Websites for recruitment agencies
Two audiences with opposite needs, and rules about what you may charge whom.
A recruitment website has to serve employers with vacancies and candidates looking for work, and their interests are not the same. Candidates want salary and detail; employers want discretion and speed.
There is also a legal boundary worth being clear about: employment agencies and businesses are prohibited from charging work-seekers a fee for finding them work, and candidates are increasingly aware of it.
What your customers want answered
- For employers: what do you charge and what is your guarantee period
- For candidates: is it free, and what roles do you actually have
- Which sectors and levels do you recruit for
- How quickly can you fill a role
- Do you do temporary, permanent or both
State the fee position on both sidesEmployers want the percentage and the rebate terms if a placement does not last. Candidates want confirmation that they will never be charged. Publishing both is unusual, straightforward, and removes the suspicion each side brings.
A job board that is out of date
Roles filled months ago destroy credibility with both audiences at once. Either keep the listings current or do not have them, and instead describe the kind of work you place.

One message is enough to start. I’ll read it and reply myself, usually with a couple of questions and a clear price.
