Mobile Recruiting Websites

With smart phones making a greater impact on day to day life than any other modern device, it’s clear that nearly every facet of business has found a way to incorporate it. Now, nearly 700 of the world’s top employers are utilizing mobile recruitment strategies. In an economy that is trying to bounce back from a recession, many people are going to multiple interviews a day, and job hunting is increasing constantly. That’s why the production of career, job seeking, and application status apps has increased by 11% in the last year. Now, mobile career apps are essential to any growing business.

Unfortunately, having job postings on a standard business website and looking at those same job postings from a mobile device do not always work out. Standard websites aren’t as easy to navigate via smart phone, which is why many businesses are taking this opportunity to create new mobile websites. Banks have been some of the leaders in this trend with not only mobile banking but also, mobile websites that include up to date job listings and downloadable applications.

Furthermore, the career inspired apps have been making a huge impact in the App Store with best sellers such as IPQ Planner – an app that does an assessment of which career is best for you and improves your chances of obtaining it. Pocket Resume is another popular career app that can be used on nearly every smartphone, from blackberry to android, this app allows you to craft a resume directly on your smartphone and is complete with PDF formatting so you don’t have to worry about the layout or design. BeKnown is an app that was recently launched by career search engine monster.com and is making a huge impact on job seekers with it’s ability to create career identities on Facebook so that employers don’t see your personal account and can focus on your professional account. Finally there’s LinkUp which is an app that allows you to search for jobs with filters such as keywords or location.
On the other hand, there are some companies that are already using mobile devices to find candidates for jobs via apps like LinkedIn (mobile version of the www.linkedin.com ) and Ning which is a great networking app for entrepenuers or small business owners that are looking to collaborate with people in a similar feild. No matter which way you look at it, getting into the career app game or making current websites mobile are great moves for companies that are looking to grow.
