The growing popularity of smart phones is allowing people to stay in the loop with anything and everything that is going on in their lives. Though most people are taking full advantage of this technology, a handful of folks still aren’t up to speed with email, texting and keeping their mobile devices within reach at all times.
Recruiting with the expectation that a candidate has a mobile device is something that you will always want to keep on your radar.
A simple checklist to keep in mind during your recruiting efforts is below:
During your initial phone call, be sure to ask:
- Do you have their cell phone number?
- Do you receive/read emails on your cell phone?
-
Do you receive texts on your cell phone?
- Are you okay with business correspondence through texting?
Mobile Emails
-
Make sure your emails are easy to read on mobile devices.
- This includes size and color of text, font and graphics.
-
Keep your emails concise and to the point
- Long emails will be skimmed and candidates will skip over important content.
- Make sure the candidate does not have to scroll horizontally to read the email.
- Make sure hyperlinks are large enough to tap with a finger.
- Make sure the hyperlinks you include lead to mobile websites.
