Great team. Sluggish website?
Your business can do more than your website shows applicants.
Get in touch — no strings attachedYour business can do more than your website shows applicants. You have a good team, fair pay, modern equipment, and work people can be proud of. But nobody looking for a new job sees any of that. Anyone who lands on your website might find a phone number, a PDF job ad from three years ago, and a contact form that doesn’t work on mobile. Then they go with the business next door that simply looks better.
The skilled-labor shortage is real, and good people have options. They check out employers the same way customers check out providers: online first, mostly on their phone. A modern website is therefore not an end in itself — it’s a recruitment tool. A dedicated careers page, real glimpses into the team and the business, an application that takes two minutes, and a quick response from you: that’s the difference between an application and someone clicking away.
I build your website individually, with no page builder, fast, responsive and low-barrier. Local fonts, no tracking cookies, GDPR-friendly. And you get one steady point of contact who understands who you’re looking for and how you want to come across as an employer.
Sound familiar?
-
No careers page. Open positions hide somewhere between your services and the legal notice, or aren’t there at all. Anyone wanting to work for you finds nothing that speaks to them, and bounces.
-
Applications only by mail or PDF. Print a résumé, write a cover letter, stuff it in an envelope and mail it — hardly anyone does that anymore. If people can’t apply on mobile, they don’t apply at all.
-
No glimpse into the business. No photos of the team, no faces, not a word about what a normal workday actually looks like. Applicants have to guess whether it’s a fit, and when in doubt, they decide against it.
-
Unusable on mobile. Tiny text, misaligned buttons, endless load times. Most people search for jobs on their phone, and that’s exactly where you lose the good candidates — before they’ve even read anything.
What your new website will do
-
A real careers page. One clear place for open positions, apprenticeships, and everything that makes you an employer worth joining. Applicants find what they’re looking for immediately, instead of clicking around.
-
Honest glimpses inside. Photos of the team, the business, and everyday work, plus a few honest words. That way applicants see what they’re signing up for — and reach out because it genuinely fits.
-
A two-minute application. A simple form that works on mobile. Name, contact, maybe an attachment, done. The lower the barrier, the more applications land with you.
-
Fast responses become possible. Inquiries reach you directly and clearly, so you can respond promptly. Anyone who gets a quick reply doesn’t move on to the next employer.
Frequently asked questions
What does a recruitment-focused website cost?
That depends on scope: is an added careers page on your existing website enough, or should the whole employer-facing presence be rebuilt? Number of positions, features like an application form, and existing imagery play a role too. Tell me what you need, and I’ll give you an honest, fixed offer before I start. No hidden items.
Wouldn’t a job posting on a portal be enough?
A portal brings reach, but everyone who looks at your ad then googles your business. If an outdated website or no careers page at all shows up, that expensive ad fizzles out. Your own website is where you show what it’s actually like to work for you, with no portal restrictions and no competitor listed right next to you. Both together work best: the portal brings people, your website convinces them.
Can you add a careers page to my existing website?
In many cases, yes. If your website is technically sound, a careers page with positions, insights and an application form can be added. If the site is outdated or unusable on mobile, a rebuild usually makes more sense. I’ll look at your current site and tell you honestly which path makes more sense.
How do I update positions when something changes?
We’ll set that up however fits you. Either you maintain positions yourself through a simple input area, or you send me the change and I make it happen. What matters is that filled positions disappear quickly and new ones go up fast, so your careers page always stays current.
What if I don’t have good photos of the team?
That’s solvable. Honest, well-shot photos from everyday work are often entirely enough — precisely because they feel real. If needed, we’ll discuss what you can photograph yourself or where professional photos are worth it. A few real photos beat purchased stock images where everyone can tell it’s not actually your team.
