The New Mobile Workplace [Infographic]

Everybody knows that mobile use has absolutely exploded. But how has it exactly impacted the professional workplace? HireVue, a leader in the digital, live interviewing space, recently studied mobile trends in the workplace and came up with this fancy infographic.

Some of the most interesting stats? 91% of mobile workers use a smartphone for work and most now think that the traditional office is entirely unnecessary to be productive. Because of this trend of using smartphones for work, email traffic is soaring: mobile email traffic increased 36% last year alone! It’s also not just the workers thinking they are being productive: three quarters of organizations reported increased productivity from their deployments of mobile applications.

Is that enough data for you to start thinking about introducing mobile recruitment efforts into your hiring process? Mobile seems to be much more than a trend – it’s more like an all encompassing transformation of the way we work.
