What should you build first – mobile website or native app?

All 3 major job boards here in Australia are dabbling in mobile, and there are 2 distinct strategies adopted. Only 1 site has won. It should be a no brainer, but should you be building a mobile optimised website or native application for your recruitment website?

Here’s Some Rope. What Will You Do With It?

The scene: Colonel Rhumbus , a  recruiter from an unnamed US Intelligence Agency is interviewing and reviewing the credentials of an Austin Millbarge , a young man set to graduate from Columbia in May, for top-secret position as an intelligence analyst. Colonel Rhumbus – So young man, let’s take a look at your qualifications, BS from Penn, Grad degree from Columbia School of International and Public Affairs, (hey I went there as well, ‘wink wink’), letters of recommendation from Dean Wormer and Undersecretary Fitz-Hume, yes, I’d say your file all seems in order. I must say this is quite an impressive application. Austin Millbarge – That is fantastic. I am really excited to have this opportunity.  It has been a dream of mine to serve my country. Rhumbus – Superb. We are pleased to offer you this opportunity, after all, the last few years have been a bit challenging to find the right candidates with the perfect mix of education and desire to make a difference for the country.  All that is left to do is a simple background check and we will be able to extend an offer by the end of the week. Millbarge – Background check? That should not be a problem, I have never been arrested, never had a speeding ticket, heck – I don’t even have any cavities. Rhumbus – Great, we’ll check the FBI, Interpol, the DMV, and of course a quick scan of your online presence, you know, LinkedIn, Facebook, that kind of thing. Millbarge – Facebook? Millbarge pauses while his mind races through four years of wall posts, tagged pictures, and Farmville games.  No, nothing bad there.  I mean I have not been all that honest with my relationship status updates, but who hasn’t?  I mean, aren’t relationships all complicated?  I think I am in good shape. Well that should be just fine, I have always maintained a professional image on social networking sites.  In fact, most of my postings are government and intelligence related, since those topics really consume and define me as a person. Rhumbus – Really?  Interesting.  Usually we only worry about pictures of candidates at college parties, doing keg stands, that kind of thing.  And even then, we usually just require they take them down, or at least make them not visible to the public. What kinds of government and intelligence related postings do you make? Millbarge – Links to interesting articles in the major papers, foreign affairs op-eds, that kind of thing. When the WikiLeaks thing went down last week and the site was crashed I found a link to a mirror site out of Poland that an old roommate from Penn sent to me, I posted that link on the private Facebook group of Columbia SIPA folks I am friends with. Rhumbus – Momentarily stunned.  You did what? Millbarge – I posted a link to the WIkiLeaks mirror site. You know, so that we could continue to see what all the fuss was about.  I mean there was some crazy stuff there.   Rhumbus – You know Mr. Millbarge, that the information posted on that site is still considered classified by the United States government, and was illegally obtained and distributed.  The content of many of those cables can and will likely jeopardize the identity and safety of many brave men and women that I consider friends and colleagues. Posting that kind of content on Facebook tells me that you might not be the kind of person that we should trust in a position of high importance and with access to and responsibility for safeguarding classified materials. Millbarge – Uh… Uh… What I mean is, I mean, what I meant was there might be a picture or two of me passed out after a Halloween party at the Delta Chi house. Ha ha, no harm really, right? Rhumbus – Standing up.  Good day, Mr. Millbarge.  I think I have heard enough. We will be in touch. And Scene . Here’s the thing – after the WikiLeaks scandal broke, an official at the State Department, someone like our fictional Colonel Rhumbus, contacted the Career Services office at the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs warning students that discussing WikiLeaks would be considered inappropriate, and could endanger their future employment prospects. The notion being that the kind of candidate that would not see a problem posting about or discussing WikiLeaks on Facebook or Twitter, would ‘call into question their ability to deal with confidential information which is part of most positions with the federal government.’ Good advice I think from the State Department official. But I also wonder, if you were in recruiting at the State Department, and you had to be damn sure you made the right call about the trustworthiness and character of the people you will hire for really sensitive positions, would it make sense to warn or coach these candidates about what not to do on Facebook?  Wouldn’t you want to know, if given a length of rope and access to a tall tree, if in fact, the candidate would indeed hang himself? Isn’t getting it right the most important thing? Editor's Note  -   Steve Boese is fondly known to many as the  HR Technology  blogger.

Does your application process REALLY need to be like this?

Let’s be honest; the average job application process is a mess and it cannot stay like this much longer. With ALL the best people being on Linkedin why would you even need a careersite or an ATS. Super Linkedin are going to save the world of recruitment AND tidy up all those messy application processes. Or maybe not. So what to do? The thing is, in most search results your career site is not doing that well. One day when SEO is taken seriously by career site designers and corporate recruiters they may, but until that day only the big…

Goodbye Mr Cover letter, Hello Mrs 1-Click apply

In the same way Amazon allows us to buy from multiple suppliers with 1-Click, job applications will in turn follow suit. “No way” you cry “Oh yes” say I. I know all about different application processes, screening questions, online assessments and of course personalising your application with a nice cover letter. I don’t for one suggest that personalisation isn’t important but if we take our friend Linkedin, unlike some people that have multiple CV’s (!) I don’t really think that many people have multiple Linkedin Profiles. I have no data to support this view and of course some people will…

Mobile Recruitment Websites – Keep it simple

Does your Job Board or Recruitment Agency website need a native iPhone, Android or BlackBerry application? More than likely the answer will be no. Save your money. You don’t need to spend upwards of $5k+ for a single native application. But what you do need is a mobile enabled website.

The Flat Fee Debate – follow up, live example & reposing of the question

After the debate the “flat fee” question caused last week (and thanks to all the people from across the spectrum who came and input) I just wanted to add a follow up post from some experiences of this week pertinent to that. We’ve built/are hosting an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for a client. It’s new to them – so there’ll be a period of learning that will need to spread across the company, and meanwhile various Managers and HR representatives will get caught between old practises and the new facility. So things won’t be perfect, but I found this activity particularly enlightening. The hiring HR Manager engaged a company who aren’t “… a recruitment agency…” but offer a “fixed fee recruitment” service. Now I appreciate where there wasn’t an ATS before then the application process would have been simpler, but let me take you through the candidate journey as I…
