SEO for recruiters delivered by experts
Matching top talent with the companies that need roles filled requires speed and accuracy; this is any recruiter’s bread and butter. The competition is fierce, and it takes tenacity to get in front of the right people; for many recruiters, search marketing lets them down.
By using the principles of SEO, recruiters can maximise their digital visibility, and be found by candidates and employers alike. Time and effort spent on the terms being used to find your roles and services, detailed, genuinely useful content, and ticks in every technical box could transform your recruitment company’s websites.
At 427, we have experience of putting recruitment companies front and centre of relevant internet searches, leapfrogging competitors for those coveted top positions in search results.

Why is recruitment company SEO important?
Attract more quality candidates organically
As a recruiter, you’ll live and die by the quality of your applicants – and the numbers you can get hold of. Good SEO means job postings, career pages, and niche role content appears in search results, when candidates are actively searching. All this without relying on paid ads!
Build brand authority
When your agency’s content is consistently found (from advice and salary guides to thought leadership), you will start to be seen as an authority in your field by both users, and search engines. Being a trusted voice in the industry can improve your rankings – and your reputation.
Outrank competitors, and reduce dependency on job boards
With strong SEO, your own website can compete with the big names like Indeed and even LinkedIn, which gives you far more control over the experience candidates and employers have with your agency.

A thorough consultation

Yes, nosing around to see how competing recruitment companies are currently positioned in the SERPs gives us a good indication of the work we need to do; this is a crucial part of our audit.
This is a big question, and although we hate to say it depends—it depends! So many factors are at play, including the current performance of your site in the rankings, your goals, your budget, and the standard of your competitors, amongst other things.
Ideally, we’ll start to see improvements around the 3 month mark, with bigger gains making themselves known after 12 months.
