TRENDS Mobile Recruiting and... Location, Location, Location? Joel Cheesman August 13, 2009 RecruitingTrends.com When it comes to recruiting potential employees via mobile, there is one thing to remember – location, location, location. A lot of information is pointing to the fact that local mobile advertising will soon be a big trend, with local mobile search at the top of the list. If you’re using mobile methods to attract job candidates - whether through text messaging campaigns or setting up a mobile-friendly Web site - you should know that focusing on local can benefit your company and job seekers. Using local mobile advertising or local mobile search can allow a job seeker to pinpoint companies that are hiring and see open positions within their direct market. Employers who are looking to reach job candidates will benefit from being able to cater to the location of the user, which also makes the experience more pleasant and more efficient. "Going Mobile: The Mobile Local Media Opportunity," a report from The Kelsey Group, found that local mobile ad revenue will increase from $160 million last year to $3.1 billion by 2013. On top of that, mobile search will reach $2.3 billion. During 2008, local searches made up 27.8 percent of all searches, but that number is expected to reach 35.1 percent by 2013. The report further states that about 15 percent of all Apple iPhone applications are local.
The "U.S. Local Media Annual Forecast (2008-2013)," another report by The Kelsey Group, predicts the interactive share of local ad spending will go from 9 percent in 2008 to 22.2 percent in 2013. The local interactive segment will increase from $14 billion in 2008 to $32.1 billion in 2013, while the traditional segment will decrease from $141.3 billion in 2008 to $112.4 billion in 2013. For an example of just how powerful local advertising can be, take a look at three big companies who are targeting consumers with location-aware ad campaigns through a new social network. Centrl partnered with Navteq, a provider of digital map data for location-based services and vehicle navigation, to enable its location-based social network with Navteq LocationPoint, a mobile location-based advertising service. LaQuinta Inn, Chili's and Jack in the Box have taken advantage of the new network, which allows advertisers to reach and engage customers on their handsets when and where they are making shopping and purchasing decisions. The service, which is available on the Web, iPhone, Android and BlackBerry, enables users to access discount offers, keep track of and communicate with friends, as well as access restaurant reviews, local events, real estate listings and nearby gas stations. The program displays merchant locations on Navteq maps and advertises merchant services and special offers with graphical promotions, mobile coupons and calls-to-action. Social features allow users to login from social networks, send virtual gifts and free text messages while accessing maps with various content. The location-based social network allows users to connect with nearby places and people that match their interests on smartphones and social networking sites.
