Mobile SMS: When you’ve got initiative there are no limits!
January 18, 2009
Interesting post from Scott Gordon on RecruitingBlogs.com:
I honestly think that this is outstanding. I want to hire her..and hire her now. The recruiter at what ever cell phone provider she uses should be on her like stink. Who better to market their devices other than a girl that can send 484 text messages per day??
I don’t have kids but I can only imagine what I’d do if I were her dad. A monthly cell phone bill of $2900 bucks. 484 text messages per day - to FOUR - of her friends. Grrrrrrrand total per month - 14,528 text messages that generated a 400 page phone bill.
WHY is her dad so friggen happy??
Interesting usage trends follow. Recruiters take note: When you’ve got initiative there are no limits! OOOOOO…YOU ARE SO GROUNDED!! OOOOOOO!!!!

We often talk creative ways in which we can leverage mobile marketing in the recruitment process.

The challenge
Attracting the best employees is a challenge in the best of times. A new generation of job seekers is more inclined to focus on value-based issues rather than a fancy title or fat paycheck. Corporate social responsibility (CSR), company values, environmental policies and so on are increasingly important factors in attracting employees. For these job seekers, company information and the way the company expresses its brand can be deciding factors.
More Mobile Relations Norway was hiring new employees in cooperation with Orion Search International AS. The first job recruitment ad (Dagens Næringsliv, on July 4, 2008) was very traditional in approach and had very low response, resulting in no qualified applications.

How the Virtual Workforce Is Changing Everything

The ECT News Network picked this up:
Crowdsourcing and telecommuting are conspiring to reinvent the traditional notion of a job. No longer is the one-employer model the only game in town. Some companies have found that work done by freelancers may be of better quality than what they were used to getting from their in-house employees.
