A responsive website is only the start to meeting your audience on mobile. Consider the application process. Ensure your application process meets these behaviors! Most applicants do not have their resume on their phone, unless the application process is linked to Indeed or LinkedIn. Meet your candidates on the platform they are on and make it easy to apply!

Consider simplified application processes, discussion-styled applications or reminders.

77% of candidates say Company Culture is the leading factor

Focus on building your brand’s story, employee engagement and employer reputation. Content determines your brand image and the better production of imagery and video sells your business as an employment destination. Reaching out to employees to better understand their needs, wants and behaviors helps continue to retain them as employees and project behaviors to prospective employees.
