Recruitment agency website design

Every recruitment website we create is built with responsive web design in mind, covering the four main pillars: 

• Fluid layouts
• Responsive units
• Flexible images
• Media queries

If your recruitment firm is looking to upgrade to a new website, this technology is a must-have to ensure outstanding service for your clients and candidates. 

While businesses might use computers to navigate your site and post job offers, it’s likely the majority of job seekers will be using their mobiles to visit multiple websites. 

If your web design means it doesn’t display properly or is slow to load and engage, they will quickly move on to other recruitment websites.

Many brands have become more aware than ever about the importance of diversity and inclusion, and the recruitment industry is at the forefront of this movement.

When it comes to a recruitment website design service, it is crucial that the technology reflects and supports a wide range of capabilities, from tailored search to swift uploading of content.

Our experienced website design team will ensure any screen readers and assistive technology work as they should at every stage of the navigation process, enabling all visitors to your recruitment agency website to consume all your business content.

All our sites ensure that every word of text, including image-related alt text, and the colours on each recruitment web page accommodate all vision capabilities and are compatible with the screen readers used by website visitors.

Some recruitment agency firms choose a web design that features clearly defined areas for candidates, recruiters and clients.

Of course our team will design your company recruitment website to your detailed specifications, but separating the job search from professional recruiters and clients with vacancies to fill can make it easier for both sets of users to quickly find what they are looking for.

Candidates want to engage with a simple design, and use websites that are tolerant of spelling mistakes and typos but still serve accurate, relevant results quickly and efficiently.

The website should also include a streamlined form-filling service that allows them to apply for more than one job at a time.

Your recruitment website should also allow them to apply for jobs without an account, upload a document or video CV, manage it and their profile, create job alerts and securely download useful resources.

On the clients and recruiters side, both will want to be able to easily manage their employer pages on the site, so a clean website design is a must, from the home page right the way through.

They will also want to easily search the site for the right talent and assess candidate activity during the recruitment process anonymously and securely.

The simple design of the recruitment website should enable a company to search CVs by keywords, sector, locations, skills, salary and any other criteria, preview video CVs without downloading, and be able to send alerts or texts to potential candidates.

Whether you specialise in particular fields or not, your recruitment website design should be a magnet for clients from all over the country and the globe.

That means your recruitment website has to support lots of integrations with a range of third party technologies and tools:

• Uploading CVs from Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox
• LinkedIn, Indeed, Facebook login or application
• Job board/applicant tracking software, such as Broadbean and Logic Melon

It’s worth thinking about including an integrated salary tool at the recruitment website design stage.

As well as providing job seekers visiting your website with highly relevant information to their search, it helps forge trust between recruitment websites and the visitors you’re trying to engage.

Most brands understand the importance of having calls to action on websites. They nudge visitors further into the sales funnel, encouraging them to do something, whether that’s fill in a form or make a purchase.

For recruitment agencies, they’re a crucial part of the user experience. Candidates should be clearly directed to the page where they can input their CV or work experience details.

Clients should know exactly where to update their information on the website and locate the latest CV uploads.

Our experienced design team can create multiple CTAs for every kind of visitor to your recruitment website, ensuring the whole process of navigating pages for clients and candidates is extremely efficient and user friendly.

Another key part of great recruitment website design is the inclusion of social proof. It can include:

• Customer testimonials
• Case studies
• Celebrity endorsements
• Online reviews
• Social media shares

This sort of content has become invaluable in recent years, as it bolsters the reputation of any professional brand, potentially helping your recruitment agency stay ahead of competing firms.

Information is everything and in the recruitment industry, it’s key to identifying potential and actual talent. That’s why KPI measurement is so important in web design.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are an indispensable way for a recruitment firm to determine metrics such as the time it takes to fill a post, the number of candidates per vacancy and unfinished applications.

Google Analytics integration or another KPI measurement tool, can provide great insights into your recruitment agency website performance, identifying potential pain points and enhancing the user experience.
