Eight Examples of Excellent Career Pages in 2022

A well-crafted career page can be the window to the soul of the company, and when done well, it reflects what the company is actually like. This transparent peek is exactly what job seekers are looking for in 2022.
Believe it or not, only a handful of folks are actively looking for a new job or career move, and in this current job market, your career page is their first stop. This is followed by a visit to GlassDoor, chatting (and checking) with their own network, social media scans, and general Google searches.
We’ve brought these eight career pages to our excellence list, based on one or a combination of elements:
Easy to navigate – the career page is found easily from the main page, it loads quickly, flows well, and is mobile friendly
Content – the career page is the throne to transparent content that moves the candidate. It is simple and to the point. It includes company mission and/or core values, culture, perks, and benefits and is written in a true voice, with no buzz words or cheesy jargon.
Authentic visual copy – photos, videos, or vlogs of the real company with real employees are gold here.
Organized search – a search function, a very organized and up-to-date list, and/or filtering options are equal contenders here.
Excellent design – it catches the eye, stays with the brand, is creative and engaging, yet not overwhelming.
Hiring process – the steps, expectations, and/or timeline are clearly laid out.
Location (or remote) details – the policy is clear and purpose-driven (bonus if there is visual content and/or maps)!
Other important additions – hiring status, current projects, employee testimonials or quotes, company traditions, reviews, ratings, awards, company news, or growth information.

8. Wistia
Career Opportunities at Wistia
The visual content on Wistia’s career page is so authentic, we couldn’t help but put this one on our list. Their intent to value each employee is powerful and beckons a feeling of belonging. Their goals and story are told simply, more with less. We also love that they include a space to “drop a line” even if there are no open roles.
“That’s why we foster an environment where everyone is encouraged to bring their unique personalities and skills to the office every single day.”
The problem is, most career pages don’t hold a candle to the ones listed here. An excellent career page doesn’t have to include all of these elements or features, but a combination on a nicely-designed and well thought out career page encourages the right people to apply to your company.
