Career springboard: How to turn your career page into a magnet for talent
Does this sound familiar? You scroll through the job ads on the company website and think to yourself: "Boring, dull, run-of-the-mill..." Sound familiar? Then you're like many other job seekers and potential talents. But a well-designed career page can be so much more! It's your digital flagship and the first calling card for applicants. You can use it to attract and inspire talents and ultimately win them over for your company.
But how do you turn an average career page into a real talent magnet? We'll reveal the five most important ingredients for a compelling career page that will flood your inbox with applicants.
With these five ingredients, your career page will become a talent magnet!
- 1. Clear focus and appealing design
Say goodbye to pages of text and pixelated stock photos! Your career page should be clearly structured, visually appealing, and, above all, user-friendly.
Focus on what really interests applicants:
- Your company: What makes you unique? Why should someone definitely work for you?
- Your job openings: What positions are available? What are the tasks and challenges?
- Your corporate culture: What is everyday working life like at your company? What benefits do you offer?
Use meaningful images and videos to bring your message to life.
- 2. Authentic insights and honest communication
Avoid superficial chatter and show the people behind the scenes. Authentic insights into everyday work and honest communication about the corporate culture create trust and are much more attractive to applicants.
For example, use employee portraits, testimonials, or short video clips to make your corporate culture tangible.
- 3. Mobile optimization and easy application
Nowadays, people apply for jobs anywhere and anytime. So make sure your career page is optimized for all devices and offers a user-friendly application experience.
Long forms and cumbersome application processes deter talent. Keep the application process as simple as possible and offer various ways to apply (e.g., online form, email, mail).
- 4. Highlight career opportunities and development prospects
Most people want to develop professionally and master new challenges. Show potential talent what career opportunities and development prospects they have with you.
What training and continuing education programs do you offer? Are there internal promotion opportunities?
- 5. Call to action and contact options
Tell your visitors exactly what they should do next. Do you want to receive more applications? Then place clearly visible call-to-action buttons that lead directly to the application form or contact page.
Also, make sure your contact information is clear and visible.
Bonus tip: Use social media and job portals to promote your career page.
