Sometimes you find really interesting stuff regarding mobile recruiting on the internet…
Following Mrecruitingcamp in my ongoing hunger for “mobile” content I stumpled upon this presentation given bij Linkedin at #Mrec this year in Atlanta. By the way if you missed that one this year, check out the recordings here at “Livestream”.
Interesting to see is, that we Dutchies are amongst the leading countries in Mobile Recruiting! So all my evangelizing over the past few years seems to work out… 🙂
Still Recruiting via Mobile seems a magical thing, something unconventional. Mobile Recuruitingcamp, #mrec, last month in San Francisco proved otherwise

Below, what happened a month before at TedX, featuring Marco Tempest.
I am still happy with the fact I went into recruiting, all the fun stuff you may think about… Get involved with… and so on…
Well as of today I am into publishing as well: Magazines, posters, logo’s whatever. As of today I am able to add stuff to the worlds hilarious laughter, but also to the worlds most serious items. … Okay, here it we go,
It’s again all about augmented reality and how this adds value to the recruiting community.

Let’s see how we can bring this into the Recruiting space! check out the Stiktu blog in the meanwhile.
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?
