    Careers websites built to convert candidates

    A careers website is more than a page for listing jobs; it's your final chance to convince a candidate why they should choose you. Yet 94% of candidates who view a job posting never complete an application. A great careers site closes that gap: it brings your culture, values and employer brand to life, and turns a curious visitor into a confident applicant.

    We design and build high-converting careers sites grounded in candidate research. For Soho House, the site we built drove a 36% rise in applications and 49,300 applications in its first month; for On Running, we delivered a global careers platform from research with 150+ employees across 6 locations.

    We create careers sites that don’t just look the part – they deliver results.

    We start with deep-dive user research to get under the skin of what candidates want and how they interact with your employer brand. By blending these insights with a strong employer narrative, slick user journeys, and innovative design, we shape a candidate experience that feels effortless. From initial wireframes to final launch, every detail is designed to attract and convert the best talent.

    With Wiser, your careers site becomes more than a window into your opportunities – it’s a strategy-led tool to help you win top candidates and keep them coming back for more.

    Frequently asked questions about an Careers Sites

    A careers website should do more than just list jobs. It needs a clear employer value proposition, real employee stories, content on culture and progression, and role-specific details.

    Every element should help answer a candidate's unspoken questions before they decide whether to apply: does this company match my values, will I belong here, and can I trust what they're showing me. With 94% of candidates who view a job posting never completing an application, what you include is what closes that gap.

    Behind the scenes, they also need fast performance, accessibility, SEO best practices, and a seamless integration with your application tracking system (ATS) to support quick filtering and job search.

    Start with the candidate, not the design. At Wiser, our process begins with persona-led research and candidate journey mapping, because not everyone arrives the same way. A candidate coming from LinkedIn may go straight to a job description page, while someone discovering your brand through Instagram may want employee stories and culture content first.

    Those insights are paired with an analysis of existing site data to shape a strong employer narrative, slick user journeys and design that captures your identity, so the site reflects who you actually are, rather than a template. Your careers site is your employer brand in action, and the one place you fully control the message before the interview, the offer or the contract.

    A high-converting careers website is built around the candidate journey and removes friction at every step. Candidates should be able to discover relevant opportunities through intuitive search and filtering, with as few barriers as possible. Clear navigation, mobile-first design, page speed, optimised job descriptions under 600 words and prominent “apply” buttons all contribute to higher conversion rates. For Soho House, the site Wiser built drove a 36% rise in applications and 49,300 applications in its first month.

    Your careers site should evolve as your business does. While the platform itself should be built to last, aim to build a consistent rhythm of fresh content: blogs, key messaging and employee testimonials each month. Larger investments such as photography and videography are typically refreshed every 12 months. Beyond keeping the site credible, regular updates support SEO and show candidates you care about telling your story in real time.
