A few years ago, the launch of the .jobs internet domain introduced an exciting new tool for online recruitment. .jobs is designed to provide a single location for businesses to promote employment opportunities and job openings within the company. The URL follows a format that’s similar to your company’s main web page. For example if your home page was www.xyzcompany.com, your .jobs domain would be www.xyzcompany.jobs.
Why Would You Want a .Jobs Domain?
A .jobs domain provides a dedicated web page for online recruiting efforts. Companies often spend a lot of money on ads promoting job openings only to send applicants to their main web page. From there, the applicant must sift through multiple web pages in an effort to find the “Careers” or “Job Openings” section … an effort that can prove challenging if your website is large or contains a lot of content. A .jobs domain provides jobseekers with the exact location of job openings and career opportunities within your organization. That means they’ll find the jobs faster and you’ll fill open positions more quickly.
More Visible to Search Engines Too!
A .jobs website can help you generate interest from candidates using search engines, like Google, to find employment opportunities. While your home page is often highly visible to search engines, your careers page may be buried deep in your website and difficult for search engines to find. On the other hand, a .jobs domain allows your career-related content to be “seen” as a home page and your job openings become much more visible.
