The world of work has changed. Remote work is on the rise, and working hours are more flexible than ever. How can recruitment agencies hope to keep up? Say hello to mobile recruitment software.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is mobile recruitment software?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s all in the name: mobile recruitment software is any recruitment solution tailored for the mobile experience. This could look like either an app or a mobile-responsive website \u2013 the important distinction is that you and your candidates can use it anytime, anywhere, all on your phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why add mobile recruitment software to your recruitment agency\u2019s capabilities? Put simply, it\u2019s recruitment software<\/a> built for the moment. Mobile recruitment software offers unprecedented flexibility \u2013 and the ability to recruit on the go can result in huge benefits for you, your team, and your candidates.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

1. Increased productivity<\/h2>\n

Working solely from a desktop computer is a thing of the past. A recent <\/span>survey from TechRadar<\/span><\/a> conducted with workers in the US and UK found that 73% of those surveyed use their smartphones to conduct work-related business. With more people working outside of the office, it\u2019s crucial for your team to have access to software whenever they need it most.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the competitive world of recruiting, time matters. With recruitment software right in your pocket, your team can review important details before walking into a client meeting or quickly contact a candidate after that meeting to give them more information about an open role. Having this up-to-date access to information at any time \u2013 and being able to act on it \u2013 could make all the difference for your team.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

2. Better data<\/h2>\n

Gone are the days when data entry happens after the fact. With mobile recruitment software, there\u2019s no waiting until you get to a computer to make changes to records; instead, you can update your database right where you are with the touch of a screen. New job? Updated client details? Follow-ups to send? Edit records, jot down notes, and update activities, whenever you need to.<\/span><\/p>\n

The immediacy of mobile recruiting isn\u2019t just useful in the moment. It helps create a <\/span>cleaner, more usable database<\/span><\/a>, with the most accurate, up-to-date information available across your entire organisation. Over time, you\u2019ll find that a tidy database is essential when it comes to sourcing candidates and working with clients; building this single source of truth is the foundation of any future growth your recruiting agency is looking to achieve.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

3. Improved candidate experience<\/h2>\n

The modern workforce is changing, and recruiting is changing with it. In our recent <\/span>GRID Talent Trends Report<\/span><\/a>, we asked candidates their preferences on how they want to interact with their recruiters, and the results were split. Most preferred email, but others would rather be reached with a phone call, text, or even an app notification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through these preferences varied, one takeaway emerged: understanding these preferences matters. When recruiters don\u2019t reach out via the preferred communication channel, respondents were twice as likely to say they wouldn\u2019t work with that agency again. Mobile recruitment software can help ensure your message is getting through to your candidates \u2013 and give them the personalised, seamless experience<\/a> they\u2019re looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mobile recruitment is especially key when it comes to candidates working within the healthcare<\/a> and commercial\/light industrial sectors. If a candidate gets off a shift late in the evening (or early in the morning), they\u2019ll want to know where they\u2019ll be working for their next shift. The ability to quickly find that information on their phone or easily contact their recruiter in a pinch is crucial in keeping your talent pool informed, and can even help decrease drop-off and boost redeployment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What to look for in your mobile recruitment software<\/h2>\n

Not all mobile recruitment software is built the same. When choosing which one is right for your organisation, there are a few key considerations you\u2019ll want to keep in mind:<\/span><\/p>\n
