Question

Many companies use the Internet not only to post job openings, but also to provide potential job candidates with information about the company. This allows candidates to decide whether their values and their desired working conditions are a match with what the company can offer.

Using the Internet, search for and choose a company with a "careers" page on its Web site. What does the site tell you about the characteristics and values of the company? Do you believe this Web site is effective in attracting high-quality candidates? Why or why not?

Answer 1

I have selected the careers page of the company HubSpot.

The page mainly talks about the company culture and what are the most common values and qualities that a person should possess to work at the company. They have also spoken about the importance of having a data-driven and customer-oriented approach. They have mentioned the different teams at the company and how they are working together to solve the problems faced by the customers. Employee testimonials are also present on the webpage and they have explained why HubSpot is the right place to be at and how the company has helped them get their dream job. They have posted some nice pictures of the employees involved in different events and the page looks very colorful. They also have blogs written on the careers at HubSpot and how the candidates can make use of them to learn more about the company culture and the recruitment process.

This website is a great example of one of the best careers web pages. They have everything a candidate looks for in a single page during the recruitment process. They have the right amount of content put out in a perfect way. They have not overdone anything and the information provided is effective. They have successfully shown that the company is a fun place to work at and how the company takes care of is employees. The current employees are giving the insights on their experience and the candidates can prepare and apply for a role based on that. The candidate can also easily go through the available jobs and also send an application. The page is very user-friendly and it has all the qualities that can encourage a candidate to apply for a job at HubSpot. Only high-quality candidates can understand the importance of the information they have put on the webpage. So they will get limited number applications but they will be quality ones.
