As a recruiter, you obviously understand the power of a great hire. While the best often come from referrals, it can be hard to get those referrals engaged in your recruitment program, especially for those who don’t work in-office. To combat these problems, many organizations are turning to mobile to make the referral process easier for everyone, including the new remote workforce.

This infographic, compiled by social employee referral management platform Zao, illustrates the benefits of mobile in your employee referral programs, as well as some best practices when you get started. Some points to note include:

• Remote workers have nearly doubled from 2005 to present -- 34% to 63%
• 1 in 4 people who come to a career site are coming from a mobile device
• Globally, the average remote worker carries 3.5 mobile devices
