Career Site Boosts Auckland Job Apps 122%
One US firm got 122% more job apps. Kiwi firms can copy this.
The Problem for NZ Firms
You post jobs. No one applies. Your site looks old.
Joe’s Cafe had this issue. They got three apps. For ten roles.
What This Means
Bad sites kill your hiring. Good sites bring staff.
Think of it like shop windows. Ugly ones repel buyers.
Why Kiwis Should Care
Auckland has staff shortages. Good firms lose out.
TradeMe Jobs gets 200k views. SEEK gets more. You compete.
The Fix
Fix three things. Speed. Mobile. Forms.
It’s not hard. Takes one week.
What To Do Now
- Speed Up – Make your site load in two seconds.
- Go Mobile – Make forms work on phones. Most use phones.
- Cut Fields – Ask for name and phone. Nothing else.
- Add Photos – Show real staff. Real place. Builds trust.
Real NZ Results
Smith’s Build in Manukau did this. They got 85% more apps. In ten days.
Pro Tip: Add salary bands. More people apply when you show pay.
