Emojis in Business! How Job seekers and Recruiters Creatively Use Emoji Through Recruitment Processes

According to Adobe's survey, 61% of respondents use emojis at work, and 74% feel that emojis make a positive impression. When it comes to likability and credibility, 78% and 63%, respectively, feel emojis have a positive impact in the workplace.

When it comes to implementation, people found that it's ok to use emojis with people you already know, like your coworker or your manager, and it's not ok with people who don't know you at all.
