LinkedIn Revamps Recruiter Tools in Their Custom iPhone App

Why they needed a custom iPhone app?

LinkedIn has revamped its recruiter tool in their Custom iPhone App, but why? This is an interesting question which was answered in the latest company’s ConnectIn recruiting summit. First of all, it is LinkedIn’s trademark to keep introduction features for job seekers and employers alike. We found Dan Shapero quoting “it’s pretty much a jungle out there”.  Shapero is the global vice president of talent solution and insights for LinkedIn. He emphasized the need of enhanced tools for recruiters and job seekers for better results. Shapero believes, the revamped recruiter’s tool in the iPhone app is the right step in the right direction.

As we all know that modern age is all about handy apps. You need a customized iPhone app to reach people, whether you are a startup company or a world’s largest professional social network, like LinkedIn. The revamped recruiter’s tool in the app is focussing three strategies which are as under:

New Recruiter Profile

 This part of the revamp is built around the concept of helping recruiters with more actions. These actions are meant to create a consumer product effect. The adjustments include increased numbers of call to action in the revamped recruiter tools. For example, sending a message and saving candidates to the clipboard for follow up.

Mobile

According to LinkedIn professionals, they are reaching their “mobile moment” due to the increased use of LinkedIn mobile app. LinkedIn has reported that 41% of its total visitors are reaching them using their customized iPhone app. This force LinkedIn to launch the recruiter’s tool on Android based devices as well.

Recommendations

The focus of LinkedIn has also been shifted a bit from outside to inside. The new proposed recruiter’s profile will focus on the talent promotion recommendations within side companies for internal promotions, across all departments. This feature has already been tested with a handful of companies and yielded a good result.

Conclusion

According to the new strategy proposed by LinkedIn pros, each part of the strategy is built while focusing modern day requirements for recruiting or job seeking process.
