Recruitment SEO Step 9: Duplicate your job content sparingly elsewhere on the web
OK, so I recognise for some recruitment niches, recruiters have no option but to have jobs on job boards, but the plain truth is when you give other sites your jobs, you're making competition for your site. You are giving other sites your content to build their rankings in favour of yours.
Mitigate where you can with the following:
- Give your site the jobs a day or week earlier than other sites.
- See the post on stopping your jobs from being scrapped and used by sites you don't know.
- See the post about backing your jobs with marketing but marketing your jobs, not jobs, on other sites.
- Track your jobs and where you post them; when you don't see a return from that source, wait to send them there again.
