On a careers site, for example. Don’t have one yet? No worries—we’ll gladly explain why a careers site is essential for every organization.
Let’s start at the beginning. What exactly is a careers site? It’s essentially a landing page for potential candidates. Often, you integrate a careers site into your company website or create a separate “work with us” site. On a careers site, candidates can find job openings, employee stories (ambassadors), and information about the company culture. Applying is usually straightforward and can be done directly online.
Careers site based on a template
Sounds complicated? If you use a template-based careers site, implementation is as easy as applying for a job. The design is already done and ready to use. All you need to do is provide your requirements and, of course, upload the necessary information.
Curious about what a template-based careers site can do for you?
1. Recognizability and consistent brand image
The power of repetition—it might be your most important marketing tool. By consistently using the same branding everywhere, your target audience recognizes you more quickly. That’s why it’s advisable to build your careers site in your own brand style. This enhances your organization’s brand image.
2. Fast implementation
Designing and implementing your own careers site is no small feat. You need a designer to build the template, which requires expertise you often don’t have in-house. And as if that weren’t enough, you then have to populate the careers site with content. By choosing a template-based careers site, you get everything in one package. All you need to do is provide the desired information and job postings. It saves a lot of time—and internal explanations—within your organization.
3. UX design: optimized for user-friendliness
Building on the previous point, existing templates are often already designed for user-friendliness—that is, based on UX design principles. The same goes for Recrout’s careers site.
In plain language, this means the website is easy and pleasant to use. Think of a logical layout, buttons in the right places, clear and readable text, and simple navigation. All designed to help visitors quickly find what they’re looking for—your job openings!
4. Cost savings
We already mentioned that a careers site based on an existing template saves you a lot of time compared to building one entirely in-house. But what about the costs? With a template-based careers site, you don’t need a web designer or developer. You can use that money for other marketing activities, potentially saving you up to ten thousand euros or more per year!
5. Improved discoverability
Most templates are already optimized for search engines and mobile devices. This makes your job postings more discoverable, without having to spend extra time or money on SEO optimization. Convenient, right?
