Guernsey recruitment agency Situations Recruitment has now launched a new mobile website, increasing the accessibility of job listings to candidates on the move.
Those seeking both temporary and permanent jobs can now research and apply for vacancies quickly and easily from their mobile devices; the aim is to increase the speed and convenience of the recruitment process by providing information in an accessible manner regardless of a users device.
The growth of mobile internet usage across the Situations website has been clear to see and was demonstrated by clear analytical trends; with roughly a third of all users visiting the website via a mobile or tablet device. This was key to Situations justifying the allocation of additional resources to this area.
Situations recently made other additions to the interactive features of their website; such as providing a salary calculator that allows candidates to calculate both gross and net income, social security and tax contributions. The salary calculator included in the mobile version of the website enables candidates or any other interested user to obtain a snapshot of their earnings composition with ease.
The mobile site is a natural progression from the original website and will satisfy the needs of candidates who are constantly on the move or regularly checking for new job listings.
Accessibility of key information was paramount and was the core motive for the themes development. The mobile website excludes many areas of information that are less likely to be of interest to those on the move or in a rush.
Mobile sites need to take on particular characteristics which differ to conventional websites, making them far more user-friendly and effective. With this in mind, the Situations mobile website has been specifically designed to engage with candidates, with an easy to browse and conventional mobile layout that maximises usability.
Melissa Campbell, Director of Situations Recruitment commented that early reaction to the mobile website was extremely positive. One candidate commented that:
“I did note that you guys have upgraded your website for mobile phone web browsing? Its great! Much easier for me to run through the positions nice & quickly.”
