I believe the search engines as a career finding tool is over-rated. Serious candidates go to a job site to find work. If you are after passive candidates, SEO's dont help at all because the recruiter has to find them by searching resumes or linkedin profiles. But I do agree on the role of SEO for increasing the profile of your company. This is a long term proposition as the article noted.
Thanks for the insights

Not a heck of a lot of substance to this post, but I'll chip in my 2c.... it's really important for recruitment websites to do keyword analysis, figure out what people are actually searching for, and then create optimised entry points. So if you work out that people are searching for "admin job", you better have a page on your site that talks about admin jobs or you're not going to rank for that term.

Hi Eric,

Great insight and observation there.

Coming from the employer's end, it is high time that we take this form of recruitment seriously. It seems, the trend is moving in that direction anyway.

Thanks for the visit.

Nicole,
Thanks for the timely post, given the clamor around the topic of SEO in the recruitment arena. As in all marketing, you are on the money when you say that SEO alone is not the silver bullet. But with more than 124 million monthly job-related searches on the major search engines, it's a bullet that is fast becoming a powerful weapon. It is well-documented that employers and candidates alike have been souring on the major job boards for years. As job seekers migrate to search engines in hopes of bypassing the middle man (job boards), SEO and top-10 ranking will continue to emerge as a critical discipline for employer branding, if not for filling an immediate need.
