Mobile Recruiting - Unleash the Power of the 3rd Screen Webinar

In the world of mass media, there is nothing that compares to mobile. 

Mobile has become the undisputed heavyweight in total usage and mainstream adoption. It is no longer just a phone; it's our lifeline to the world.  Rarely does it leave our side, and rarely is it shared - even with our spouse.  Mobile is our second shadow, it’s ready to serve, and it's here to stay.

“91% of the planet keep the mobile phone within arm's reach 24/7. Literally we take it to the bathroom with us and we literally sleep with the phone. As its our alarm clock, it is literally the last thing we look at before we go to sleep and again the first thing we see when we wake up.”   
- Morgan Stanley, 2007

Mobile’s influence is undeniable. GSM World and the CTIA recently confirmed that there are now 4 billion mobile phone subscriptions on the planet, vs. just 1 billion PC owners.  Mobile subscribers now dominate 60% of the population.  As we look to the future, GSM World predicts the number of total subscribers will hit 6 billion by 2013. 

In the U.S., we have already reached 262 million subscribers, contributing to over 75 billion text messages per month.  We see another trend occurring as 12% of U.S. households have already abandoned the fixed landlines and have moved to only using mobile phones. 

The use of SMS (text messaging) continues to remain the most widely used application in the world.  It is no longer just an application used primarily by Gen-Y, but it has become widely used among Gen-X, and even the baby-boomer population. Worldwide, there are 3 billion users of SMS text messaging vs. 1.3 billion email users, and 600 million IM users.  SMS clearly towers above email and IM in total usage, and if leveraged properly it can be just as powerful in helping to build and cultivate talent pipelines.
 
What is the mobile data really telling us?

It means that our world has changed and it’s not turning back. Sourcing candidates has become increasingly mobile, so has the need to use more targeted means of connecting and attracting qualified candidates. As such, there are clear advantages to leveraging mobile recruitment strategies to achieve pinpoint accuracy.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn how to leverage powerful mobile recruitment strategies as well as build and cultivate talent pipelines


• Discover the unique capabilities of the mobile mass media channel and the top 10 reasons why Mobile Marketing matters


• Find out how to unleash the power of the 3rd Screen by discussing three options for integrating Mobile into the recruitment process


• Quick reference (mobile) material will also be provided for all the participants.

IMPORTANT:

1. All paid live webinar registrants will be emailed the presenter's slides in PDF format.  However, much more is said and shown by the presenter than what's on the slides (explaining concepts and illustrating with examples, Q&A, going to live websites, etc.).  So having the DVD for reference later, as well as being able to show your colleagues (a live webinar login is only valid for one person) to insure full understanding of the presentation and wider adoption of best practices, is invaluable!  The DVD includes all audio and video (everything shown on presenter's screen).
   
   
2. If you think you may have a last-minute conflict that would prevent you from attending live, please realize that you may transfer your paid webinar login to one other person up to the start time of the webinar.  If you cannot or do not wish to transfer your login, getting the DVD recording insures you will always have the full information.  (And the DVD is only $50 more than the cost of the webinar itself – saving about $100 vs. buying the DVD alone afterwards!
   
   
3. Live webinar refunds are not available after purchase unless the presenter is unable to participate.
