Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Enterprise Computing team said: ”The increasing penetration of mobile devices is a major trend in the Online Recruitment market in the US. Mobile devices, smartphones, and tablets are being used by candidates to access job-related information. The market is witnessing an increase in the usage of mobile devices by candidates to apply for jobs. In addition, recruiters are using mobile devices to post new jobs. Candidates are leveraging mobile devices to let them connect with recruiters anytime and anywhere, even while they are on the go. With an increase in the adoption of mobile devices, a number of vendors are launching mobile applications that can provide recruiting opportunities at the candidates’ convenience. For instance, Monster.com launched Monster Jobs, a mobile application that is accessible in Android and iPhone application stores.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers is the increase in the number of social recruiting platforms. A cost-effective means of recruitment, coupled with the ability to search potential candidates from a vast pool of applicants enables enterprises to recruit the right talent for the right position in a cost- and time-effective manner which is why several recruiters are using social media recruiting platforms.
