5 Steps to Better Job Description Click-Through Rates

ExactHire Recruiting

In most organizations, marketers don’t own the task of writing job descriptions for new opportunities available within their organization. This responsibility generally belongs to people in human resources or recruiting.

What is a Job Aggregator?

ApplicantPro

In the last article of our Recruiting Basics series, we discussed what a job board is. A job aggregator is very similar to a job board, but it functions in a different way. A job aggregator acts more like a search engine than a job board, which means if your job ad is not keyword dense or doesn’t have the right keyword, it’s unlikely job seekers will see your job ad.
