Build a recruitment website and prepare its essential content

Summary

Build a recruitment website with verified role descriptions, employee stories, current vacancies, application instructions, and a publishing review process.

Published

Publish the role, vacancy details, and application steps together

A recruitment site helps prospective applicants understand the work and working arrangements. Include concrete duties and vacancies alongside company photographs and introductions.

Recruiting and operational staff should review the draft together before publication. Building the site alone does not determine application numbers.

Gather content from recruiting and operational teams

Collect the role, duties, location, hours, compensation details, required experience, and application channel. Publish unresolved details after the responsible team decides them.

Ask employees about their actual tasks and working days. Distinguish personal experience from organisation-wide policies and check publication permission.

Connect role, vacancy, and application pages

For each role, connect the work description, vacancy details, and application steps. Name headings after the information beneath them.

A role section can contain subsections about a working day or training. W3C explains using heading levels to express content structure. (W3C WAI: Headings)

Check application destinations and vacancy closure

On a phone, read the vacancy and follow the application path. For an external recruiting system, check that the corresponding role is still accepting applications.

Record the vacancy owner and review date. After closure, update acceptance links and job lists so obsolete openings are clearly identified.

For application-channel details, see explaining recruitment application steps for practical examples.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Are employee interviews essential?

A: Use them when they provide concrete working details. Prepare role and vacancy information first.

Q: Will the site alone increase applications?

A: Applications also depend on the vacancy, discovery channels, and acceptance process. Review their records together.

Q: Does publishing include applicant management?

A: That depends on the method. Check applicant submission and management separately from content publishing.

Q: What happens to a closed vacancy page?

A: Mark it closed and revise application links. If retained as role information, remove wording implying an open vacancy.
