LinkedIn rolled out a pair of new mobile recruiting tools on Wednesday, building out the company's mobile presence to accommodate the 33% of users who visit the site using smartphones.
LinkedIn announced Recruiter Mobile at the company's Talent Connect conference in Las Vegas. The app brings all of the features offered to job recruiters on the desktop version of the site to the mobile device. Recruiters can track updates on job openings and also get feedback from hiring managers on potential candidates while using their smartphone.

The app also allows recruiters to send InMail messages, call potential candidates and even take notes during that call within the app.
LinkedIn also released "Mobile Work With Us," a new feature for the existing mobile app that will post a company's job openings at the top of its employees' profiles. That way when mobile users click to view a friend's or colleague's profile, relevant job openings with his or her company will appear at the top of the screen. On the company's blog post, LinkedIn refers to this feature as "one of the best ways to reach passive candidates."
LinkedIn has been working to spruce up its mobile offering to make job hunting and applying simpler over the phone. It released an updated version of its iOS app earlier this month for iOS 7, and has added features like endorsements to its native mobile apps, too.
The new LinkedIn recruiter app is available in the App Store for iOS users, and non-iPhone users can download it from LinkedIn's web browser, according to the blog post.
