The hard facts
Candidate experience: the invisible deal-breaker
As a careers page agency with a focus on accessibility and digital inclusion, we know: the potential here is enormous. The right combination of strategy, design and technology transforms your careers portal from a box-ticking obligation into a genuine talent magnet.
Candidate experience doesn’t begin at the interview – it starts on your careers page. According to a survey, 78% of applicants believe the overall candidate experience is a good indicator of how much a company values its employees. In the race for top talent, it becomes clear quickly that a standard solution won’t cut it. Fail to convince from minute zero and you’ve already lost – before the first contact.
From practice
These career portals speak for themselves: when strategy, design and technology work in harmony, career portals are built that convert:
What top employers (and we) do right
Accessible user experience
A large proportion of applicants drop off when the process becomes too complicated. Clear navigation, streamlined forms and frictionless user flows keep candidates engaged. Accessibility and digital inclusion are must-haves.
Employer Branding Content
Authentic insights rather than marketing phrases: real employee stories, concrete career paths and honest glimpses into daily working life – more convincing than any glossy video.
Performance
The longer the loading time, the lower the conversion. Through technical optimisation at server and code level, we achieve loading times under 2 seconds.
SEO & visibility
Thoughtful Google for Jobs integration and SEO optimisation bring your job pages to where candidates actually search. Because the best careers page is worthless if no one finds it.
Mobile recruiting: job search from anywhere
70% of applicants use their smartphone to search for jobs. Most careers pages are responsive – but are they truly optimised for mobile use?
The difference is in the detail:
Fast loading times even on weak networks
Touch-optimised, accessible application forms
Compact yet complete job information
One-click application without switching platforms
Companies that truly think mobile-first for their applicant portal reach candidates where they actually search – between meetings, on the train, on the sofa in the evening.
