Objective of launching the new website:

The first and foremost objective of creating this new job platform was to help candidates navigate through a smooth and standard process of recruitment. The highly experienced recruitment and career consultants of Npower Jobs ensured that the job applicants get a higher level of accessibility and assistance throughout their job searching process.

Strategies and actions taken:

Designing a user-friendly, feature-rich and social media integrated website was their first step towards attracting talent pools. The new website has all the ingredients it needed such as modern look, clear navigation, easy job search options and greater degree of interaction through social media and blog.

Accessibility of job related information was another important aspect that was given a high level of focus. Candidates often need to search jobs through multiple sources such as job boards, search engines, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and more. They also need to browse jobs through multiple devices such as desktop, mobile and other handheld devices.

Npower focused on these basic needs of candidates with precision and accuracy. The website was designed and marketed in such a way that provided job seekers with a website which integrated seamlessly with all channels in addition to being desktop and mobile compatable.

Attaining greater Search Engine visibility was also a high priority for the company.Npower ensured that over 50% of their visitors arrive on a vacancy page or a particular job page directly through Google search. This has made the life of potential job applicants even easier.

One does not need to type npower in Google search to view list of jobs available or advertised.

This saves the applicant time in trying to find the right job and improves overall user experience.
