Recruitment website Totaljobs.com has launched a mobile-optimised site, enabling users to search over 90,000 live job ads while out and about. The site also offers the ability to auto-populate certain fields, in order to minimise the amount of user input required to undertake key tasks. Jobseekers can use the site to apply for jobs on their mobile by sending a pre-loaded CV and covering letter to specific jobs whilst on the move.

“Market research shows that mobile internet users will overtake PC internet users in the next four years (source: Morgan Stanley, Internet Trends, April 2010), and with additional research (from KPBC) outlining that smartphone and tablet shipments are overtaking PCs, it’s important for us to develop an offering to suit the changing needs of our jobseeker population,” says Totaljobs.com senior marketing manager, Caterina Masso. “Traffic to totaljobs.com from mobile devices has quadrupled in the last year, further confirming the trend.”

Adding mobile access is part of a wider development of products and services across parent company Totaljobs Group. The technology is also being rolled out on to its other websites caterer.com, careerstructure.com, cwjobs.co.uk, retailchoice.com, and salestarget.co.uk.

Totaljobs.com is one of the UKs leading jobs boards, attracting over 3.6m jobseekers every month on the hunt for one of 90,000 live job ads the site carries at any one time. The site generates over 1.9m job applications each month.
