Why is building an attractive careers page so important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your careers page is usually the first contact your applicants will have with your company.  This is where they will make their first impressions about your employer brand and we all know first impressions matter<\/strong>! Your career page visitors will be analyzing your company culture and values and overall workplace environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses that follow these tips can increase their applicant conversion rates by 94%. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you create a great careers page that attracts potential applicants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you understand the importance of creating an attractive careers page, let\u2019s see what type of information should be included on this page to convert great talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- Convince your candidates that they NEED to be a part of your company! <\/em><\/strong>\ud83d\udca1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

• Promote your workplace culture:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  This is the time to showcase your company\u2019s values, story, mission, purpose, vision and more. In other words, inspire your future employees and excite them about your company\u2019s past, present and future!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Give page visitors an insider glance:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Showcase your team\u2019s day-to-day life! Add employee quotes and headshots, videos, pictures of teams, workspaces and more.  Be creative, candidates love to envision what it\u2019d be like to work for your company!<\/strong> Don\u2019t forget to add a video tour of the office and real<\/strong> pictures of your employees. Forget the stock images! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Don\u2019t forget your \u2018out-of-the-box\u2019 benefits <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Offering great benefits is an essential requisite to secure a successful hire in today\u2019s competitive landscape. However, your \u2018out-of-the-box\u2019 benefits are the ones that make the real difference to your candidates. These may include: having a pet friendly office, home office stipend for employees, customized career development and more. Promote what makes your company different from the rest.  Give candidates enough arguments to choose your company over your competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2- Create a simple and engaging  candidate experience!<\/em><\/strong>\ud83d\udca1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      If you use a recruitment platform or Applicant Tracking System, like Plooral, it\u2019s important to make sure your system is integrated seamlessly to your careers page so you\u2019re not redirecting candidates all over the internet. Make sure all your displayed job board positions are also redirected to one single place, this avoids confusion amongst applicants.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s important to make the job search interactive, by adding a search bar, drop down filters or keyword search. You can even keep it simple and organize your positions by department or location. Also, keep in mind your candidate may be looking at your careers page through their cell phones, so keep your web pages responsive to mobile.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      When thinking about your applicant\u2019s experience, having a responsive support or help system should be a big priority! Invest in chatbots, help articles and other tools to answer questions your applicants might have along the way. If you work with a recruiting platform like Plooral, they should be able to provide their own support services to help all of your applicants, that way you don\u2019t have to worry about it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
