Michael Marlatt and the bold new world of mobile recruitment

I’ve been exchanging emails/twitter with Michael Marlatt of Cloud Recruiting fame. Michael generously sent me his latest presentation to share with readers of my blog (Download it here. Warning big file!)

Michael is a big believer in the usefulness of mobile communication tools for recruiting talent. In his presentation, Michael paints a clear picture of why mobile matters, and why it has to be part of any talent recruitment strategy.

Using SMS or other forms of mobile communication for recruitment is in its infancy in Australia, even though we have one of the highest mobile penetration rate in the world.

Michael mentioned that an opportunity to speak in Australia might present itself next year. Watch this space.
