Transform boring vacancies into enticing pages
Are you tired of those soporific job pages, too? Employees have plenty of choice these days, so companies need to do their best to stand out with enticing work-at-home websites. On this page, we discuss tips from Daniëlle van Haaften - van Dusschoten, owner of Recroot, who developed an appealing work-at-home concept on Plate's multisite structure.
So, why is such a dazzling work-at-home website so important, and what are the ingredients for the perfect job page? It's all about mixing catchy text, speaking quotes, flashy visuals, photos and videos. That's how to create a job page that really rocks! A flexible CMSis your best friend in this regard, as it allows you to freely create great pages that entice visitors and present your business as THE place-to-be.
Why a career website?
A separate career website is crucial to successful talent recruitment. It creates a clear platform for all your recruiting activities and ensures that applicants see content that is fully tailored to their needs. Moreover, it improves the findability of your job postings in search engines and helps build a strong employer brand. In addition, sharing authentic stories positively impacts the engagement and pride of your current employees.
Navigation
We'll start with navigation. Because you are posting jobs on a specific work-by website and there is no other (corporate) company information on it, you can use the entire menu bar to navigate visitors as well and quickly as possible. Below you can see some images and below them the accompanying explanation.
As soon as you enter the homepage, you will immediately see a button that says "View Jobs. If you click this, you will get an overview of the vacancies. Next, you click on a vacancy. This job detail page is the most important page of all, since traffic often comes in here directly from an advertisement, for example. On this page you can see the most important information, such as the location of the job, the salary and the number of hours, right at the top.
After seeing this information, are you interested? Then the big "enticing" begins. As soon as you scroll down, a 'secondary' menu appears (which remains continuously visible at the top) to quickly navigate through the information. Of course, a large 'apply' button is also visible. On the left side, the recruiter's contact information remains, in case you have any questions.
See how well thought out the structure and navigation is? Everything is designed to convert the right people quickly.
Entice with content
Too much text is boring right? We will keep this section short because we are going to show you how to visually shape the content of a job posting with video, photo, visualizations, quotes and more. This suddenly makes the job posting much more tangible and attractive.
