Phones outnumber people<\/strong>: there are almost 7.2 billion people\u00a0on Earth but well over 7.2 billion active SIM cards. Add to that fact the growing nomadic way of life<\/strong> with more and more people moving around both locally and internationally and you will find that a mobile recruitment strategy is fundamental to target more candidates, and most companies are now well aware of it.<\/p>\n

Over a week ago, we posted our interview<\/a> with Shelly Mudd, Vice President of Corporate Development for Jobs2Careers<\/a>. Shelly gave us valuable feedback and insights about her company and the industry. She pointed out how the biggest challenge for Jobs2Careers<\/a> \u2013 and the online recruitment industry for that matter \u2013 is mobile. Indeed, not only do job seekers increasingly search for jobs from their mobile devices, but they also expect to complete the full application process from them.<\/p>\n

With an ever-faster moving way of life, professionals \u2013 whether active or passive candidates \u2013 are always on the go hence likely to rely exclusively on their mobile devices. People are getting busier and their attention span is getting shorter. Mobile recruitment brings a solution to this specific trend.<\/p>\n

\"Mobile<\/a><\/p>\n

Applying for a job in a \u201ctraditional\u201d way requires candidates to be sedentary and takes out time and energy. Recruiters cannot expect applicants to spend the same amount of time applying for a job from a desktop and from a mobile device. With\u00a0a laptop or desktop, candidates can easily edit and upload their CV and cover letter while getting\u00a0the full experience of a job board. Using mobile devices should be easier, faster and more personalized<\/strong>\u00a0for recruiters and candidates. Conventional CVs and cover letters could always be replaced by LinkedIn profiles or other ready-to-use data.<\/p>\n

Too often, companies create mobile career sites and stop there. Yet responsive web design is not enough: job seekers may use mobile devices to search for jobs, but they also want to apply for these jobs directly from their phones or tablets. This is an opportunity recruiters may be missing out on.<\/p>\n

It is no surprise that more and more networking mobile apps<\/a> are being developed, along with mobile recruiting\u00a0apps. While networking apps can be beneficial to both recruiters and job seekers, recruiting\u00a0apps allow both parties to meet their needs faster. In a previous\u00a0blog post<\/a>, we mentioned Kudoz, a Tinder-like app that helps candidates find jobs with their LinkedIn profile using\u00a0the swipe function.<\/p>\n

\"screen1136x1136\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Switch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Switch<\/a>, a U.S. recruiting\u00a0app, calls itself the Tinder for jobs: it\u2019s actually a hybrid between Let\u2019s Meet and Kudoz<\/a>. This type\u00a0of mobile application is likely to be what job seekers are hoping for: a quick and easy way to apply for jobs and connect with recruiters<\/strong>. The way it works is similar to Kudoz: you swipe on the jobs you like and wait to get matched. Once you have a match, you can chat instantly with hiring managers, the way you do with Let\u2019s Meet. Switch CEO Yarden Tadmor said he was inspired to launch the app due to the lack of digital evolution in employment sites<\/strong>. He hopes to dispel the frustration and uncertainty that comes with submitting applications through impersonal portals. The app currently gathers over 100,000 job seekers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
