How Mobile Apps have Revolutionized Hiring and Job Search

One common misconception employers have is that the hiring apps are complex. But most of these new apps offer extremely easy-to-use interfaces, so that even the most non-tech-savvy recruiter can feel comfortable using them. Best of all, these time-saving hiring apps allow employers to review candidates quickly and easily on the go—plus, they can engage with target candidates in a prompt manner.

More Dynamic Searching for Job Seekers

The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the number of unemployed people in the U.S. is 6.7 million, with a 4.1 percent unemployment rate. So, job seekers, in turn, need smarter, more efficient ways to help them land jobs. Generally, job searches can be split into four different areas: networking, job exploration, application, and the employer communication and interview process. To address these different areas, mobile apps have emerged to allow job seekers to streamline and simplify their entire job search.

By utilizing a mobile app, job seekers can manage their job search and application from anywhere—at the supermarket, while waiting in line at the coffee shop, on their lunch break, and more. Plus, most apps allow job seekers to edge out the competition by setting up personalized job alerts to notify them as soon as the best jobs are posted near them. Job seekers can also upload their resume and apply instantly for jobs with a single tap, as well as get push notifications when their application has been viewed.

Better Candidates. Better Jobs.

Overall, mobile apps make it easier for businesses of all sizes to find and hire the most qualified candidates. They also notify job seekers about the most relevant positions, so they’ll never miss out on a great opportunity. After all, when it comes to hiring and getting hired, speed and efficiency are key. Finding qualified candidates and filling out job applications shouldn’t take forever. With mobile apps, the whole process can be pain-free for both parties.
