Five Tips for Building an Awesome Career Page

A career page should showcase what it's like to work at this specific workplace and include information about the company in general, possible career paths within the organization, its culture, and values. The career page is intended to guide someone on whether it's an interesting workplace in relation to their own values and visions.

1. USE VIDEO CONTENT

Use film – A video says more than 1,000 words and conveys a sense of the workplace and colleagues in a much more authentic way than text.

Employer Branding – To strengthen your company’s employer brand, employer branding videos are a powerful tool. Attract top talent, showcase company culture, and impress both candidates and clients. Higher specializes in creating these videos, which give you a competitive edge and the opportunity to build an exceptional team. Invest in your future with employer branding videos and let Higher be your partner. As a Higher client, you get favorable prices on film production.

Studies show that we remember 80% of moving images and only 20% of static ones.

Video works with the "Law of Attraction" – you attract long-term candidates.

2. ACTIVATE "SHOW INTEREST"

Allow candidates who are interested in your company to express their interest, even when there are no open positions or suitable roles available, by using the spontaneous application feature.

By using skills & video questions, you get a solid foundation and a clear picture of the candidates. Using tags, you can easily sort and filter through the applicants.

Tip – Review the candidates in the "show interest" section before posting a new job ad. Many of our clients have found their top candidates there, saving a significant amount of time in the recruitment process.

QR codes simplify the recruitment process by allowing candidates to quickly scan and apply, converting more candidates, saving time, and creating a smoother experience for both recruiters and applicants.

3. SHOW A GENUINE PICTURE OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU

Of course, you want to present your best side to attract as many applicants as possible (which is totally right!), but for a long-term employment relationship, it's important that candidates get an honest picture of what it’s like to work with you.

Tip – Get inspiration and check out some of our filmed job ads.

The videos create a credible and attractive image of the company, which increases the chances of finding the right candidate match.

With over 10 years of experience, we are experts at creating filmed job ads that stand out. These work particularly well on social media, grabbing attention and reaching the 70% of passive candidates who are not actively visiting job boards. Include video content in your social media ads to increase visibility and engage potential candidates.

4. LIST THE BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH YOU

List the benefits of working at your company. Why should the candidate choose you as an employer over someone else?

Examples:

  • Benefits
  • Development opportunities
  • Flexible working hours
  • Hybrid/remote opportunities
  • Travel
  • Compensation for inconvenient working hours
  • Company culture
  • The office
  • Competency-based recruitment

5. SHOW THE TEAM

According to Linkedins statistics candidates trust a company’s employees three times more than the company itself when it comes to providing credible information about what it’s like to work there.

So, showcase the team and let your own stars be ambassadors to sell how fantastic it is to work with you!
