Editor's Notes
- #4: The goal of your career site should be to let candidates easily find jobs, learn more about your company and convince them why they should come work for you.
- #5: Todays examples, Ill be showing these in more detail later in session.
- #6: If you have only a one page career site its time to branch out.
- #7: Employers should be branding their own urls under the main company domain such as jobs.gartner.com
- #8: Better get mobile. 40-50% of your traffic is probably mobile.
- #9: Use real images of your current workforce.
- #10: Dont post your jobs as PDF files. Google and other search engines cant index jobs posted as PDF (youd be surprised how often this happens)
