2011 is a brand new year,

A lot of things will happen in the recruitment area... We even might be recruiting in outer space because of lack of skilled people on earth...



What will happen this year is a further expansion in Mobile recruiting.

With the launch of mobile recruiting apps back in 2008, recruiting via Mobile has been evolving. Nowadays a recruiter is not up to date if he has not implemented Mobile in his marketing plans for 2011.

The recruiter has had over 2 years to think of his own mobile strategy..

- Why Mobile
- What is possible on Mobile
- Where to market my mobile recruiting features
- What will happen if we start using mobile recruiting

Of course many different thoughts around this, and also possibilities are limited to the carrier you need to work with in terms of dataplans and other stuff that limit internet usage.

The coolest thing with Mobile is that a recruiter can have his employer brand in their pocket

Worst thing about Mobile: to start having doubts about it "I worry, will people start using my app?"

Get this clear:
What is your goal in using mobile for recruitment
Are you aiming for direct hires?
Are you building on your brand awareness?
Would you like to keep 'm up to date on what is happening in your company?
Would you like to let 'm job snack during travel time?

What technologies can I combine in using Mobile?
