What recruitment companies say about mobile
Jenny Potter – Marketing Manager
Aspire
 Mobile is becoming increasingly
important in recruitment and this is
reflected in Aspire’s stats over the past
year.
 Mobile traffic has gone from 12% traffic
coming to us via mobile this time last
year to over 25% now.
 First and foremost a mobile site needs
to be easy to navigate and quick to
load.
2013 2014

 At Aspire all candidates
registered on our desktop sites
can quickly and easily apply to
roles from their mobile, saving
them from having to move
devices and potentially
forgetting to return later.

Claudine Edwards – Marketing and PR Manager
Oliver James Associates
 Looking for a new job whilst
being currently employed can
be tricky so job seekers are
increasingly looking to be able
to search for new
opportunities away from
prying eyes.
 This is where mobile devices
come in to their own and offer
the option for “private” job
searching. In the last year,
visits to our website via mobile
devices have definitely risen.

Claudine Edwards – Marketing and PR Manager
Oliver James Associates
 The mobile version of
ojassociates.com is geared
solely towards job searching
and application, to further aid
job seekers we have added
quick apply widgets such as
Apply via linked in.
 Since launch we have seen an
increase in mobile
applications as well as overall
visits from mobiles and tablets
which now account for around
12% of all of our traffic.

Special thanks to our contributors!

 Building an app is different to having a
mobile optimised website.
 People will have to download your app from
either your site or from an app store.
 These enable you to have your branding on
their devices and push messages and
notifications direct to their mobile devices.
15

 Mobile websites can either be a different
version of your website or can dynamically
resize to a mobile screen – this is called a
responsive site.
 Mobile websites don’t need to be
downloaded.
 Mobile sites should be faster to load than
your normal site and therefore help with
your search engine rankings from a mobile.
