If you want to have the best company career page, look at the career home pages below. Some are terrific all the way through and others have a couple of awesome ideas you can borrow.
And you can get most of the career page features below through Ongig’s Candidate Experience Software.
GoDaddy Company Career Page
- Attention-grabbing hero media
- Custom header with career-oriented links
- Video of company culture
- Employer of Choice awards/badges (acts as social proof)
Intuit Company Career Page
- Simple headline
- Dominant call-to-action (to “search jobs”)
- Why — They answer the question that many technologists ask which is “why work there?” with a great answer for engineer types (“Build technology that touches the lives of 45 million people)
- They show a lot of faces of employees (good social proof)
84 Lumber Company Career Page
- Headline — They use a headline…sort of (it’s 75 words)…about what they value in a candidate and what the candidate gets in return. We don’t see this very often. Again, it feels authentic/unique.
- Great hero media — It’s an authentic-feeling video of what looks like the back of one of their store locations.
- Career Path — They link off to a career path page
- Social Proof — They list 3 employer of choice awards they’ve won
Rackspace Company Career Page
Rackspace has had a unique career page ever since we began looking at them a few years back. Some highlights:
- “Are You A Racker?” — They immediately use language about their tribe (“Rackers”)
- Teams — They break down their teams by a few different brands they support (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Cloud, VMware Cloud, Google Cloud, etc.) — leveraging other top brands for your jobs is usually a good idea.
- Locations — They treat their locations as true destinations (e.g. a guitar icon for Austin, Texas). It’s a nice touch.
VMware Company Career Page
- Hero Media — They have an eye-catching pic
- Headline — The “Do something remarkable” headline along with the hero pic is an effective one-two punch
- Social Proof — They mention a handful of employer of choice awards.
Fandom Company Career Page
- A fun headline and hero media that gets the candidate’s attention
- Font/Color Scheme – – They use a fun and playful font and color scheme. You feel like you’re in a comic book (consistent with their brand)
- Global — They show clearly how they are a global company.
Parsable Company Career Page
- “Our Story” — Everyone loves a story and they use this as their second section heading
- “Work on the Latest Tech” — This headline gives a great answer to the question of “why” a technical person wants to work at Parsable (or anywhere). Techies love to work on the latest tech. A good rule of thumb: Always mention other brands if you work with/on them!
- “Where We Come From” — Again, the narrative they are using is a bit more of a story. It’s important to know where employees came from and because they mention many name-brands, it’s additional social proof.
- Technical Advisory Board — You don’t see this every day. They mention their tech advisory board on the career home page. They even mention where the board member came from. If you’re a technical candidate, this is going to stand out.
Alorica Company Career Page
- This career page is simple and effective:
- Work-at-Home — They are one of the few career sites we’ve seen that mentions immediately (on their career page) that they have work-from-home jobs
- Real Testimonials — They have employee testimonials with the full name and title of each employee (versus many career sites that just say “Donald P.: I love this place…”
- Team/Department Descriptions — They describe each team
- Social Proof — They have a ticker with the number of customer interactions
Avanade Company Career Page
- An overall clean look (less is (often) more!
- Hero media — It’s a nice picture and leads to a video if the candidate wants
- Controllable gallery of hero media — too often pictures are on auto-play (i.e. they are scrolling without the candidate doing anything). Most candidates prefer to be in control and Avanade lets them do this with the right/left arrows
