recruit2mobile is an on-demand, mobile recruiting solution that features robust mobile capabilities including automted SMS (short message service, or "texting") ads, targeted SMS campaigns, SmartLink short urls, mobile websites, candidate management/routing, reporting and integration with other systems. We've designed recruit2mobile in a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, which means all you need is a web browser to access everything it has to offer including:
SMS Text Ads
Text messaging is quickly becoming a preferred mode of communication, with the typical U.S. mobile subscriber sending 357 text messages a month, compared to placing or receiving 204 phone calls (Nielsen Mobile 2008). Much of today's workforce has evolved into a mobile generation and recruit2mobile provides everything you need to utilize this untapped recruiting channel including:
- Exclusive, easy to remember SMS short-code: 88000
- SMS keywords optimized for Recruiting (e.g. JOB, RETAIL, CAMPUS, etc.)
- Custom SMS keywords available for branding (e.g. FEDEX, UPS)
- 24/7 automated request/response via SMS
- Targeted SMS campaigns to candidates
- Short urls (SmartLinks) to conserve character space and track clickthroughs
Mobile Websites
In addition to text messaging, many mobile phones are able to access the web, but are not able to handle traditional web sites. Mobile sites are designed for display on mobile phones and mobile browsers, but most companies today don't have mobile-friendly websites or career sites.
With recruit2mobile, you are able to create a mobile career site in a matter of minutes, complete with your employer brand and style. Additional pages can be added with a few clicks whether you want to promote store locations, jobs or events.
Your recruit2mobile mobile sites are industry compliant and optimized on-the-fly for over 2,000 mobile phones, ensuring a great experience for your candidates.
Candidate management and routing
Once you've signed up and created a couple of SMS Ads and mobile sites, simply start promoting your SMS Ads (e.g. text RETAIL to 88000) anywhere a potential candidate might see it. If you're a retailer, promote your SMS Ads onsite with signs, banners or on point-of-sale receipts. If you're a restaurant, also consider promoting them on to-go cups, napkins, bags or condiment packages.
As potential candidates see your SMS Ads, they simply send a text message and recruit2mobile will automatically send a text message response back to the candidate. You can provide a SmartLink (short url) directly in your SMS Ad to direct candidates to your mobile site where additional contact information can be collected through a mobile-friendly form. You can also configure your SMS Ads to send immediate notifications to your hiring team any time a candidate responds to one of your SMS Ads.
Reporting and Integration
recruit2mobile tracks all candidate inquiries and clickthroughs for your SMS Ads and mobile sites. Access the dashboard to see real-time candidate leads or select a date-range to see your mobile recruiting activity in a chart.
The recruit2mobile solution has been designed to work with other systems, so you can get your data where you need it. Whether you need to export data with a click of a button, integrate your candidate leads with Outlook (vCard support), recruit2mobile makes it as easy as the click of a button.
recruit2mobile also features a robust webservice layer, with several integrations available. You can even "tweet" your career content from recruit2mobile to Twitter with a click of the button.
Mobile Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
recruit2mobile requires no special software or IT maintenance. All you need is a browser - you don't even need to know how to text to use this mobile recruiting solution. Sign up today for a subscription whether you need to mobilize your efforts for one location, a franchise or all your locations.
