Why Recruiters Need to be Thinking About Mobile Website Speed

Why Recruiters Need to be Thinking About Mobile Website Speed Worldwide the talk is about the 4th Industrial Revolution, and the extensive use of mobile phones and devices to conduct our business and daily activities bears testimony to its existence. When looking around, we find it unthinkable that time existed without the internet or mobile devices. Barack Obama with his Blackberry, Donald Trump and Elon Musk and their tweets illustrate the general use of mobile devices by world leaders and business people use to convey their opinions and promote or do business. There is however a prerequisite and that is the need for smarter multichannel solutions and fast mobile website speed to effectively communicate with customers, employees and when doing B2B transactions. Why mobile website speed is important when recruiting online? It is essential for companies to ensure that websites are optimized for mobile use due to the ever-increasing popularity of using mobile devices to conduct online-business, this extends to prospective employees looking for job opportunities. The following facts speak volumes of why mobile website speed is important to employers doing online recruiting/recruitment of new employees: Mobile devices are used in more than 52% of all website visits. More than 58% of all Google searches are done with a mobile device. In more than 30% of all online transactions, mobile phones are used. Recruiting new employees on mobile devices opens up opportunities to conduct cost-effective interviews doing a mobile video call instead of in-person interviews. This saves time and allows for interviews with people globally at a fraction of the cost. The only requirement is a high-speed mobile-optimized website that downloads fast on any mobile device. Why mobile readiness is an essential part of B2B B2B, the acronym for business-to-business commerce when products or services are transacted between companies. It generally refers to e-commerce transactions which have exponentially increased with the use of mobile to transact. This led to an ever increasing number of transactions being conducted on different online platforms, opened up new markets and is an essential element of the survival of modern B2B commerce. Research shows that mobiles are increasingly used to conduct B2B business making it essential that online platforms are mobile ready to maximize the opportunities for B2B. Slow loading pages on mobile only ensure that potential customers migrate to competitors with mobile-ready websites. How customer satisfaction ratings affect who will apply for a job at your company Digital era consumers make extensively use of reviews, posted on a plethora of online sites specializing in rating the level of customer services from companies. These are posted on social media, websites (Yell ratings) along with Google search that will reveal the ratings. Companies also have website pages where customers can rate their experience of doing business with them. Prospective employees wakened up to this and use customer ratings as a tool to evaluate employers before responding to any vacancy at the company. If the company received positive ratings the chances of having the right people apply for a job will increase, while negative ratings play a large role in putting people off. Text Local created a data set to successfully compare mobile readiness and customer satisfaction ratings of various business sectors, across locations, to get an idea of which industries were the strongest. The relationship between HR and customer-satisfaction ratings One of the most critical factors to ensure the success and survival of a company over the long term is the quality of their customer satisfaction ratings. Gone are the days that customer service was the responsibility of the marketing or sales department, research shows that getting good customer ratings increasingly depends more on the quality of the HR department and its activities. The HR department of a company plays a major role in ensuring a customer-friendly environment within an organization. This is the result of their recruiting/recruitment, training, evaluation and coaching activities to ensure that employees develop positive relationships with clients, which in turn leads to excellent satisfaction ratings directly influencing the company’s revenue. Research showed that a 5% improvement in employee attitudes, the customer rating increased with almost 2 % which led to revenue increasing with almost 1%, this clearly indicates how the relationship between HR and customer ratings influence the revenue of the company.

Use The F-Word - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Use The F-Word - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career It is a fact of life: sooner or later someone will wrong you. They may say something unkind. They may personally injure you or a loved one. Or they may damage your property. Whatever the case, eventually someone will wrong you. While it is a given that eventually someone will wrong you, what is not is how you manifest this wrong in your mind. Whether the damage is irreparable or not, you have a choice. You can choose to hang onto that offense in your mind or you can choose to move on. The F-Word holds tremendous benefits Forgiveness is a powerful thing and provides tremendous benefits in both how you see the world and in how the world sees you. Forgiveness is the mental process of ceasing to feel resentment or anger toward another for a perceived offense. It empowers you to move on and it allows you to be seen as strong and courageous. It takes incredible energy to hold on to the pent-up resentment and anger of a grudge, as these feelings toward another consumes valuable thought and creativity and yet offering no value in return. Forgiving others allows you to divert this energy to more productive endeavors. Additionally, studies show that people who forgive are happier and healthier than those who hold resentments. Researchers theorize that this is because the bitterness of a grudge is like a mental poison â€" one that hurts no one but the person harboring the resentment. This mental poison serves to deplete strength and impair the immune system. The F-Word attracts others Forgiveness, however, also has the benefit of bolstering your personal brand. Consider the person who declares, “I will never forgive them for what they did!” Whatever the underlying transgression, how do you react around someone like this? You likely tense up, instantly becoming uneasy interacting with them. While you might not be the target of their disdain, you cannot help but question to yourself, “What do I need to do to avoid being subject to this eternal contempt?” In the end, you tend to simply avoid such an individual. The F-Word builds your brand Knowing this, you should make the “F-word” an important part of growing your network and building your brand. Develop the attitudes and habits that allow you to let go of those times when others offend you. Forgive their transgressions. Whatever they did, the damage is done. You cannot change that by holding on to anger and resentment. This is not to say that you need to forget. For example, if someone in business fails to pay you, the concept of forgiveness does not suggest that you must continue to do business with them.

Work at Home Call Center Jobs Consider the Pros and Cons - CareerAlley

Work at Home Call Center Jobs Consider the Pros and Cons - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. Numerous work at home opportunities exist these days thanks to the Internet and other advances in technology. One such opportunity is that of home-based call center agent (also called a virtual call center representative). While there are many benefits to handling telephone calls from the comfort of your home, its important to evaluate the pros and cons of the position before seeking out a job. The last thing you want to do is invest time and energy into an opportunity that isnt a good fit for your situation. In this brief guide, well look at both sides of home-based call center positions and explain what aspects of the job need your consideration. Cons of being a home-based call center rep You have to be 100% free from distractions while youre working Unlike some work at home jobs, being a call center agent requires your full attention. Youre typically on the phone the entire duration of your shift, leaving no time to care for your kids, answer the door, or deal with other situations that arise around the house. You cant easily rely on your peers for help and support One downside of call center work in general is that it is often very repetitive. In a traditional call center environment, being amongst fellow employees helps to ease this problem and make the work more enjoyable. You can also look to your peers for quick help when youre uncertain of what to do. When youre working at home, youre all on your own. There are obviously ways to chat supervisors and others for assistance, but you lose the ability to easily build relationships and get quick feedback. Not all call center jobs are created equal Call centers that provide work at home opportunities come in all shapes and sizes. For this reason, its important that you seek out a position that matches your competencies. Handling callers or situations that you arent comfortable with can make the job a nightmare. If you arent good at sales, dont take on outbound or sales oriented work. If you dont feel comfortable calling people who are in debt, dont work for a debt collection service. This may seem obvious, but often the idea of handling calls from home overshadows the actual nature of the work. Okay, now lets talk about the positive aspects. Pros of being a home-based call center rep Very flexible schedules Many call centers operate 24/7/365, so its typically pretty easy to set a schedule that meets your needs. Whenever youre available, its likely there are calls that need answered, especially if youre working for a large call center services provider with high call volume. Training available Though you may need to go onsite initially to receive training, call centers are often entry level positions that provide you all the training you need to do the job. People comfortable with customer service and talking on the phone are obviously ahead of the pack when it comes to working as an at home agent, but the reality is that almost anyone can be trained to work as a virtual call center representative. Rewarding work While its true that not all call center jobs are created equal and that some are more rewarding than others, many allow you to help people on a daily basis. When you pick up the phone and are able to help someone solve a problem, theres no better feeling. Many jobs cant provide this benefit, which makes call center work especially unique. Whether working at home as a call center agent is a good fit for you or not, I hope this list has provided you with some helpful information. If you have worked in an at-home call center position before and feel something is missing from this list, feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear your insight.
