Covid-19 has brought new challenges for companies. A number of aspects have been disrupted, including hiring. Here is one hiring case study that we want to communicate based on our learning.

We see a number of posts on LinkedIn where people lost jobs due to the pandemic situation and are asking their network to help find one. Starting from a similar post, we also had our share of experience hiring Kadir Pathan. Here is his post on LinkedIn. Many such posts are also there on whatsapp groups.

The Hiring Phase

On the onset, his request looks good in terms of skills, reasoning that he was contractual and due to pandemic he lost his job. We were told that he did not get paid for 4 months as there was no fund for the project and he was finding it difficult to manage his expenses.

In the technical round, he failed; even though he showcased a number of skills in his profile and above LinkedIn post. It was clear he lacked skills which he claimed and listed.

Kadir Pathan used reference, follow ups, and based on multiple requests, he was allowed to join with a commitment from him that he will pick up quickly and deliver. This was a clear case of sympathetic hiring during the pandemic situation.

processed

Here is what happens with sympathetic hiring. You feel a candidate is honestly articulating his profile and situation by publishing a post on LinkedIn asking for help. He is further trying reference and solving his problem.

This is a positive way of looking at the candidate, his immediate needs and the pandemic situation where many lost their jobs. It will make you believe and get into a mode to help in whatever way you can.

Once on boarded,

Kadir Pathan could not perform. As per policy, enough support and time was given and he was asked to leave as literally he could not produce anything. His bad luck was that all resources were working from home.

So, we could not give him in person mentoring and attention. Remote help for him was also consuming team member time. So as per process he was asked to leave as there was no progress from his side.

One thing that needs to be stressed at this point is – if talent is there, no employer will get into PIP (Performance Improvement plan) as there is lot of effort and cost to hire right resource.

Why we are writing this learning is because this fellow went and put a bad review comment publicly, irony is many employees tried to help him due to his situation, first by hiring him , giving him time to learn despite showcasing his profile as experienced, remotely supported as much as team can during pandemic .

With this new break and opportunity, ideally the focus is to learn from colleagues, thank them for support and upgrade skills.  Kadir Pathan was jobless for 4 months. He got a break and did not take things positively.

Energy and effort should be towards learning and not blaming for our own shortcoming.

He or others in the same situation should have a positive frame of mind. World has people who want to help people who are in need. Here for us, Kadir Pathan set wrong precedence and such experience will stop employers with sympathetic hiring from helping people in need.

Employers in today’s world are trying to relax policies and processes to cater to such candidates. Who knows, a small help can make a big difference in people’s lives, while still maintaining a very professional approach.

If candidate does not perform, action needs to be taken. That part has to be professional as clients trust you with work/project and that cannot be experimental.

We tried to contact him multiple times,

asked him to visit us in person and share his grievance if any. He did say he will come to talk. But since then, did not pick up multiple calls and that give us a feeling that we will continue to chase him, asking him to remove the feedback which may give him a certain satisfaction.

But what Kadir Pathan is not realizing is that if he joins some other company and they know he has done such things in the past, and same can happen to them, there will be an element of doubt to hire him.

Also an employee who cannot raise issues during employment and vent their negativity in public domain shows their weakness to articulate, handle things professionally.

If you can call and get a job using reference and multiple follow up, same can be done to address any issues. This is a clear case of back stabbing trust and leaving a bunch of people with negative feeling thinking there is no way same people will cross each other again.

In the people industry, there will be differences. That is why India gives freedom to choose employer and employer has freedom to choose employee. We want everyone to have a positive and professional approach.

If you leave a trail of negative and false claims, that will haunt you more than anyone else. One person or multiple people attempting to defame will not work. God is there and let god judge. Whoever did wrong, will be punished.

Conclusion

Dating Apps around the globe are truly (and amusingly) transforming the way people make connections and find their perfect match in the real world.  These 24 best free online dating apps for Android and iOS described above have undoubtedly changed the dating scene of this generation in 2021.

app cost estimation

Many of these online dating apps offer free access and great value through unbelievable membership features to seek and find the right partner without breaking the bank. Hope you will like the list and try one those online dating apps.

The most pivotal fact around smartphones is that 2 billion people on earth are already using mobile devices which will soar to 4 billion by 2021. Of them, nearly 80% interact with mobile apps across various industry verticals for online shopping, on-demand service booking and in-app transactions.

With mobile apps providing the colossal potential for incredible business growth and customer engagement, it becomes momentous to build solid and substantial app development strategies for mobile app developers to achieve success

Being a business entrepreneur, you must hire a mobile app developer with perceptive and innovative strategies to create a powerful, competitive mobile app.

The reason you need a strong, carefully meditated strategy is that finding a little space on users’ mobile screen and capturing their attention is deeply challenging. Hence, developers must attempt to craft a mobile app that delivers terrific enhanced user experience.

The important strategies explained here could be the finest driving force of successful app for mobile app developers.

1) Platform Development

As mobile apps are quite different from websites, the process involves good level of complications including the decision as to which platform to choose for more business benefits.

Think whether Android or iOS will allow you to accomplish your goal or developing both will draw more crowd.

Since more than 60% mobile users interact with iOS and Android devices, these major platforms will offer more visibility to your app. Make sure you know the behavior and purchase preferences of your target audience while determining the platform of app development.

2) Target Audience

This is perhaps the best way to kick start your mobile app development journey, identifying actual users who will install your app. In fact, awareness on users adds precise directions and clarity in designing the detailed scope involved in the process.

Take some time off to scour the market and find out all about the target users, their country and interests, age groups and gender, platforms they prefer, etc.

This will also help you set the right goal and minimize your guess work, keeping the risks of limited usability to minimum.

For instance, ecommerce app will demand more illustrations whereas a social app should have interesting content and functions. After all, user satisfaction will be an ultimate key to long-term business success.

3) Native Apps vs. Hybrid Apps

Native apps are built for specific mobile OS individually in platform-specific language such as Swift for iOS and Java for Android.

Native apps bring out the best features in your mobile app since it uses latest technology of mobile devices and interacts directly with local device hardware environment (GPS, figure impression locking, camera) and software.

Hybrid apps on the other hand represent the combined form of native and web apps – a write once and deploy everywhere cross-platform system that enables apps to run on multiple OS (Android, iOS, Windows) and browsers (Chrome, Mozilla, Safari).

Built usually with web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Phone Gap, Titanium, jQuery Mobile, etc.), these cross-platform apps are easy to release among online app stores.

4) UI/UX Design for Enhanced Engagement

What is a mobile app without an intuitive, stunning and engaging user experience? UI/UX is very important as it is impossible to conceive a mobile app without detailed consideration on it.

After all much of the credit for mobile app’s success is enjoyed by UI/UX design perfection. Developers should know that UI stands for interface whereas UX represents entire experience with a mobile app.

What is most significant here is maintaining the delicate balance between simple-to-understand UI and uncomplicated UX.

Users mostly judge and like your app based on how comfortable and happy they feel interacting with your app’s interface in the first go.

UI/UX design is especially of massive value if it is an ecommerce, gaming or social app since it represents the feel users have for your app.

5) Back-end Architecture

Designing the back-end structure is a choice that involves heavy technical resources since what appears to users on the front-end of the mobile app is because of what goes on in the back-end process.

In many scenarios, APIs help connect with mobile devices without custom-build app back-end. You can also create a mobile app without a back-end support with only database controlling the app.

Since the need for backend system varies from case to case, developers should first assess the project requirements and focus on cost and time before making a decision.

6) Development Method & Guidelines

Mobile app development is favored by certain discipline and methods that guide and assist developers in achieving their goals within timeframe with minimum rework.

Usually, mobile app development method is determined by the client business information, but it is always beneficial to adopt agile method that might take a few iterations before you have the final product ready.

Even Waterfall method also drives results if requirements are clearly known at the outset. Remember that following the guideline is as important as following the unique approach that suits specific platform since single method doesn’t work for all sorts of projects.

7) Device Screen Size

A mobile application should interact with users as intuitively as it fits into the device screen. The design part of the mobile app involves trying all the variations to match diverse screen sizes, which might get somewhat hectic.

It also covers how the app looks and feels when used on respective devices. In general, most common screen resolutions to address are 1200X768, 1280 X 720 and 1920X1080. Certain apps support certain range of screen resolutions consistently but may feel better on other screen sizes.

8) Performance Analysis

Even though an app is equipped with all the features and functions, its performance must be monitored and analyzed as frequently as possible to keep its usability up. No user is going to appreciate it if they experience sudden crash and annoying downtime instances.

If that happens, frustrated users will not only leave unfavorable reviews but quit your app forever.

Hence, take reviewing the app performance as seriously as success from the moment the app is launched and don’t take anything granted even as the app is released to the marketplace.

Do have technical experts keep an eye on its network conditions, server management, bug detection, etc.

9) Information Security Management

While downloading the app, the customers want to make sure using its content is completely safe and won’t harm their data security.

Having the most sensitive user information exposed or hacked would be the most unwelcome disaster – which can terminally destroy your business reputation.

To save your app from being less recommended, you may prefer cloud-based solutions after consulting with cloud-versed tools providers who create a refined blend of their industry knowledge and business expertise. Your app development partner must be aware of all the data protection essentials.

10) Awareness on App Marketing

This is the phase where app development companies and business clients come together to harmoniously strategize everything about mobile app marketing.

Here market research done and insight gathered would keep you abreast in your marketing arena.

Make sure you have both iOS and Android experts to market the app in respective stores if you have both Android and iOS app developed.

From keywords and app store optimization to logo and media exposure, the app marketing has to be done with future goals in mind and should offer long-term boost.

Final Words

Before you ever go ahead and commence the development process, it is important for mobile app developers to take time to define the basis of strategies and what all objectives they aim to target.

What follows afterwards in terms of design and development endeavors should essentially be the extension of what you have already nailed in your pre-development strategy brief.

app cost estimation

Businesses that deeply explore all the aforementioned strategies would confront minimum troubles and realize that their strategic efforts focused on delivering enhanced user experience will pay off and drive mobile app successfully.

Finally, mobile app developers are set to achieve best possible results had they decided to switch to innovative thinking during the creation of strategies.

If you are a creative master, graphic storyteller or just want to use your brush to improve your design skills professionally, all you need a digital assistant. Like other lifestyle needs, mobile apps also help designers to bring out true aesthetics for the audience to appreciate.

Designers, artists or avid photographers can avail these pocket-size wonders that are nothing but brilliant mobile apps. They give you highly polished, technically sound and advanced tools to add elegance and craftsmanship to the existing photos in your devices.

Most of the people think that building an engaging app is the toughest part. But marketing it is just as tough. There are people who actively search for different mobile applications every single day. All you need to know and learn is how to be in the right place at the right time. And with our “10 Best Ways to Increase Your App Downloads” you are in safe hands.

Thinking I’m just exaggerating? I have numbers to support my claim.

Nearly 12% of active smartphone users search for interactive applications in Play Store every day. More than 50% of the users look for applications for every week.

Not to my surprise, Play Store witnesses about 6 million unique keywords every month. There are a lot of people (In fact, millions) who actively search for apps on a daily and weekly basis. You just need to ensure that they find you.

Now, here the trick is to ace your App Store Optimization (ASO) and ensure you implement the most effective ASO practices which win the algorithms and make your app a superstar in Play Store or App store.

But wait. What is App Store Optimization?

The process of optimizing mobile apps to accomplish a higher position in the Play Store & search results to top in the ranking charts is known as ASO. Since it is very much similar to Search engine optimization for web content, App Store Optimization is known as the SEO for mobile apps.

According to a study, App Store Optimization improved app downloads by nearly 1500% in less than a month.

Now, let’s dive into the pool of some effective tips to increase your app downloads.

#1. App Name & Keywords

A recent study reports that using keywords in your app title can increase your rankings by 10%.

Both App Store and Play Store’s search algorithm scan the application title for keywords when a user searches the app by using a particular keyword in either of the app markets.

Both the app store & play store gives equal importance to applications that have names and keywords in the title. So definitely, it’s a damn good idea to add a couple of keywords in your app title as the number one App Store Optimization practice.

You must also make sure you are not overloading your app title by just stuffing the keywords and making it look like a spam one. You have to maintain a good balance between branding and keywords.

#2. App Name Conventions

Keep your brand name clean and short and try to use URL-friendly characters in the app title. This way you can add your keywords to this short brand name. The app markets such as App Store (Apple) will be using your app title to create your app URL.

If possible, try to avoid special characters such as copyright symbols in your application title. Because those special characters will let iTunes to search your application’s numeric ID explore for more similar keywords instead of the app title.

#3. App Title Length

For Play Store (Google), the app title is restricted to 50 characters. Again, keep your title simple and short. The simpler your app title is, the easier it will be for your users to find it in the Play Store. If your app is already in the App Store (Apple), then maintain a consistent title.

In the App Store, the app title is restricted to 30 characters. I know, very few characters. But you need to make the best use of those 30 characters with the right keywords your app can rank higher in listings.

#4. App Subtitle

In the latest version of the iOS, users can also add app subtitle in the App Store. Right under the app title, you can add your app subtitle to a maximum of 30 characters. To increase your app downloads, you can include some keywords in this field as well so that they will be indexed in the App Store search.

#5. App Keywords & Description

For Google Play Store, you need to be extremely cautious with your app description because Google extracts keywords from your app description to be your application’s keywords. So, make sure you neatly incorporate keywords in the app description.

In other words, make sensible sentences instead of just dumping the keywords. Because the keywords in the first 2-3 lines of description carry more weight than the keywords in the rest of description.

Since App Store doesn’t pull app’s keywords from the description you can add a couple of keywords in the app description.

delayed cost estimations

#6. The First Couple of Lines of App Description

How many people will click on the “Read more” button if the first 2 lines of the app description fail to attract the user? Hardly 5%. So, we have to make sure to take the best leverage of the first 2 to 3 lines of the app description.

Don’t unnecessarily use space as it counts. Make it concise and eye-catching. Avoid noise words (A, the, etc.) and interrupted sentences.

Let your users know what makes your app innovative and why they would love it. Make your app’s values as a center point, not features.

#7. App Expanded Description

Whilst elaborating your app description focus on listing out all the important and unique features of the app. Don’t make it a paragraph, instead use bullet points so that your users will find it easy to read.

Also, mention your app’s social media networking links as users who like your app will follow you on social media as well.

Google Play Store lets you use emoji in your app descriptions. So, make good use of the emojis to make more attractive and different from what your competitors have mentioned.

#8. App Promotional Text

This field in App Store was introduced in the latest version of iOS and is available exclusively for iOS users only. You can add up to 170 characters in the promotional text. However, this field is not indexed for keywords in the App Store search.

#9. App Screenshots

A recent study conducted states that nearly 60 percent of smartphone users won’t even swipe past first 2 to 3 screenshots. In order to be effective, ensure that your screenshots are conveying the exact story that you wanted them to.

So, you better have the best in line for your first 2 screenshots, they should be compelling and attractive. Avoid screenshots that users definitely don’t want to see such as registration, welcome, etc.

#10. App Localization

Localizing your app to various languages at once can be a horrendous thing but the specific localization strategy provides you with a wider target audience to download your app.
