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

UPCOMING EVENT

2006 Billboard MECCA

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," said Rob Salerno, President and Founder of Cinnamon Entertainment Group LLC and parent company of MobileWirelessJobs.com.

"Instead we have seen our SMS 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.

"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.

job opportunities

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.
