First of Kind Technology Combines Web 2.0 and Interactive Text Messaging on a Single Reporting Platform
June 28, 2010—Findlay, Ohio— As mobile communication rapidly becomes the medium of choice for generations across the board, The RightThing, leader in recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), today announced at the Society for Human Resource Management’s (SHRM) 62nd Annual Conference & Exposition in San Diego, the launch of a fully integrated mobile recruiting platform, enabling clients to add mobile capabilities to their recruiting playbook with measurable results.
Partnering with mobile technology innovator mResource, The RightThing will work with clients to optimize existing client career sites for mobile applications and enable active recruitment through interactive text campaigns. The mResource mobile recruitment platform is specifically designed for the recruiting industry, combining the communication strengths of text messaging with mobile Web 2.0 on a single reporting platform that can then be integrated into existing workflow technology along with the client’s applicant tracking system.
As an innovator in RPO, The RightThing is committed to leading the industry in enhancing the candidate experience by providing anywhere, anytime access to search and apply for opportunities. Employers will benefit from establishing their employment brand and presence on the mobile web, and see productivity gains through leveraging mobile with social media.
“As younger generations enter the workforce and mobile communications continue to become more integrated as a lifestyle, it is clear that the future of recruiting is mobile, said TerryTerhark, CEO of The RightThing. “With a great deal of interest from both clients and prospects, we are proud to lead the way with this new mobile tool and expect to see high volumes of candidates opt in to client mobile career networks.”
Today’s mobile phone usage statistics are compelling. According to a recent CTIA wireless industry survey, over four billion text messages are sent daily. Recent findings from Morgan Stanley, Research Division reported that mobile internet is ramping faster than desktop internet at unprecedented adoption rates. In addition, data gathered from the GSMA, an association that represents the interests of the worldwide mobile communications industry, predicted mobile usage to reach six billion subscribers by 2013.
“Mobile is a powerful communication tool. mResource gives companies a holistic mobile recruiting platform complete with real-time reporting and integration to quickly and cost effectively maximize the mobile recruiting channel,” explained Mark Mergler, Founder and CEO of mResource. “Mobile today is the internet of yesterday. Our clients recognize that providing mobile access to their career candidates and employees is a simple and effective approach to recruiting and employee engagement whenever and wherever they prefer.”
