Promotion Goals

Huntly's target audience consists of employers seeking candidates for their companies and posting job openings on Huntly. Thus,
our tasks were as follows:

  1. Optimize the website to meet the needs of the target audience, attracting the first employers in the USA.
  2. Increase visibility and organic traffic to boost income
    from successful job placements.

Team Actions

The recruitment niche is saturated with competitors,
so we first thoroughly analyzed the competition and website structure.
At the start of the project, Huntly.ai had only two main categories.
We recommended expanding the structure to meet the high standards
of the competitive environment. The partner quickly implemented
our recommendations, allowing us to successfully execute
changes and achieve results.

After analyzing user queries, we gathered a semantic core and created technical tasks for content creation, which the Huntly team executed. This resulted in high-quality and useful content for site visitors.

An important part was establishing a blog. We knew the recruiting niche required constant knowledge updates and experience sharing. Huntly focused on articles that address real problems specialists face in their work.

Topics include the most effective talent search strategies, how to conduct technical interviews, and the latest trends in IT recruiting. Each article is researched and written with up-to-date data and practical advice. After implementation,
the blog presents the most relevant topics
