A PROJECT management recruitment firm with offices in Yorkshire has launched a new mobile version of its website for job seekers.

The move by Navartis Ltd comes in response to the growing trend of accessing services and information on job hunting via mobile phone and smart devices.

The new mobile website gives job seekers in the UK immediate and free access to employment opportunities throughout the country and abroad. Using a clever GPS tracking system, it can locate individuals and show the full range of jobs available within local proximity or the area searched.

Recent statistics show that 86% of jobseekers who have a smartphone use it to search for job opportunities while 65% say they will search for available positions and 47% say they will apply for these positions via their mobile phones.

However, fewer than 50% of job sites are optimised for mobile devices.

Navartis director Jim Sloan said: “Our new advances in technology will allow candidates to find real-time information on job opportunities worldwide at the click of a button, ensuring that applications can be made immediately and therefore increasing job prospects for those tech savvy candidates, making job hunting via pages and pages of newspapers a thing of the past”
