Monster gets candidates moving with new mobile site

Monster Mobile targets growing number of candidates using mobile devices for their job search

Monster.co.uk has launched a version of its new mobile website, designed for the growing number of candidates who use mobile devices to search and apply for jobs.

Recent research by Monster found almost half of candidates (48 per cent) use their mobile or tablet to research jobs and employers online, while around a third (30 per cent) have applied for jobs on their mobile device.

The new mobile-optimised website - provides a clear and simple user interface for candidates to search for jobs, upload and manage their CVs, save job searches and apply for roles directly from their mobile browser.

The site is integrated with Career Ad Network®, Monster’s job advertising service, which targets active and passive job seekers with relevant job opportunities, wherever they spend time online.

It also features easy-to-use menus to navigate between actions, so candidates can upload their CVs directly from cloud services Dropbox and Google Drive and apply for jobs with a single-click.

Sinead Bunting, Marketing Director, Monster UK & Ireland, said:

“People are increasingly living their lives through smartphones and tablets, whether for work or recreation, and there’s no reason why job searching should be confined to the desktop. Around half of today’s candidates are already searching and applying for jobs on the move - and we expect this to grow - so it’s important we support users with a website that’s easy to navigate on mobile browsers, and which provides the same powerful functionality available on the main Monster.co.uk website.

“It’s also a fantastic tool for recruiters, as they not only get access to a wider range of candidates but the simplicity and ease of applying on the move can only improve the candidate’s perception of the recruiter.

“While we’ve had fantastic feedback from our native mobile app, it’s important to remember that not everyone is app-centric when it comes to mobile, and many prefer to browse and visit websites. With our new mobile site, we can now provide the same great tools to mobile users, whatever their preference.”
