People do not hang out on job boards and career sites. This is one major reason that jobs posted on these career sites are not seen by the talent which recruiters and companies are trying to reach.
Did you know nearly 70% of candidates never go to job boards to search for jobs and almost 65% never update their profile on career sites? This leads to dead and inactive job postings on job boards with very few to no results to the job postings.
If you asking where to find talent, the answer is the whole web. This is why we built Recroup, where companies can reach talent where they hangout. At Recroup, we convert traditional job postings into banner ads. Those ads are shown all over the web targeted by interests, keywords, location etc. With Ad campaign companies can reach passive talent and convert them into prospects. Recruiters pay every time someone clicks on their ad.
Now recruiters can stop posting jobs and start promoting them.
This document provides three case studies in the form of almost portfolios for fictional web design projects. The first case study is for a city centre gastro restaurant that implemented an online ordering system using a WordPress plugin to allow for takeaway orders during the COVID lockdown, resulting in increased delivery orders, social media followers, and saving the business. The second case study is for a luxury interior design firm that underwent a data-driven website redesign, including A/B testing and user interviews, which quadrupled conversions. The third case study is for a vintage furniture upcycler who transitioned from selling on Etsy to having their own website, resulting in doubled sales and growth of their social media presence and blog.
