Job Searching On Your Phone

Job seekers are increasingly using their phones to search for jobs, but they are less likely to apply for jobs on their smartphone than on a computer. Snagajob, America's largest hourly site for job seekers and employers, saw its users increase their mobile job searching by 95% over the past year.

However, when it comes to applying, they go back to their computer. Applicants submit three times as many applications from their computer than they do from their mobile device. Which makes sense, because even though companies are increasingly making their career sites mobile friendly it still can be a challenge to gather and input all the data you need to apply. It's easier, in many cases, to go back to your computer to start the application process.

Here's an overview of the survey results for the 12-month period ranging from April 2012 to March 2013:

  • Mobile job searching is up 95%.
  • Job seekers submitted 4.3% fewer applications.
  • Job seekers under the age of 24 only saw a 2.1% decline in applications.
  • Job seekers are three times more likely to submit an application on a PC than on a mobile device.
