• Application Support:
  • Provide tips and resources for job seekers, such as resume templates, interview preparation guides, and professional development content. These resources will encourage more job seekers to apply by boosting their confidence and preparedness.
  • Ensure that the application process is user-friendly by streamlining the steps for submitting applications. Make sure that job seekers don’t face technical difficulties while trying to apply for jobs.

  • Engage employers to offer signing bonuses, referral programs, or exclusive interviews for candidates who apply through the report. This will provide additional incentives for job seekers to submit applications.
  • Provide tailored recommendations for employers on how to best structure their job descriptions, making sure that the applications they receive are from well-qualified candidates.
• Monitoring and A/B Testing:
