The emergence of the technical capability that allows the direct “instant” application for jobs from mobile phones will soon become mainstream.  Many a startups will continue their development of a variety of recruiting-focused mobile phone apps.

Companies in the process of allocating separate budget for such market intelligence reports and benchmarking reports.

3  Video interviewing steadily grows in acceptance –Live video interviews such as Skype interviews has now proven its effectiveness, so its use will continue to expand until it becomes the standard practice. Most of the startups heavily depend on such interviews. This gives an edge over phone interview on online collaboration world.
