Mobile recruiting, or m-recruiting, is exploding - it's LinkedIn who says so! All the more reason to intelligently integrate it into your Inbound Recruiting.
There are several reasons for this very strong growth in m-recruitment :
- It corresponds to the new uses of candidates, especially young people
- It brings really innovative capabilities like geolocation
- It reaches candidates who want to apply with their smartphone
As of 2014, nearly 40% of French companies had adopted m-recruitment in some way.
According to Jean-Christophe Anna, managing director of #rmstouch: "At the end of 2015, 19% of the applications recorded by Cadremploi were from a smartphone or a tablet. Even two years ago, companies didn't believe in it."
The revolution of mobile recruiting is well and truly underway.
According to jobaroundme, the ROI benefits of m-recruitment are numerous.
A study conducted by the site in 2014 with 2,000 companies found that:
- 69% of recruiters believe that m-recruitment offers greater ease in connecting the company and the candidate
- 67% think it allows more responsiveness from candidates
- 30% consider geolocation as a decisive feature
In 2017, mobile accounted for 54% of visits made to a career site according to the Monster Year Report.
Faced with this revolution in usage, both on the candidate and recruiter sides, it is essential to integrate mobility into a Inbound Recruiting approach.
