Mobile web

• Mobile Web can offer a rich user experience to a wide range of users, although not as accessible as SMS there is still massive penetration

• Mobile web has advanced to a level to which users may struggle to tell the difference between that and an application

• Mobile websites can be optimised for any web enabled handsets which allows for a wide reach of targeted information

• All inclusive data bundles from network operators have made Mobile Web more accessible

• A mobile website can be the destination from a SMS campaign where a user can engage more fully with an appropriately branded digital offering

Page 19: Abacus mobile

Mobile applications

• So far 10 billion Apple applications have been downloaded

• There are 400,000 different applications available on the Apple iTunes Store

• Android Market with over 150,000 applications

• Nokia Ovi Store which had over 1 million downloads of Nokia Maps in a week

Proposed SolutionTotaljobsMonsterJobsiteFunctionality

Comparative analysis of iPhone apps

Page 27: Abacus mobile

Monster – Monster .Mobi site lacks useful functionality, i.e. no advanced search – Jobsite .Mobi is superior in this case

Monster does allow users to apply for jobs from the site and we generally found the user journey to be a better experience than Jobsite .Mobi

iPhone comparison (available exclusively on iPhone, not Android or Blackberry or Windows)

Monster – makes use of Location Aware tool and includes useful content on career advice. overall delivery is poor and ‘apply’ functionality is misleading

Totaljobs – makes use of Location Aware tool. ‘Apply’ functionality is misleading, and overall the

delivery is very poor – the app seems lazy

Jobsite – easy enough to use, however the app is lacking in functionality, iPhone features, content.

Hays Recruitment has launched an iPhone (only) app allowing job seekers to search for opportunities on the go

Michael Page International has invested in a .Mobi site in order to increase engagement with job hunters on the go, and make

their services accessible to candidates that live in areas with low broadband penetration
