Website design for recruitment agencies

We design recruitment websites with separate routes for candidates and employers. Clear specialisms, useful job information and an agreed connection to your applicant tracking system help the public site support recruitment without becoming a second candidate database.

The right vacancy needs a dependable next step.

A candidate should know whether a job is current and where their application goes. An employer needs different proof, service information and contact context. Design those routes deliberately.

Make vacancies understandable and current.

Define the fields for role, location, working pattern, salary wording and closing status. Decide which system owns each fact rather than allowing the ATS and website to drift apart.

Give employers their own route.

Explain specialisms, engagement models and the information needed to discuss a role. Keep employer contact separate from applications and general candidate questions.

Test the handoff, not just the job card.

Plan redirects to the ATS, application confirmation and expired-job behaviour. Personal CVs and applicant records should stay in the approved recruitment system, with clear notices at the handoff.

Recruitment website questions.

Does Webflow replace our ATS?

No. The website can explain specialisms, publish employer content and present or link to vacancies. Applications, CVs and candidate records remain in the ATS unless a separately reviewed implementation is required.

Can you display jobs from our ATS?

We need its documentation, feed or API, plan permissions and job lifecycle rules. We assess how identifiers, filters, updates and expiry will behave before choosing CMS sync, an embed or another approach.

Will you add JobPosting schema?

Only where an actual visible job page meets the required content and expiry rules. Schema must reflect the real vacancy, location, dates and application route. It is not appropriate to attach vacancy markup to a general recruitment service page.

What happens to closed jobs?

We agree an expiry policy with the content and search owners, including status, alternative routes and any indexing changes. Leaving a permanently active application button on a closed role is not an acceptable default.

Connect the vacancy to the application people expect.

Bring your ATS, one example role and the owners of candidate and employer enquiries.
