Website Redesign for recruitment agencies

A website redesign rebuilds an existing site around what customers need now, while protecting the search visibility and enquiries the old site already earns. 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does Website Redesign involve for a recruitment agency?

A website redesign rebuilds an existing site around what customers need now, while protecting the search visibility and enquiries the old site already earns. For a recruitment agency, the work centres on job listings, specialist sectors and vacancy submission for employers.

Will a redesign hurt our Google rankings?

It can if old URLs are not redirected. Google's site move guidance is to map old URLs to new ones and use permanent redirects, so a redirect plan is a standard part of the redesign.[1]

Can we keep our current platform?

Yes, if it still suits you. A redesign can keep the platform or move to a new one; we recommend based on how you need to manage the site.
