SEO for recruitment agencies

SEO makes the pages your customers need easy for search engines to find and understand, and easy for people to act on once they arrive. For recruitment agencies, that means getting job listings, specialist sectors and vacancy submission for employers right, because candidates looking for work and employers hiring want to apply or submit a vacancy without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Candidates looking for work and employers hiring want to apply or submit a vacancy.

A recruitment agency website usually has to handle searchable job listings with applications, vacancy submissions from employers, client and candidate logins and job alerts.

Searchable job listings with applications: candidates expect to search and apply in a few steps.

Vacancy submissions from employers: employers need a quick way to brief you on a role.

Client and candidate logins: shortlists and timesheets are easier to manage in one place.

Job alerts: alerts bring candidates back when a matching role appears.

What to have ready

Access to Google Search Console and your Google Business Profile, if you have them.
