Recruitment via Mobile in 2012 – Educate and Everything Everywhere have produced the UK’s 2 biggest ever surveys of mobile recruitment activity and attitudes.
In order to find out more about the amount of recruitment activity that people are engaging in on their mobile phones Educate initiated 2 very significant surveys of Orange and T-Mobile users using their mobile messaging platform, ‘Shots’*. The first survey took place in April 2012 and focused on people of all ages in the UK and recruitment of all types. The results are on the pdf below entitled Mobile Survey. The document details the results of what is the biggest survey of mobile recruitment activity ever seen in the UK.
The second survey focused specifically on the graduate recruitment market and looked into not only activity on mobile but also what sorts of functionality that graduates want to see organisations incorporate into their mobile careers offering.

*In 2011 Everything Everywhere launched ‘Shots’, a permission based messaging service that enables organisations to engage and interact directly with Orange and T-mobile users. Currently 4 million users have opted in to be a part of the Shots audience in the UK. Educate have been exclusively appointed to represent Everything Everywhere and the ‘Shots’ product in both the education and recruitment sectors. ‘Shots’ is now firmly established as a favourite channel for universities who are looking to recruit students.
UK Mobile
Every university and college in the UK should be making mobile campaigns part of their student recruitment plans. Educate is delighted to be working in partnership with Orange - one of the world’s largest mobile networks to enable our clients to recruit through highly targeted mobile campaigns.
Our partnership with Orange enables our education and recruitment clients to run targeted mobile display advertising campaigns on OrangeWorld or ‘Push’ messaging campaigns using Orange Shots aimed at recruiting students of all types.
If you need a mobile (or WAP) site or you want to develop an App for your current or potential students we can help you do that too.
Orange Shots
In 2010 Orange launched a push messaging product ‘Orange Shots’.
Orange Shots enables universities, colleges and commercial recruiters to send direct messages to their target audience at key times and builds on the exciting work done by Educate in 2009 using Blyk’s direct messaging technology.
In 2011 the Orange Shots audience has grown to 450,000 people in the UK. They are 15-31 year olds and we have profiled them to establish who is interested in undergraduate studies, postgraduate studies or getting their first job.
The ‘Push’ messaging campaigns can be SMS or MMS and can be targeted by age, location, academic stage and interests.We’ve seen huge response levels to these Shots campaigns and they have been used to promote Open Days, recruit UG and PG students and recruit Graduate staff.

Due to the interactive nature of the platform it achieves unrivalled response rates (as high as 16.5%) targeting options include geo-fencing, age, location, ACORN geo-demographic targeting, pre-selected data pools, handset and most importantly by Business contract.
