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.

Key Point: A bad site costs you staff. Staff cost you sales.

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

  1. Speed Up – Make your site load in two seconds.
  2. Go Mobile – Make forms work on phones. Most use phones.
  3. Cut Fields – Ask for name and phone. Nothing else.
  4. 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.
