To add the JSTN video capabilities to the mResource Mobile Talent 2.0 platform will give companies the ability to communicate with candidates through text and video – all from any mobile device, explained Mark Merger, mResource CEO.
“Utilizing a mobile recruiting platform is more than “app”, it’s a matter of combining interactive texting – two-way text conversations, mobile web and video – delivering your website and videos via a mobile device and then integrating the data into existing workflow technology, applicant tracking system and/or HR information system,” explained Mergler. “The partnership between JSTN and mResource can deliver this comprehensive platform.”
