Boost in mobile recruitment apps as mobile growth doubles

The mobile recruitment movement has received another boost with predictions that European mobile broadband subscribers will almost double from 22m to more than 43m in 2011, according to global analyst CCS Insight.

Shaun Collins, managing director at CCS Insight, told Recruiter that he expects the growth of mobile apps in 2010 to continue and the ability to monetise an application will become an important attribute within the developer world.

“We therefore expect there will be applications available on mobile for recruitment that will improve matching people and opportunities more quickly.”

Recruitment apps developed for the mobile environment already include the candidate management app, Recruiter for iPhone/iPod Touch, developed by former recruiter Nik Burns, founder of Burnsoft.
