NAS takes Search Engine Optimization and Marketing for Recruitment Mobile - Job Search on Mobile Devices Increasing

Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 1, 2009 – Your next job applicant may find your employment opportunity by phone, say the Search Engine Marketing Specialists at NAS Interactive. Studies show an increase in the number of searches from job seekers using their mobile devices. Out of all cell phone users, on an average day, 58% of adults use their devices, including PDAs, for at least one non-voice data application, such as text, email, photos, maps or directions, or completing a job application.

“The demographics for iPhone users are very compelling,” said Kevin Hawkins, NAS Interactive Strategist. “We see a marked increase in traffic from mobile devices in industries such as Banking, Technology and Healthcare, where nearly 22.4 million U.S. mobile users are using their devices to go on the Web.

Today, despite the global economic downturn, the demand for mobile broadband is on the rise. Mobile experts indicate that there will be more than 1 billion mobile broadband users by 2013 and our clients need to be ‘mobile ready.’”

Hawkins and members of NAS Smart Clicks Center, the firm’s Search Engine Marketing team, are already preparing for the next recruitment trend, studying and developing optimized mobile-ready websites and targeted campaigns designed to extend the reach of text and image campaigns to mobile devices with full HTML Internet browsers, such as the T-Mobile G1 and Apple iPhone.

“This new option will allow our clients to display their Web pages and search engine ads specifically on these devices; deliver mobile-specific calls to action and reach their audience when they're on the go; and get separate performance reporting so they can more effectively reach target audiences with the right message at the right time, ” said Hawkins.

When combined with a comprehensive measurement tool like Total Source Tracker, NAS can identify page traffic and search engine campaigns that successfully target mobile users by measuring how many individuals apply for jobs while using a mobile device.
