveal that many recruiters and talent acquisition teams are missing the mobile boat for mobile recruitment and mobile application opportunities. In a world where a general response to a question is, “There’s an app for that,” we’re pondering, “Why isn’t there an app for this?”
