Built for employers and candidates

A recruitment site has two audiences on the same pages. Employers need to trust you quickly, understand your sectors and get in touch. Candidates need to find relevant roles and apply in a couple of minutes. The site has to do both without confusing either. See what a recruitment agency website should include.

  • For employers Sector and service pages that show you know the market, case studies, and simple enquiry and vacancy forms.
  • For candidates Live jobs filtered by sector, location and type, an application form on every job, CV upload and job alerts. See recruitment websites with a job board.

ATS integration

With Full integration, your website connects to your ATS through its API. Post a job in Bullhorn and it appears on your site. A candidate applies, and their record is created in your ATS with the CV attached, ready for whatever workflow you've set up. Nobody copies CVs by hand. See connecting Bullhorn to your website.

I connect to Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder and Mercury xRM, syndicate jobs to CV-Library and Indeed, and connect most other systems with an API. It's the same work as my API integration service, applied to recruitment. You can also check new clients automatically with the Companies House API.

Why not a recruitment platform?

Platforms like Volcanic work well when your needs match their template. When you need a particular ATS connection, your own candidate journey or a design that fits a premium brand, a custom WordPress build is more flexible, cheaper over time and yours to keep. See WordPress vs Volcanic and the best recruitment website platforms.

Which package

  • Starter, from £799 For a new or small agency that needs to look established quickly. Five well-written pages covering who you are, the sectors you recruit for and how you work, an employer enquiry form and a CV upload that lands in your inbox. You can add pages yourself later. The first 3 months of the care plan are included.
  • Professional, from £1,499 For agencies that want candidates finding jobs on their own site, not just on the job boards. A job board you run from WordPress, where you post and close roles in a couple of clicks, filters by sector, location and job type, an application form with CV upload on every job, six sector pages, and Google Analytics and Search Console set up.
  • Full integration, from £2,499 For agencies running Bullhorn or Vincere who are tired of retyping. Jobs flow from your ATS to the site, candidates are created in the ATS when they apply with the CV attached, and employer enquiries are saved as contacts. It includes a custom design with three rounds of changes.

Getting your jobs on Google

Most candidates start their search on Google, and Google shows job listings in its own panel at the top of the results. To appear there, each job page needs to be marked up in the format Google reads, with the title, location, salary and closing date in the right places. Every job board I build does this as standard, so your live roles can show up in Google's job results as well as on your site. It's the single biggest difference between a job board that brings in applications and one that only gets visited by people you've already sent there.

Sector and location pages do the same job for the agency itself. A page for "healthcare recruitment in Manchester" or "engineering jobs in Lancashire" gives employers and candidates something specific to find. See SEO for recruitment websites.

CVs and data protection

A recruitment site collects personal data on day one, so it's built with that in mind. CVs are sent securely and not left sitting in a public folder. Application forms say clearly what you'll do with the data and link to your privacy notice. If you use an ATS, the candidate record goes straight there, so CVs aren't copied into inboxes and spreadsheets. If you don't, applications can be deleted automatically after a period you choose. I'll set it up the way your data protection policy says, and I'm happy to work to your existing policy.

How it works

  1. Brief and quote. Tell me what you need by WhatsApp, text, email or the form. You get a quote and scope within 24 hours, with the ATS work included in it.
  2. Mock design. I build a homepage in your branding so you can see it before you pay.
  3. Build and integrate. WordPress build with your integrations, which you can review at any stage.
  4. Launch and handover. It goes live when you're happy, and you own everything.

Guides

Questions

Do I need an ATS?

No. Starter and Professional work without one, with CVs and enquiries arriving by email. You only need Full integration if you want everything going straight into your ATS.

What's the difference between Professional and Full integration?

Professional gives you a job board you manage in WordPress, with applications sent by email. Full integration connects to Bullhorn or Vincere, so jobs appear on the site from your ATS, candidates are created automatically with their CV attached, and employer enquiries become contacts.

My ATS isn't listed. Can you still connect it?

Probably. If it has an API or webhooks I can almost certainly connect to it. Send me the name and I'll confirm before quoting. I won't commit to something I can't deliver.

Can I edit the site myself?

Yes. It's WordPress, so you can edit pages, add new ones and manage jobs without touching code. You get a handover when it goes live.

What does the care plan cover?

UK hosting, WordPress and plugin updates, security monitoring, small edits and email support if something breaks. The first 3 months are included, then it's from £20 a month with no contract.

Will my jobs show up in Google's job search?

Job pages on the Professional and Full integration packages are marked up the way Google expects, with the title, location, salary and closing date, so live roles can appear in Google's job results as well as on your site.

How long does it take?

Most recruitment sites are live within 2 to 4 weeks. Full integration depends on getting API access from your ATS provider, which I'll help you request on day one.

Do I own the website?

Yes, the code, the content and the domain. If you ever move on, you get everything you need to take it with you.
