New mobile technologies provide the key to efficient remote working

12/11/2008 10:44:00

It is getting harder to do your daily tasks during "normal" working hours. As people today generally work longer or more flexible hours, having round the clock access to your recruitment system is becoming essential. Have you ever returned to your desk to find out that you have missed the window of opportunity to contact someone?

It certainly helps to be able to access your recruitment system remotely using your laptop or PC… but what if you are away from home or can’t get access to a computer… That’s where your mobile phone, Blackberry or iPhone for example provides the key to efficient remote working.

Allowing authorised users to securely access live information from your recruitment software including actual candidate CVs whenever they want and wherever they happen to be, further promotes mobility and the coordination of activities. Especially as your same mobile phone can also be used to log your conversation straight into your recruitment system and set up any interviews you have arranged. Consultants can continue working on shortlists and managers can check management information or review candidates on key requirements via their mobile phone. Security is also increased as there is no need to carry confidential information around with you.

IT savvy candidates are increasingly using their mobile phones to search for jobs and interact with companies so providing special mobile pages for them is becoming increasingly popular.

Technology plays an integral part in this evolving mobile marketplace and has been addressed by eploy® through the continual development of their specialist web based service. Adopting the established web-based recruitment system eploy® will open up new opportunities, allow you to provide more flexible working options for your own staff and lower your existing hardware and recruitment software costs.
