Abstract:
This paper presents a user-centered approach to identify user requirements for smartphone-based job applications. Initial user requirements were derived from a questionnaire within a smartphone-affine user group. The survey findings were then used to generate low- and high-fidelity prototypes of a mobile app supporting job applications. The prototypes were tested to collect user feedback and to improve their functionality and usability. As a result, some key recommendations for the implementation of smartphone-supported job application processes can be presented at the end of this paper.
