Overview
SEO (search engine optimization) helps your job posts appear in search results when candidates look for jobs online.
It works by using clear, relevant keywords that match what job seekers are searching for.
Why SEO matters for hiring
Candidates typically search using:
job titles (like “Sales Manager”)
skills or roles from their experience
common industry keywords
If your job post includes those keywords, it’s more likely to appear in search results and attract applicants.
How Wizehire uses SEO
Wizehire may update or suggest changes to your job title to:
improve visibility in search results
match common job seeker search terms
increase the number of qualified applicants
💡 Helpful note: These updates are designed to help your job get found, not change the role itself.
Handling Unavailable Job Titles
If the exact job title you need isn’t listed in the dropdown menu during the job creation process, follow these steps:
Select "Custom Job": Enter "Custom Job" as the title to proceed with creating your ad. This placeholder allows you to move forward without being restricted by the dropdown options.
Edit the Title Later: You can customize the job title in subsequent steps to reflect the exact role you’re hiring for, such as "Client Services Director" or "Room Inspector."
