At Refari, we continuously strive to refine and enhance the recruitment journey for both job seekers and employers. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce a significant upgrade for Refari Job Alert Acquisition to our client job boards, specifically designed to optimise the job alert acquisition process. This new feature not only simplifies the way job seekers can sign up for alerts but also significantly increases the marketing capabilities for all our clients. Below, we delve into the details of this upgrade and how it promises to elevate your job board experience.
A Seamless Way to Subscribe to Job Alerts
Traditionally, the primary method for job seekers to opt into job alerts has been through the application process. As a candidate navigates through applying for a job – including submitting a CV and answering any screener questions – they’re presented with an option at the end of their application to receive alerts for similar jobs. Such a feature has proven to be beneficial, with approximately 50% of candidates choosing to opt in for these notifications.
However, we recognised a limitation within this system. To opt into job alerts, candidates had to complete an application, potentially discouraging those who might not be ready to apply or are browsing multiple options. To address this and open up the opportunity for more job seekers to receive personalised job alerts, we’ve implemented a strategic change.
Introducing: Direct Job Alert Opt-In
Navigating a job advert is now more intuitive and empowering for users. Regardless of where a job seeker finds themselves on a job advert page, they’ll always have immediate access to a pivotal call-to-action: “Get an alert for similar jobs.” This feature allows candidates to directly opt into job alerts without the necessity of applying for the specific job first.
By simply clicking this button, job seekers can effortlessly fill in their email address and preferred update frequency, enabling them to stay informed about relevant job opportunities without any additional commitment. This approach not only enhances the experience for job seekers but also significantly benefits our clients by:
- Increasing job alert subscriptions: By removing the prerequisite of job application completion, we’re opening the floodgates for a higher volume of job seekers to sign up for alerts. More alerts mean a wider reach for every job posting, increasing the chances of finding the ideal candidate.
- Boosting client marketing capabilities: With an increased number of job seekers opting into alerts, our client job boards automatically become more robust marketing tools. This higher level of engagement drives more traffic and potential applications, enriching the overall recruitment ecosystem on our platform>
Why This Matters
In our ongoing mission to make recruitment as efficient and user-friendly as possible, this upgrade symbolises a significant leap forward. For job seekers, the path to discovering relevant job opportunities has become more accessible and tailored to individual preferences. For our clients, the enhanced job alert system promises a broader audience and deeper engagement with their listings, ultimately fostering a more dynamic and successful recruitment process.
At Refari, we’re committed to continuous improvement and innovation. This latest feature is just one of the many ways we’re enhancing our services to better serve the recruitment community.
