Why is SEO so important for job seekers
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011As the nation faces Christmas 2011 in another recession, the availability of jobs is once again a hot topic. However, as a job seeker, how frustrated would you be if a company in your area had jobs available for your experience but when you searched online using keywords like location, salary expectations and skills, nothing appeared.
As frightening as it may sound, this currently does happen in some cases. Some Applicant Tracking Systems used by corporates who employ thousands of people worldwide do not open their vacancies for Google to index them. As a result any vacancies posted on to the career websites are not returned in Google’s results. Corporates are slowly realising that this is the case, and many are taking steps to change it. For job seekers, this can only be a good thing.
