Mobile technology has changed the way people live, play and work. Phones are not just an option for communication; they are now a necessity for remaining connected to the outside world. The cell phone is generally the one thing people never leave home without. There are a reported 4 billion phone users worldwide, with a estimated 6 billion users by 2013. Contrarily, there are only 1 billion PC owners. More than 3 billion people routinely engage in text messaging via their mobile phone, easily making it the most popular mass media data application in the world.
So what does this mean for Boston Recruiters?
Mobile recruitment allows companies to connect with candidates in a much more personal manner. Professionals today, especially the rapidly emerging Gen Y workforce, are constantly on-the-go, meaning less waiting at their desk for a phone call or email from a potential employer. Increasing numbers of job seekers are turning to their mobile devices as a primary tool in their job search. Smart phones—iPhone, BlackBerry, the Google phone and the Palm Pre, for example—can give their users a competitive edge by allowing them to stay informed and quickly react to new job opportunities.
Mobile recruitment methods, such as texting (the universal mobile tool, available on over 98% of cell phones) and job search applications designed for mobile devices, give Boston Recruiters the chance to connect with both active and passive job seekers who search for jobs directly from their mobile devices. Incorporating innovative and cutting-edge mobile strategies into recruitment programs ensure that companies are able to connect with job seekers anywhere, anytime.
