Despite steady growth in the recruitment sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, the industry still faces significant challenges.

It’s also clear there’s going to be an economic slowdown. You may find yourself wondering what this means for the recruitment sector, and the impacts this might have on recruitment, as a whole, going forward.

Recruiters are key in the post Covid-19 world, with unemployment set to rise from 3.9% to 4.2% in 2023, the recruitment industry will play a crucial part in igniting the country’s workforce.

But they have to be smart in how they navigate this. From the adoption of the latest technologies such as sales enablement tools to embracing the flexible workforce. In addition, recruitment businesses are also guilty of neglecting the weapons they already have in their armoury.

In particular, they neglect to acknowledge their website as a strong opportunity for sales.

Those within the recruitment sector seem to see their website as a showpiece rather than a tool that can drive excellent opportunities for them. Of course, recruiters are heavily utilising the likes of LinkedIn to headhunt and job boards to attract candidates, and rightly so, but what about their website?

The website can still be utilised for candidate and client conversion – after all, there should be a decent level of traffic, so it would be almost criminal not to make the most of the visitors that are arriving there. With the ever more competitive nature of the industry, the increase in the number of job-hoppers, and the number of candidates set to rise as unemployment goes up, it’s now essential for those in the recruitment industry to utilise their own website for growing the business and navigating the post-pandemic world. 

Be the first to move, and you’ll gain advantage over the competition and make your website a killer converter, keeping your sales team happy and your pipeline full of relevant prospects.
