Employment candidates are approaching their job search as they would product research. They seek information about your brand, your culture, and your organizational philosophy. They read employee reviews and other consumer-generated content, including testimonials and client feedback. Ultimately, the decision to ‘buy now’ by applying to your organization is reliant on the information they find during this phase. If you are neglecting the brand perception of your organization by current or former employees, you are doing your recruitment efforts a disservice.

If you don’t have a site that renders well in the mobile experience, you are no longer relevant. You won’t appear in searches, and your site won’t convert. The expectation is a device-agnostic experience.
