Web design for recruitment agencies

I design and build websites for recruitment agencies that win employer briefs and attract the right candidates, with two clear paths from the first screen.

How clients choose

A recruiter’s site has two audiences with opposite needs. Employers want proof you know their sector and can fill the role. Candidates want current jobs and a quick way to apply. Mixing them confuses both. The site should separate them early and keep listings current.

  • recruitment agency calgary
  • staffing agency near me
  • it recruiter calgary
  • executive search firm calgary
  • engineering recruitment agency
  • accounting recruiters
  • temporary staffing agency

What people type before they choose. Each of these deserves a clear answer somewhere on your site, usually its own page.

Pages your site needs

The pages I plan for almost every agency website, and why each one earns its place.

  1. For employers

    How you search, how you screen and what an engagement looks like. Hiring managers want process.

  2. Sectors

    A page per sector with the roles you place and the recruiter who leads it.

  3. Jobs

    Current openings with location, type and a short application path.

  4. For candidates

    How you work with candidates, confidentiality and what to expect after applying.

  5. Submit a resume

    For candidates not matched to a current role. A database you can draw on later.

  6. Team

    Recruiters by specialty, with photos and direct contact details.

What builds trust

The signals that move someone from browsing to choosing an agency.

  • Recruiters by specialty

    Who covers which sector, with LinkedIn profiles linked.

  • Sector depth

    Roles you place and the market you know, written with real specifics.

  • Candidate privacy

    How resumes are stored and shared, and that nothing goes to an employer without consent.

  • Process explained

    Steps, timelines and communication, for both sides.

The conversion path

Primary action: Submit a role or book a call with a sector lead.

Fallback: Browse jobs and apply.

The homepage splits employers and candidates immediately. Employers go to sector pages that end in a direct contact with that sector’s lead. Candidates go to listings with a short application that does not force account creation.

Common mistakes

What I see most often when I review sites in this field.

  • Stale job listings

    Expired roles frustrate candidates and signal a slow agency to employers.

  • One contact form for everyone

    Employer briefs end up mixed with candidate inquiries.

  • Generic people-first copy

    Every agency says it. Specific sector knowledge is what persuades.

  • Long, forced applications

    Requiring an account to apply loses good candidates.

Features worth building

  • Job feed from your ATS

    Listings pulled from Bullhorn, JobAdder or your system, so they stay current without manual work.

  • Job posting markup

    Structured data so listings can appear in Google’s job search results.

  • Resume upload

    Secure upload that goes straight into your applicant tracking system.

  • Sector landing pages

    Editable pages per sector, each with its own recruiter and current roles.

FAQ

Websites for recruitment agencies: common questions

  1. Both, connected. The listings should come from your ATS automatically and appear on your own domain. That keeps jobs current without double entry, lets candidates apply on your site, and gives you the search traffic rather than sending it to a third-party job board. I connect the feed during the build.

  2. Each job page needs structured data describing the role, location, employment type and posting date, and expired jobs need to be removed or marked closed. When that is in place, Google can show your listings in its job search results. I build this into the job templates so it works for every posting automatically.

  3. Split them on the first screen and give each its own section, tone and calls to action. Employers want process and sector depth. Candidates want jobs and a fast application. Shared pages, like the team page, can link both ways. What fails is a single homepage trying to talk to both at once.

  4. For the sectors that matter to your business, yes. A sector page ranks for searches like engineering recruiter plus the city, shows employers you know their market and gives candidates a reason to trust you with their search. Start with your strongest sectors and add others as the team grows.
