MOBILE RECRUITING HITS A FEVERISH PITCH
By MobileWirelessJobs / MobileContentJobs
August 2006

NEW YORK – When MobileWirelessJobs launched its SMS Text Messaging Job Alert service the last thing anybody expected was for it be used to target specific candidates about offline events.

"Quite honestly, we thought it was just going to be a text messaging service that would alert candidates of a new job listings on our site," said Rob Salerno, President and Founder of Cinnamon Entertainment Group LLC and parent company of MobileWirelessJobs.com.

"Instead we have seen our SMS candidate list grow 150% in less than 3 months, " Salerno added. The reason: mobile wireless companies are now contacting MWJ to send text messages for invite-only networking events, Job Fairs, and Open Houses to potential candidates.

"What's nice about it is the fact the most people have mobile area codes related to their home residence. Therefore, the unexpected result has been our ability to geo-target candidates based on area code. " he added.

As Online Talent Acquisition and Sourcing has become more mobile, so has the need to use the more direct means to attract qualified candidates. SMS Text Messaging is a non-intrusive way to send a targeted recruitment message without the need for the candidate to respond or put a resume together.

Furthermore, as Mobile recruiting advances many predict the text resume will be a thing of the past. In fact, many experts believe that candidates will instead one day create "digital profiles" that would include a summary of work experience, education, project/work accomplishments, budget performances, direct report relationships and other psychological / behavioral traits that can sent / received via a mobile device.

The relationship with the right candidate is a long term endeavor. Even after the "right" candidate has been sourced, companies still have a considerable challenge. Companies want to know the candidate's competencies, leadership skills, quantifiable accomplishments as well as personal strengths / weaknesses before even calling that person in for an interview. This oftentimes cannot be accomplished through a text resume. Its no longer a matter of whether a candidate "can do" the job but how.

"With Mobile recruiting, you will see more audio / visual communication during the candidate pre-screening process than ever before," Salerno confirmed. Staffing managers today are sending and receiving more mobile communication than most candidates realize. "Of course, " Salerno continued "candidate delivery and presentation has always been an important factor in the recruitment process. But now, it's been taken to a whole new level. We've had many candidates email us to request a confidential resume video podcast of their own via the mobile and broadband platforms."

This is particularly true of senior level candidates who wish to remain anonymous yet still wish to be kept abreast of new opportunities in their area of expertise. These resume videos typically function as a canned interview and give the potential employer a much clearer idea of the candidate's qualifications, confidence and mannerisms than a text resume.

"Its still a very competitive labor market right now, as you know. We reported the mobile hiring boom back in June in MobileContent Careers and it hasn't let up," Salerno added. Even through the use of blogs, employers have been very careful to research candidates before requesting an interview. "The blogs, such as MobileWirelessJobs.com, are tools recruiters use to open an dialogue with a candidate. The purpose of which is to research the candidate more thoroughly and assess value," noted Salerno.

This level of candidate assessment could be something as small as analyzing a candidate's writing style when he/she responds to a message thread or how he/she goes about solving a technical problem. "By assessing a candidate's problem solving skills, you can really draw a lot of conclusions about that person. Some candidates see the bigger picture - some don't," Salerno pointed out.

In fact, some think the recruitment blog is merely an informal journal of random thoughts used by recruiters to stir up friendly conversation. "Recruiters don't have enough time in a day to waste on that. Each paint stroke has a purpose,' Salerno concluded.

In sum, it is the combination of candidate research and technology that has turned mobile recruiting into a rather complex process and has also represented a tremendous cost savings to forward thinking HR organizations. Accordingly, MobileWirelessJobs highly advises mobile wireless candidates to put forth more time and effort in making themselves more accessible via the mobile platform in today's hiring market.

MobileContent Careers is the monthly eNewsletter of MobileWirelessJobs. Each issue contains one or more HR interviews or HR Stories in the mobile content and wireless industries. These article help our candidates learn more about the companies listed and hiring trends trends listed on MobileWirelessJobs beyond what can be found in a job posting. Our research has shown that employers who participate in our HR interview receive a much greater resume response for their time and effort.

APPLICANTS DON'T FALL INTO THE "BLACK HOLE" AT EA MOBILE. THEY CONSIDER EACH CANDIDATE. REALLY, THEY DO.
By MobileWirelessJobs / MobileContentJobs
August 2006

As part of our HR Q&A interview series, MobileWirelessJobs recently caught up with Christine Bigelow and Elke Gallo, recruiters at EA Mobile, to learn more about their company's online talent acquisition and staffing practices. The HR Q&A series is a featured column in MobileContent Careers. MWJ= MobileWirelessJobs.com; EA= EA Mobile. MWJ= MobileWirelessJobs.com; EA= EA Mobile.

MWJ: What can a candidate do to get noticed by HR when applying for a job?

EA: When a candidate does not get a response from Recruiting/HR, they often assume the resume was not “noticed.” We review every single resume submitted to our active/open job opportunities! Frequently candidates apply for very senior level roles, for which they are under qualified, in hopes to get a foot in the door. This is very often why they don’t receive a positive response, and then assume the resume went into a “black hole”. If you want to increase your chances of getting a response, be sure to apply for positions that are a strong match to your experience level. Go ahead and submit that “foot in the door” resume, but be realistic about it. You may not see any response until a less senior position comes along at some point down the road. Also be sure to have a well written resume in which your skills are accurately represented, and your work history is clearly detailed. We see lots of poorly written resumes! Please end this torture for the benefit of recruiters everywhere!.

MWJ: Can you shed some light on any new recruiting initiatives that candidates may not be aware of currently at your currently?

EA: EA Mobile is very active right now. Most of the really cool projects, games etc are currently unannounced…..so I can’t share any details here! But trust me, you want to get involved! We are actively hiring Engineers, QA, Marketing, Producers, Product Managers and other roles.

MWJ: Have you ever used podcasts in recruiting before? If so, what is your experience with resume videos so far?

EA: We have not used podcast recruiting yet. But we would definitely be willing to give it a try.

MWJ: How quick is the turn around between sourcing the candidate, interviewing the candidate, offering the candidate a position, and hiring the candidate? Is this process any faster when the resume is submitted on-line vs. offline, or is there no difference?

EA: In general the hiring timeline has little to do with how the candidate submits their information and more to do with our own project deadlines, or travel schedules. Turnaround time is frequently dependent upon the specific hiring managers involved and the intensity of the responsibilities and deadlines they are facing. If the manager is up against a project deadline of some sort, then interviews will often be pushed back a bit. Very busy managers or departments tend to take a little more time to conduct the hiring process. In general we try to get candidates through the process in 2-3 weeks, but in some cases it takes longer.

MWJ: What methods are used to track resumes? Can you recite what sources are working for you, and which are not?

EA: We track candidate resumes with our EA Worldwide Candidate database., When you apply online your profile and resume becomes part of our the candidate database, which means any EA recruiter from around the globe can search and find your resume. Opportunities can come your way from anywhere! Emailed resumes are not in the database. Candidates can easily send a resume directly by email. But we recommend you also apply online at some point when you have the time so that you can benefit from the candidate database. http://jobs.ea.com/eala, or eamobilejobs@ea.com

MWJ: Are resumes submitted online and off-line handled differently? Is it better for a candidate to submit his/her resume online?

EA: In general no, there is not a big difference in the way resumes are handled when we receive them. EA has an employment site where you can apply online of course. We also accept resumes by email. Both methods work, and we do READ the resumes! Really! We do! http://jobs.ea.com/eala, or eamobilejobs@ea.com

MWJ: What has been your experience with job boards? Have you been more successful searching the resume database than posting jobs?

EA: We do use job boards occasionally, and we do find them helpful at times to find specific niche candidates. Postings will frequently yield lots of junior level job seekers & not enough senior candidates. Sometimes resume mining/searching can yield that specific, senior level resume we really need. Especially if there is a unique combination of skills we are looking for.

MobileContent Careers is the monthly eNewsletter of MobileWirelessJobs. Each issue contains one or more HR interviews of the top employers in the mobile content and wireless industries. These interviews help our candidates learn more about the companies listed on MobileWirelessJobs beyond what can be found in a job posting. Our research has shown that employers who participate in our HR interview receive a much greater resume response for their time and effort.
