If you are looking for a job and are only filling out applications and sending in paper resumes you are behind the times my friend!
If you’re an employer and have decided to hire on your own and are sifting through resume after resume there is an easier way!
It’s 2014 and in this day and age there is a lot of technology that you should be taking advantage of!
*Did you know that 32% of job seekers have applied for a job on a mobile device? It’s true! I know that may not seem like that big of a number but 1.2 BILLION smartphones will enter the market over the next 5 years as it is easier for applicants that are “on the go” to use their cellphones instead of sitting down at a computer.
Think about it. Everyone is on their phones these days…texting, taking pictures, chatting, posting, pinning, tweeting SHEESH! The list goes on and on. So if you want to get their attention you have to make it mobile!
The future of recruiting technology and the ways that employers connect with candidates is changing!

New ideas like gamification are already starting to downgrade the newest innovations. (Just like that TV you just bought that was the latest and greatest edition…is too has been replaced with a bigger and better version.)
Ideas like gamification may seem far-fetched at the moment but these ideas can be used to simulate workplace tasks, cultural fit and skill levels. By 2015 it is predicted that 40% will utilize this new recruiting strategy.
Makes you wonder what’s next doesn’t it? Keep up with technology or get left behind. What is your priority?
