Having a careers page is just as important as a team or “About Us” page. With a careers page, you can put vital information about how your company operates. This is particularly important to attract younger generations, like Millennials and Gen Z. Reports show that Gen Z ranks company value as the second most crucial deciding factor when evaluating an employer. Benefits and company culture attract other generations, so don’t overlook that, either. With all this in mind, here’s what to put on your careers page:
Another driving factor in whether or not someone will apply for a job is how easy it is for them. If you install a plugin or widget that allows users to submit their resumes right on your site, you should see more applicants come through. For example, you can download JazzHr, encode it on your careers page, showcase every open position, and allow applications right then and there. To further increase the number of applications, consider these guidelines when writing job descriptions:
Your blog can be another effective recruiting tool. For instance, it could be off-putting if you only have one person writing for your blog. Try and have multiple employees from different departments contribute to your content marketing. They can share their specific expertise in blogs they write themselves, or you can have your marketing team write Q&As featuring different team members. Whatever you do, try and show your applicants that you value everyone’s opinion within your company.
When done effectively, your website can boost your hiring practices and get better applicants in the door (virtual or not). Be sure to pay special attention to your careers page, blog, and About Us or team page. This way, you’ll put your best foot forward as people job hunt online.
