But most of the human resources staff still not equipped with technical knowledge and skills to handle IT based recruitment and candidates are very reluctant to open up in the interview process.

    According to Smartrecruiters, (2021) There are two main benefits to just using mobile recruiting. To start with, it has sharing capabilities and hiring teams to manage the process from anywhere they have access to a mobile device. Rather than tying these responsibilities to the office, scheduling interviews, providing internal comments, communicating with prospects, and more may all be done remotely. Second, it enables the hiring team to communicate with prospects remotely and via mobile devices, something applicants are increasingly dependent on thank you for the great detail sharing.

    With the pandemic, most of the companies had to hold their hiring process since they were working according to the traditional way of recruitment. Although there are disadvantages in the mobile friendly recruitment, we should look at the bigger picture of it, as it helps reduce a lot of paper work as well as unnecessary time-consuming tasks. Therefore, this new way of recruitment which is mobile friendly recruitment indeed is a very important innovation, which help organisations to continue with the recruitment process. A very nice article.
