I’ve been hard at work on improving the SEO (search engine optimization) of the Nihongo Jobs job board, and already the results are very promising!
Depending on which search engine you use (ie. Google, DuckDuckGo) you will see that Nihongo Jobs is showing higher at the top, sometimes even the first after other job boards’ advertisements!
This means that more job seekers are finding my job board and your job ads, expanding the audience from my 20,000 followers to more people. I have more homework to do here, but the above graphic shows a bit of the results so far 😊
For job seekers: improved search capabilities, improved email job alerts, logos on 99% of ads, and better quality job ads (2,658 ads today). Take a look if you haven't seen the job board lately!
For employers/recruiters: In the past, each company would have their own company profile page, but job seekers weren't really using it and it was extra data that took time for you to complete. Now I’ve shortened the job ad posting process by requesting only a company name and URL. View the master list of companies here.
April plans include a website redesign/refresh, improved search function and job search landing pages for job seekers, and more improved technical SEO. I can’t wait to share my update next month!
