*According to [Jobvite](https://www.jobvite.com/), despite 43% of job seekers using mobile in their job search, 59% of recruiters currently invest nothing in mobile career sites.*

*SAY WHAT? 59% of recruiters in this survey invest zero dollars?*

*Maybe you’ve been putting it off because you’ve heard that apps are expensive. You’re in luck because you don’t need an app! You need a responsive mobile site!*

Here at TextUs.Biz we couldn't agree more. Leveraging mobile is vital to the success of almost all businesses. Another interesting page from the same [Jobvite](https://www.jobvite.com/) survey is the increase investment in mobile to engage candidates.

By adding SMS 2.0 into the mix recruiters can make that mobile investment really work for them. Shoot out a text message and add an SMS Powered link to your new mobile friendly site and get that job posting right in the palm of their hand! A text message has a 99% read rate and nearly 40% response rate.
