How good is your recruiter’s website?
How good is your recruitment agency’s website?
If you are struggling to find the right candidates for your business, it may be that you need to utilise a recruiter to help you find the right candidate. But beware… not all recruiters are created equally (and neither are their websites!).
Page views
With around 10,000 monthly page views, The Burford Recruitment Company website achieves around three times more traffic than the average recruitment website (according to the recruitment website report released by Wave, a leading recruitment website designer). This means that our website reaches and interacts with thousands of candidates every month and ensures that your advert is viewed by hundreds more job seekers than our competitors. But it’s not just about quantity – it’s also about quality!
Quality traffic
The Burford Recruitment Company website also boasts a monthly bounce rate that averages under 2.5% (against an average of over 50%). This means that a huge majority of the candidates that visit our website each month, stay on our website for longer periods of time, and searching more pages before leaving. In fact, our website averages over 5 page views per visit. This is down to our user-friendly search functionality, which enables job seekers to easily explore more opportunities that match their skills and interests, increasing the chances that your advert will be viewed by the right candidate.
Other great functionality
The website is also Google Jobs enabled, which means that our job listings are prominently displayed on Google search results. It is optimized for mobile devices, ensuring that job seekers can access our website from anywhere, at any time, making it easier for job seekers to find your listings and apply for your open positions.
Do your research!
Applications through a website are one of several ways in which recruitment agencies attract candidates for your business, but it is an important one that should not be overlooked! If you’re looking to fill a vacancy in and around the Cotswolds, and are considering using a recruitment agency, make sure you check out their website first. Search for them on a mobile device (as a candidates would) and see how easy it is to navigate to find what you need. What do the job adverts look like? and how easy it is to apply?
We are proud of our state-of-the-art recruitment website. With our high traffic, low bounce rate, and user-friendly interface, and we’re confident that we can help you find the best candidates for your business.

PS… While national agencies websites may well have higher traffic, you should consider that they are spread across a much bigger geographical region, and might have little or no relevant contact for your local candidate!
