More than 70% of people use mobile devices to search for jobs. And while smartphone use can be a touchy issue with some potential downsides, there’s no denying the value that this wave of technology has brought into our lives for connecting us with friends, family and the workplace.

So, what does this mean for organizations seeking new talent? The reality is, today’s top-tier recruiters are leveraging mobile, and especially text-based solutions, to reach the in-demand candidates faster than the competition. Let’s take a look at why that matters and how it can get you in front of the right candidates at the right time.

According to a recent survey of more than 11,000 active and passive job seekers, the definition of success has changed.

No longer are we tied to one company that will take care of us in our retirement or guarantees us a salary increase for being loyal.

Today, modern workers rely on themselves to provide for their futures and with that comes something that might sound irresponsible to those who came before them, but they want to be happy.

Nexxt asked these thousands of job seekers how they define a career and what they are looking to get out of their current or next job.

So as a recruiter these things are good to know.
