As technology evolves, some companies are looking to change the way that workers apply for jobs. Companies like McDonald's, Macy's and General Motors are using software that allows people to apply for jobs on their smartphones, a move that they hope will open up positions to new applicants. Surveys show that few companies have mobile-friendly applications or career web sites. Software developers say that the advent of smartphones means that the way applications are structured needs to change to fit the way that people are using their devices.
