Recruitment Agency Websites
Website design for recruitment agencies and staffing businesses across Johannesburg
Built for Both Sides of the Desk, in Johannesburg
A recruitment website serves two audiences with almost nothing in common. Candidates want to find a job quickly on a phone and apply without building a profile. Client companies want to know you understand their sector and can fill a role properly. Build for one and you undermine the other.
Keeden Marketing builds recruitment websites across Johannesburg that hold both audiences apart cleanly, and handle candidate data properly.
Agencies We Work With Across Johannesburg
We work with agencies across Edenvale, Bedfordview, Sandton, Linksfield, Kempton Park, Greenstone, Modderfontein, Linbro Park, Germiston, Morningside, Sunninghill and Bryanston. Fallon comes to your offices to see how consultants actually work — because a site that fights your existing process just creates a second system nobody updates.
Recruitment is a local business on both sides. Candidates search by suburb and commute, and client companies want a consultant who can come in and meet a hiring manager. Your Johannesburg base and the areas you place into belong throughout the site.
The Job Board Has to Work on a Phone
Most candidates are searching on a phone, often during a lunch break, sometimes on a job they still have. If your board needs pinching and zooming, or demands account registration before showing a salary, you lose them. Filterable by sector, location and type, readable at arm’s length, and an application that takes a name, a contact number and a CV upload — nothing more at first contact.
Client Pages Are Where the Money Is
Candidate volume feels like success and client mandates pay the bills. The client side of the site needs its own proper section: the sectors and levels you recruit for, how your process works, your typical time to shortlist, your fee structure in principle, your replacement guarantee terms and references from companies you have placed into. Most agency websites give clients one thin page and wonder why mandates come only from referrals.
POPIA and CVs — This Is the Serious One
A CV is a dense package of personal information, and a recruitment agency collecting them at volume carries real obligations. Consent has to be obtained and recorded, candidates must be told how long you will keep their data and what you will use it for, and CVs cannot simply accumulate in an inbox indefinitely. We build application flows with explicit consent wording, a retention statement and secure handling, and we will point you at the parts that need your own legal input. Getting this wrong is the largest avoidable risk a recruitment agency carries online.
Consultant Profiles Sell Better Than Company Copy
Both audiences are choosing a person, not a firm. A candidate wants to know who will actually phone them back; a hiring manager wants a consultant who understands their sector. Consultant profiles giving the sectors each person recruits into, their experience and a direct contact route consistently outperform a page about your company values.
This sits alongside the other B2B website design work we do in Johannesburg, including consultancies and other B2B businesses. If your current site is dated rather than wrong, start with a website redesign instead, and consider AI SEO once it is live. Our prices are published, and the first consultation at your offices anywhere in our Johannesburg service area is free.
Recruitment Agency Websites — Common Questions
How should we handle CVs and POPIA?
With explicit consent wording at the point of application, a clear statement of how long you keep candidate data and what you use it for, and secure handling rather than CVs accumulating in a shared inbox. We build the flow; your legal advisor should review the wording, because this is the biggest avoidable risk an agency carries online.
Should candidates have to register an account to apply?
Not at first contact. Every field you add costs you applications. Take a name, a contact number and a CV, then collect the rest once a consultant is engaged.
Can the site connect to our applicant tracking system?
Usually, yes, and it should — a job board that has to be updated separately from your ATS will drift out of date within a month. We will look at what you use and integrate rather than duplicate.
How do we win more client mandates from the site?
Give clients their own proper section rather than a single page: sectors, process, time to shortlist, fee structure in principle, guarantee terms and references from companies you have placed into.
Which areas do you cover?
Agencies across Johannesburg East and Sandton, including Edenvale, Bedfordview, Sandton, Linksfield, Kempton Park, Greenstone, Modderfontein, Linbro Park, Germiston, Morningside, Sunninghill and Bryanston.
