Norfolk, VA (PRWEB) November 05, 2013
HireFuel, a pre-hire, front end recruitment solution, has become the first to include a fully comprehensive mobile resume upload feature. Integrated with services such as DropBox, Box.net, Evernote and Google Drive, job seekers can now upload resume files stored within a cloud hosting service to complete the application process from a mobile device as easily as from a desktop computer. HireFuel, a division of Dominion Enterprises, is a developer of mobile-optimized, cloud-based recruitment software.
The online job application process generally requires job seekers to upload their digital resume. For the recruitment industry, uploading digital files through mobile devices has been a difficult feature to develop. This challenge becomes more significant as data shows a growing trend of job seekers utilizing their mobile devices to search and apply for jobs.
● 77% of job seekers use mobile job search apps, according to Beyond.com.
● 30% of traffic to job search engine SimplyHired now comes from mobile devices and is estimated to reach 50% by 2015.
● From 2012 to 2013, niche boards such as EmploymentGuide.com and HealthCareerWeb.com have seen a 96% increase in mobile traffic.
● Direct employer UPS has 20% of its hires apply via a mobile device.
Figuring out how best to serve the mobile job seeker continues to be the overarching theme among industry experts and at recruitment conferences like this year’s International Association of Employment Web Sites in Chicago. "Adapting to mobile job seeker behavior has been a top priority for HireFuel," said HireFuel Product Development Manager Mark Perry. "Enabling a streamlined multi-screen process is crucial and will further serve customers by converting mobile job seekers into applicants."
Brian Larson, director of business development, added, "Solving the mobile resume upload challenge was one of HireFuel’s main initiatives to increase applicant conversions. It’s very exciting to release this cutting-edge technology, as it legitimizes and strengthens HireFuel’s position as an innovative leader in the recruitment technology space and continues to provide increasing value to our clients."
