Recruitment is probably one of the most competitive industries in the UK. There are approximately 10,000 recruitment companies operating in the UK and setting themselves apart from their competition is a high priority for many of them.

To help compete with larger and more established players, recruiters can take advantage of the one area where their size or history will have little impact. A large number of job seekers use the Internet for their initial searches and an effective website can greatly increase contact with relevant, qualified candidates, as well as clients.

With so many alternative job sites, a recruiter’s offering needs to be carefully designed to deliver what clients and candidates are looking for. Clients expect a professional, attractive website with clear information on the company and the services it offers. Candidates want a quick and easy means of finding jobs and registering their details.

As with any website, the key is getting visitors to your site from the search engines and then leading them to the parts of the site that are relevant to them. It is important to understand what clients and candidates expect from a site and what keywords they will use in search engines. A recruitment site should offer different information for clients and candidates and also for different sectors or job types.
