Please add a /jobs redirect to your website, if necessaryIt would make me happy if /jobs was the industry standard, then any visitor to your site has only to type 5 characters and the enter key to see if you have jobs available.
Please arrange things (or ask your web person to do it) so that anyone typing /jobs at the end of your homepage will automatically be redirected to wherever you keep information about job vacancies on your site.
There are plenty of suggestions and instructions
https://www.google.com/search?&q=how+to+redirect+URL
Advantages
• saves people having to navigate to see where you've hidden your vacancies page
• saves them having to type jobs, job vacancies, vacancies, recruitment, employment, work for us, work with us, careers or opportunities into your search bar
Disadvantages
• if you move your vacancies page you'd need to remember to set up a redirect again
Grab your job vacancies bonus points
- Don't make site visitors log in to see your job vacancies
- Let each job vacancy have its own URL so that people can share a direct link via email and social media, rather than suggesting that they search using the job's ID code
- Consider if the skills you want need to be phrased as 'essential' or if you can show that the job encourages learning
- If you'll accept two people working part-time on the job, say so in the advert
- Be explicit about the salary, use numbers
- If your organisation is very small with low turnover then I'd still recommend considering a static jobs page with information about the roles and skills of your staff and why they like working there

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.
Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
