Is your answer to these questions absolutely yes? If you are not sure, read on to give your job post the edge it deserves.
How to Have Your Job Posting Ads Rank High in Google Jobs Search Engine
Optimization is critical to making sure your job posts are actually seen.
Today, we’re going to look at five features of our platform that improve the SEO of your job descriptions and optimize your job posts.
All of these optimization features use machine learning to make recommendations on how to improve the Google rankings of your job post. Here’s what Jobiak does to deliver the best search engine results:
1. Scours Google Adwords
Our machine learning algorithms look at real-time alternate keywords from Google Ads and generate keywords. The Jobiak platform is like your Google jobs search engine expert sidekick — it’s constantly looking at what words are being used the most in Google Adwords and tells you what are the most commonly used words. By arming you with a list of up-to-date keywords, you can make changes quickly right within the Jobiak platform to achieve maximum visibility.
For example, if you were looking to advertise a job post for an Embedded Engineer, Jobiak would present the relative keywords to that position.
2. Looks at Real-time Search
Identifying what keywords people are searching in real time on Google for Jobs is essential to create high-ranking job posts. Jobiak’s platform takes real-time search terms and generates those as keywords. See the example below for a Computer Programmer job post.
3. Generates Alternate Job Titles
By looking at 20 million jobs titles and analyzing performance via fool-proof machine learning algorithms, Jobiak recommends the job title that will make you rank higher in the Google jobs search engine. This job title is an alternative to the one you created but our algorithms tell us that this will get you better results than your original title.
For example, your job title may be Physician Assistant, but the Jobiak’s machine learning tells you by using the title Nurse Practitioner, your posting will rank higher in Google for Jobs. Then, you make the educated choice based on analytics.
Below is an example of alternate job titles for a lead software engineer.
4. Recommends Optimal Job Skills Description
Coming up with a clear list of skills required for your job description is not always easy. A succinct list is imperative to attracting the right candidate to the job.
The Jobiak machine learning platform looks at your current title, compares it to other job postings with the same title, identifies what’s missing from your list, and recommends the skill list that will perform well in Google for Jobs. It is up to you whether you want to accept the suggestions.
5. Suggests Job Titles Based on Job Description
Similar to the alternate job titles, Jobiak scours millions of job descriptions and identifies what the best title is for that job description. By best, we mean which title will rank highest in Google from an SEO perspective and garner the most attention.
At this point in the recruitment cycle, it matters more, that the qualified candidate finds your job posting than it does to have the job description be aligned with your company naming conventions. Again, the final decision is up to you and making changes in the Jobiak platform is intuitive and quick.
