The Problem

Your Jobs Rank on Job Boards While Clients Never Find You

Job boards get the candidates and competitors get the client calls. Your website lists vacancies but tells hiring managers almost nothing about the roles you fill.

  1. Client pages

    Hiring managers find one generic services page and leave.

    Client pages

    Sector, role, and location pages show clients what you fill and where.

  2. Job markup

    Vacancies appear on job boards but not in Google's job search.

    Job markup

    Job pages carry JobPosting markup built from your ATS fields.

  3. Old jobs

    Filled roles stay live and collect applications for months.

    Old jobs

    Expired and filled jobs drop out automatically when your ATS closes them.

  4. Reporting

    Client leads and candidate applications sit in one total.

    Reporting

    Reports split client inquiries from applications, so each side is measured.

A plant manager needs three maintenance technicians by next month and searches for a recruiter in her city. She finds two competitors and a job board. Your site has a jobs page and a generic services page, with no page for the sectors or roles you place. Meanwhile your vacancies show on Indeed, but not in Google's own job search, because your job pages carry no structured data. Filled roles stay online for months, so candidates apply to jobs that no longer exist.

We start by splitting your site into its two audiences. Hiring managers get sector, role, and location pages that show what you place, how fast, and where. Candidates get job pages with JobPosting markup fed from your ATS, so live roles qualify for Google's job search. Filled and expired jobs drop out automatically. Reports separate client inquiries from candidate applications, so you see which side each page serves. Clients find you directly, not after three job boards.

  • Pages hiring managers find

    Sector, role, and location pages that show clients exactly what you place.

  • Jobs in Google's job search

    JobPosting markup fed from your ATS on every live vacancy page.

  • Filled roles removed on time

    Expired and filled jobs drop out before candidates or Google notice.

Our SEO for Recruitment Agencies Process

From Two-Sided Audit to Clients and Candidates in Five Clear Steps

You approve the sector and role map, check the job feed before it goes live, and see client inquiries and applications by page every month.

  1. We check how your job pages appear in Google's job search, how many filled roles are still live, and what clients find for your sectors. You get a short report covering both sides of the market.

What's Included

What You Get From a Recruitment SEO Agency Built for Both Sides

A monthly program for recruitment and staffing agencies: client pages, live job markup from your ATS, expired job cleanup, and office profiles. Salary guides and reports cover both audiences.

  • Sector and role pages

    Pages for the industries and roles you fill, written for the hiring managers who buy.

  • JobPosting markup

    Structured data on each live job page, built from your ATS so details stay accurate.

  • Expired job cleanup

    Rules that remove filled and expired roles, so candidates stop applying to closed jobs.

  • Office profiles and pages

    A Business Profile and a location page for each office that clients visit.

  • Salary and market guides

    Pay and hiring guides for your sectors that clients bookmark and other sites link to.

  • Two-sided reporting

    Client inquiries and candidate applications tracked separately for every landing page you publish.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built and launched websites for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Recruiters Trust Us With Their Search Presence

Recruitment SEO touches your clients, your job data, and your candidates' time. These habits protect all three while search grows.

  • Consultants check the pages

    Your recruiters review every sector and role page before it goes live. They know which claims about time to fill and coverage are actually true.

  • Closed jobs come down fast

    We set removal rules on day one, not after a problem. Google warns that ignoring expired jobs can lead to a manual action.

  • Your ATS stays the source

    Job details come from your ATS feed, not copied by hand. One edit in Bullhorn or JobAdder updates the page and its markup.

  • Client names stay confidential

    Confidential searches stay confidential on every page. We write role and sector pages without naming a client who hasn't agreed to it.

  • Pay ranges shown properly

    Job pages show pay where your ad includes it. Several US states and cities now require pay ranges in job ads, so we follow your compliance lead.

  • Your accounts, your data

    Profiles, Search Console, analytics, and job feeds stay in your accounts. If you change partners later, nothing has to be rebuilt.

Good fit

  • Specialist recruitment agencies

    You place engineers, nurses, or accountants, and you want recruitment agency SEO that shows clients your sector depth before they call a competitor.

  • Staffing firms with branch offices

    You run temp and contract staffing from several branches, and each office needs its own page and Business Profile for local hiring managers.

  • Agencies with job pages but no traffic

    Your recruitment company SEO stops at a jobs page, and your vacancies never appear in Google's job search because the markup is missing.

  • Executive search firms

    You run confidential searches, and you need seo for recruitment company sites that builds authority without naming clients or roles you can't disclose.

  • Marketing agencies with staffing clients

    Your agency serves staffing firms, and you need an SEO agency for staffing and recruiting companies to deliver under your brand.

Not a fit

  • Website needs a rebuild

    Your site can't list jobs from your ATS or breaks on phones. Our Recruitment Agency Website Design service fixes the platform before search work starts.

  • You run a job board

    You run a job board with thousands of listings from many employers. That's a different problem, and our Programmatic SEO Services page covers it.

  • Hiring for your own company

    You hire for your own business and need a careers page fed by your ATS. Our API Integration Development service connects the feed.

  • Budget under $750 a month

    A $750 monthly program doesn't fit the budget yet. Many ATS tools offer job markup add-ons, and we'll check yours on a free call.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on recruitment search costs, timing, Google's job search, expired jobs, and how SEO brings in clients as well as candidates.

  • Our recruitment plans start at $750 per month for one office. That includes JobPosting markup from your ATS, expired job rules, up to 6 sector pages, and a Business Profile. Two-Sided Growth at $1,300 per month adds 3 client pages a month and salary guides. Multi-Branch Recruiter at $2,000 per month covers up to 5 offices.

  • Job markup and expired job fixes go live in 2 to 3 weeks, and jobs can appear in Google's job search soon after. Client inquiries take longer, usually 3 to 6 months, because sector and role pages need time to rank. Agencies in narrow niches tend to see client calls sooner.

  • Recruitment SEO is the work that helps a recruitment or staffing agency rank for two kinds of searches. Hiring managers search for agencies by sector, role, and city. Candidates search for jobs. Good seo for recruitment serves both with separate pages, because a client vacancy is worth far more than one application.

  • The best SEO service for recruitment websites covers client pages and job pages together. Look for JobPosting markup fed from your ATS, rules that remove filled roles, and reports that separate clients from candidates. Recruitment website SEO that only tracks traffic misses whether search brings vacancies, so ask a recruitment seo agency how it reports clients.

  • Promote a recruitment business on Google with three tools working together. Set up a Business Profile for each office, publish sector and role pages, and mark up live jobs for Google's job search. Then ask placed candidates and clients for reviews, because both sides read them.

  • SEO supports recruitment by bringing candidates to your own job pages instead of paid boards, and clients to your sector pages. Every candidate who applies on your site lands in your ATS without a per-application fee. Salary guides also give consultants something useful to send prospects.

  • Job listings show in Google's job search when each job page carries valid JobPosting structured data. Google requires fields such as title, description, date posted, hiring organization, and location. We build that markup from your ATS fields and use the Indexing API on larger plans, so updates reach Google sooner.

  • Filled and expired jobs should leave search quickly, or they hurt both candidates and rankings. Google's guidance is to set a past closing date, return a 404 or 410, or remove the markup. It warns that ignoring expired jobs can lead to a manual action. We automate this from your ATS status.

  • Yes, we connect job feeds from ATS platforms such as Bullhorn, JobAdder, Vincere, and Loxo. The feed creates or updates each job page with its markup, and closes it when the ATS marks the role filled. Your consultants keep working in the ATS, and the website follows.

  • You do. Pages, profiles, Search Console, analytics, and the job feed settings stay in your accounts. We hand over the sector map and the expired job rules, so your team or a new partner carries on. If a cheaper option already covers your case, such as your ATS's own job plugin, we'll tell you before we quote.
