Bring your site up to date All our most recent Version 5 and 6 sites have Google Structured Data to allow the jobs to be read by Google built in. After that it’s up to Google what it does with the jobs and whether it decides to feature them. All we can do is make the jobs available in the best shape we can – Google ‘decides’ whether to feature them. Older sites may be updated at fairly nominal cost price – ask the Support Team about this. Crystal ball time This change helps level the playing field somewhat about ‘being found’ and ranking above or below competitors. If everyone uses the schema, jobs start from the same place and other factors inevitably come into play – the things you should be doing anyway. Looking further ahead, do Reed’s listings go above yours if they have the same content (because they’re more ‘important’ / have more jobs)? And the big question – how long until Google start charging to promote jobs?  In the same way that you currently have organic and paid listings for regular sites …and the difference isn’t always obvious. ]]> Mon, 11 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://enterprise-demo.fxrecruiter.com/blog/what-does-google-for-jobs-mean-for-recruiters https://enterprise-demo.fxrecruiter.com/blog/mozs-seo-dinosaur-tactics-that-you-should-retire-a-great-read read the full article here ]]> Mon, 11 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://enterprise-demo.fxrecruiter.com/blog/mozs-seo-dinosaur-tactics-that-you-should-retire-a-great-read https://enterprise-demo.fxrecruiter.com/blog/one-key-tip-to-get-more-clicks-on-your-job-postings-include-salary-data Encourage your clients to include a salary guide, even if it is not set in stone for them just yet; a salary guide will go a long way to satisfying the curiosity of said high-quality candidates. Adverts with a salary guide will encourage more applications – and better ones too. A high-quality candidate who is out of reach, pay-wise, won’t have wasted their time on a conversation that ends when the salary question is brought up (which in turns leaves them with a bad impression for the future!). There are, of course, legitimate reasons why an employer might want to leave a salary guide out of a job description. Some employers believe that it cuts out salary-chasers by focusing the search on those who are explicitly interested in the job. Others believe it lessens the risk of tensions arising between existing employees and the incoming hire. These are valid concerns. But a job description is ultimately about getting the right type of candidate to apply. A salary guide encourages those who fit the pay grade and are more likely to perform at the level expected, whereas the words ‘DOE’ (Dependent on Experience) and ‘salary negotiable’ won’t work on such candidates. Not only that, but you should consider what other types of benefits the client can offer. Benefits, location, contract type (permanent, part-time, temp, interim), development and career progression opportunities — these are all essential ingredients to finding the right candidate. The more boxes of theirs you tick, the more of yours they are likely to tick. Our FXRecruiter platform can be hugely helpful in building a job description that job seekers will click on, by making it easy to configure a description to include all the relevant details.
