The apps, Recruiter Mobile and Mobile Work With Us, are aimed specifically at recruiters and employers. Mobile Work With Us lets employers stick job openings at the top of employees' profiles and Recruiter Mobile is designed to help recruiters interact more easily with job seekers. Recruiters "have a hard time interacting with you when they're away from their desks, which is frustrating for everyone," LinkedIn's senior director of product Parker Barille wrote in a blog post. "But thanks to Recruiter Mobile, you can now interact with recruiters instantaneously wherever they are." As far as Mobile Work With Us, LinkedIn said, "Since the most popular thing to do on LinkedIn is viewing member profiles and people love working with people they know, Work With Us is a powerful way to turn your employees into brand ambassadors."
