The flexible application options
SEO for Jobs offers you as a company, in addition to the classic link to your own website, another highly efficient application option: Activate the integrated quick application (Quick Apply) to keep the hurdles for candidates as low as possible and to achieve the best possible reach for your company.
The application options at a glance
Forwarding to the company website (recommendation)
Quick application
Every company has different requirements, opportunities and capacities. To help you choose the best application procedure for your vacancy, we have summarized and listed all the advantages and special features of each option for you below.
Forwarding to the company website
With this application option, the potential candidate is redirected to your company website via a link you have provided, where the job offer can be called up again, or there is also the option of being redirected directly to an application form.
The advantages
The job offer can be explained in detail once again
You can design your application process yourself or guide applicants through your existing application process
Applicants can get more information about your company
The website gets more views, which can lead to a higher ranking on Google
We recommend redirecting to a company's respective website, as this gives you as an employer another opportunity to present the job on offer in detail. Furthermore, you can draw attention to other job offers, if available, and thus have the chance of a higher number of applicants.
You also have the opportunity to guide applicants through the existing application process on your own website. Another advantage of applying on your own website is that you can include tools such as images or videos in your job ad, perhaps already giving candidates a first insight into your company and the job described.
Also, when designing the layout of your job ad, this gives you yet another opportunity to incorporate your company's personal touch, such as colors or font. Since the job offers on Google all have an identical appearance, this is a good opportunity to stand out from other companies.
Quick application
The quick application is an easy way for candidates to respond to your job advertisement. If you do not have your own website that can be accessed by candidates, SEO for Jobs will redirect potential candidates to a page we have pre-designed, where once again your job offer will be highlighted and candidates can apply.
The advantages
User-friendly
No large expenditure of time for you and the applicants
Higher number of applicants due to less effort
A quick application offers you as a company the chance to "get to know" the candidates in their short applications in just a few moments. This allows you as a company to quickly decide if the candidate is a good fit for you and if you would like to get to know them better, or if they don't fit your desired profile, without having to spend a lot of time. The candidate's application is forwarded to the email you used to register with SEO for Jobs.
Summary of the different application options
SEO for Jobs therefore offers you two different ways to place your job advertisement, each of which has its own advantages and, where applicable, disadvantages.
You decide which is the most suitable application option for your company and your job advertisement depending on your requirements and make the best possible selection.
If your aim is to create the greatest possible reach and number of applicants, SEO for Jobs recommends forwarding applicants to your own company website. This gives you the freedom to personalize your job advertisement once again, accompany the application process and increase the attention on your own website.
If you do not have your own mobile-optimized application form, Quick Apply is the ideal choice for your company. It offers candidates an uncomplicated application process that is directly integrated into Google. This allows you to make the most of the platform's reach and makes it as easy as possible for interested talent to make initial contact with you.
