SEO for Jobs is the optimal complement to your applicant management system to publish your job ads directly and automatically on Google for Jobs.

The problem

In order for job ads to be listed on Google for Jobs, certain requirements must be met - the keyword here being: Structured Data. But even if the basic requirements are met, there are still many stumbling blocks to overcome in order to get an optimal result on Google for Jobs.

Examples of non-optimal results include:

  • Job ads are not up to date: filled jobs still findable, new jobs missing.

  • Logo is missing or not optimized for size

  • Important information is missing - e.g. address, type of employment

  • No or bad formatting of the job ad

  • Incorrect link to the website

  • Labeling of the"Apply for" button is not as desired

For an optimal result on Google for Jobs, extensive technical interventions in the applicant management system are usually necessary - and it is precisely this that is usually not possible or only possible at high cost if the system is purchased or operated by external service providers.
