Don't get fooled

Buying websites is a minefield in this price range, so beware of stealth charges from other vendors. Make sure you bench test our offering for all it comes with free of charge, and read these essential FAQS to learn how we don't rip off our clients.

 

FAQ 1: What is the delivery time?

 

⌲ 3-5 weeks is typical, depending on the amount of work we have in the pipeline.

⌲ The process is simple: pick a design, choose its colours, images, etc., load your content, and away you go. We support this whole process, and you need zero technical, design, or website skills.

 

FAQ 2: Do we charge extra based on how many jobs you have on the site?

 

⌲ Charging you for the volume of jobs on the site is entirely unethical. It costs at most £0.00000000007 pence to put a job on a website. Nothing justifies charging you by the job.

⌲ Many of our competitors charge this way because you buy jobs from the job boards this way, and they want to con you into thinking there is a different cost to host 5, 10, 50, 50, 5000, 50000... jobs on your site, and there is not.

⌲ Don't fall for it; it is just a con.

 

FAQ 3: Do we charge extra based on how many features you use?

 

⌲ No, unlike some vendors, you can use all our features free of charge.

If you made your code right, once you create a feature, it will be in the code, ready and waiting for all users.

⌲ Charging extra for those features is just more stealth pricing.

⌲ Don't fall for it; it is just a con.

⌲ Our full features are listed on our website. Click for features.

 

FAQ 4: Do we charge extra based on how many staff you have?

 

⌲ No, unlike some vendors, you can have unlimited staff members/users on the site with us.

⌲ Many of our competitors charge this way because you buy your other RecTech based on the number of seats or user licenses for your staff members.

⌲ But this is just a con when it comes to recruitment websites. There is zero cost for a recruitment website vendor to have 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 500, 5000... staff members use your site. Unless their tech is so poorly made it can't run these staff pages user accounts.

⌲ Don't fall for it; it is just a con.

 

FAQ 5: Do we charge extra based on site visits/server space used?

 

⌲ No, unlike some vendors, with us, you can have unlimited visitors to your site, and the support/hosting fees won't go up.

⌲It is entirely unethical to charge you for the number of site visits. With modern website server rental plans, nothing justifies charging you for site visits.

⌲ Don't fall for it; it is just a con.

 

FAQ 6: Do we charge extra for how many support requests you make?

 

⌲ No, you can make unlimited support requests. Charging you for the number of support requests you make is entirely unethical.

⌲ Either you priced your product/service correctly, or you did not. Adding stealth fees later is just hiding the cost of your product service.

⌲ Don't fall for it; it is just a con.

 

FAQ 7: Can you have future feature updates we make?

 

⌲ Yes, you can subscribe to our optional feature update plan.

⌲ You can opt into feature update plans or discuss the news features as and when we launch them.

 

FAQ 8: Can you have future design update plans?

 

⌲ Most clients never need to pay for design updates, as our admin control gives them so much flexibility.

⌲ You can subscribe to our optional design update plan and buy individual design updates, but as we said, changing images, icons, videos, and text can all be done free of charge in site admin, and that is 90% of most design needs covered.

 

FAQ 9: Can I have my own colours?

⌲ Yes, providing images free of charge is also part of the standard service.

⌲ You can provide your own images, or we can work with your brand or marketing agency on images.

 

FAQ 12: Can I use video?

 

⌲ Yes, this is also part of the standard service for making sites with videos if you want. In some of our demos, you will see we have used video on the home page; in others, we have not. But all our sites support video on all pages.

⌲ All our sites support video and integration with YouTube; Vimeo is all standard.

 

FAQ 13: Can I make bespoke changes to a template?

 

⌲ All templates come with a wide range of bespoke options, or you can use our Template Plus Service to fully bespoke your site design. With this service, you can have any bespoke change you want; we estimate the changes, and you approve them.

⌲ But keep in mind that changing images, icons, videos, and text can all be done free of charge in site admin, and they are 90% of the design's personality.

*Connecting to APIs has a one-time fee.

 

FAQ 18: Can I integrate it with my Job posting tool?

 

⌲ We have API connectivity with Broadbean, idibu, LogicMelon and Wave. 

⌲ This is a fully self-service process; you enter the site admin and download the instruction files for Broadbean, idibu, LogicMelon, and Wave to send jobs and handle applications from the site. They then have all they need to connect.

⌲ Broadbean, idibu, LogicMelon, and Wave may charge you for this connection, but we do not.

 

FAQ 19: Do we work with Google for Jobs?

 

⌲ Yes, as standard, we automatically send your jobs to Google for jobs API.

⌲ However, please note that Google does not guarantee to index your jobs, but sending jobs to the APi is the best way to ensure they consider them for publishing instead of waiting for them to scrape your jobs.

⌲ Our team provides guidance and support on how to give your jobs the best chance for inclusion. This is one of the benefits of working with a vendor with 21+ years of recruitment SEO experience.

 

FAQ 20: Do we charge extra for making admin-based updates to the site?

 

⌲ 100% of the updates our clients wish to make are free in the site admin, which the client has complete control over, with training materials, training videos and unlimited support provided.

⌲ Here is an example of a training video built into our website admin: Example video

⌲ No, they come as standard.

FAQ 22: Do we charge extra for hosting?

 

⌲ No, it is included in our support fees, and it is completely unlimited, unlike the majority of vendors, which have limits and stealth fees.

⌲ Don't fall for it; it is just a con to pay more for hosting or accept any hosting limits or price increases based on use.

 

FAQ 23: Where do we host our sites?

 

⌲ Our websites are hosted in Germany, with an award-winning server provider who uses 100% green energy.

⌲ We have the best servers in the business and have not had an unplanned server downtime in the past 20 years.

⌲ Mission-critical issues are dealt with immediately.

 

FAQ 27: Are you GDPR Compliant?

 

⌲ Yes, we are fully compliant, but we also make our sites compliant with the Companies Act; at present, 75% of recruitment sites we see are in breach of this act, breaking the law and risking fines of up to £1000.

⌲ The ICO will confirm that the best way to be GDPR is to keep data where you can prove it is needed only, and every year from 2016 to date, the ICO has confirmed recruitment websites do not need to keep candidate data in the way our competitors keep that data.

⌲ So, we do not keep candidate data on our websites and expose other vendors' poor GDPR practices when they do.

 

FAQ 28: Are you Cyber Secure?

 

⌲ Yes, thoroughly, and we have the added advantage of not storing personal data in our systems, where many of our competitors still take that risk.

 

FAQ 29: Can you provide SEO?

 

⌲Yes, we can provide Technical SEO, On-Page SEO and Off-Page SEO.

⌲ But one word of caution here: Many vendors say their websites have SEO, but SEO is not that simple. Websites don't have SEO; for most in-site admin, you can tune text, images, page URLs, etc. (commonly known as On-Page SE0), but to say that is SEO is misleading because much of SEO is driven by Off-Page SEO strategies not set up on your website.

⌲ Talk to us for the absolute truth about SEO and our unmatched 21-year history with Recruitment SEO.

 

⌲ Read about those plans here.

 

FAQ 30: Can you provide Recruitment Marketing?
