What Do the Best Staffing Websites Do Differently? Citation: What Do the Best Staffing Websites Do Differently?, Haley Marketing, 2021-10-11, passage 3, https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/what-do-the-best-staffing-websites-do-differently Source: https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/what-do-the-best-staffing-websites-do-differently they want to go (e.g., “Find Work” or “Need to Hire?”). - One-click access. Strive for one-click access for visitors, so they can quickly navigate from wherever they are to wherever they need to go. - Smart links. Build links to relevant, related content to drive people back to key conversion pages on your site (blog posts are ideal for creating internal links). Internal links are great for SEO; and they also keep visitors engaged on your site longer. The longer they’re there, the greater your chances of converting them! - Easy contact. Give people an option to interact with you no matter when they visit your site – via forms, live chat, or through an automated chatbot. Make sure your company’s contact information is prominent on each page, either in the header or footer. Strategy 4: Use a Modern Career Portal In today’s economy, your staffing firm can’t afford to lose a single candidate. And if your firm is like most, you spend a ton on recruitment advertising to drive them to your site. Are you doing everything you can to engage and convert potential applicants – or is your career portal leaking talent? Here are some important questions to ask yourself about your current career portal: - Searching and filtering. Is it easy for job seekers to find jobs that are right for them – or does your search feature serve irrelevant or too few results? - Stress-free application. Does your application encourage or deter applicants? The majority of talent loss occurs when a job seeker is directed to a lengthy application that requires sensitive information (such as a Social Security number). To make matters worse, up to 90% of job seekers will abandon a mobile application that’s too cumbersome. ## 3. Is Your Content GENUINELY USEFUL…or Just SEO-Optimized? Citation: Is Your Content GENUINELY USEFUL…or Just SEO-Optimized?, James Moul, 2024-10-24, passage 1, https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/is-your-content-genuinely-useful Source: https://www.haleymarketing.com/resources/ask-haley-blog/is-your-content-genuinely-useful With every Google update, the rules of SEO shift, and the August 2024 Google Core Update was no exception. (More on that in a moment.) It’s clear now more than ever: focusing solely on SEO isn’t enough. Google is prioritizing content that provides real value. Is your staffing firm poised to adapt? The Impact of the August 2024 Google Core Update This latest update changed how job seekers’ queries are handled, giving preference to branded, precise searches. Job boards and companies that relied heavily on SEO-optimized landing pages are finding that those tactics don’t deliver the same results anymore. What does this mean for you? Simply put, your content needs to do more than rank. It needs to genuinely serve your audience. SEO vs. Useful Content: Why You Need Both Yes, SEO helps your content get found. But if it doesn’t provide value, people won’t engage with it. Staffing firms must shift their focus toward creating content that speaks directly to job seekers and employers. This means answering questions, offering insights, and providing actionable solutions.

Citation: SMART IDEAS #34: The competition said WHAT?, David Searns, 2024-06-08, passage 2, https://newsletter.haleymarketing.com/newsletter.smpl?arg=deliverable_display&d=55111&did=55111&aud=company Source: https://newsletter.haleymarketing.com/newsletter.smpl?arg=deliverable_display&d=55111&did=55111&aud=company competitor, we: - Sell Career Portal software with poor SEO. - Provide cookie-cutter solutions. - Nickel and dime clients. Yikes, that doesn't sound good! Let’s take a look… Career Portal SEO With our career portal software, we are not a WordPress plugin; we’re a software-as-a-service product that puts the career portal on a subdomain of your website (think jobs.abcstaffing.com rather than abcstaffing.com/jobs). In the olden days of SEO, this was not a best practice. But according to SEMrush, HubSpot, and even Google, this is no longer true (and has not been true for years). Subdomains get all the SEO benefits of subpages and are actually ideal for related content (like jobs!). Plus, if you consider that our software creates a landing page for every job, adds Google for Jobs schema mark-up to the jobs (that’s how we get your jobs on Google), and now includes Recruiter pages, Location pages, and Job Category pages, no Career Portal product offers more to help with SEO. Cookie-Cutter Marketing Surprise, this is actually our superpower! At Haley Marketing, our mission is to make world-class marketing fast, easy, and affordable. That’s why we offer products and price points for all types of staffing and recruiting firms. For smaller or very cost-conscious firms, we offer “off-the-shelf” marketing products, like Door Openers and HaleyMail, that provide a huge bang for a very modest investment. For larger firms, we customize everything from strategy and messaging to digital marketing and branded content for a truly bespoke solution. Regardless of the company size or the product we sell, everything we do is custom-tailored to each of our clients and their unique brands. ## 5.
