In an analysis of nearly 1 million website sessions on staffing company websites, I looked at the importance of returning website traffic and then I dove into the different types of website traffic and which category converts best on staffing company websites.
The last area that I looked at for goal conversion percentage came in examining website traffic on desktops, mobile devices and tablets.
Don’t Ignore the Importance of Mobile Traffic!
Don’t give users on your website a reason to leave your staffing website! If your website isn’t mobile-friendly, then website users will get frustrated and find another company that’s easier to navigate.
In this survey, more than 32 percent of the website traffic came from mobile devices or tablets. If a user can’t do something on your website (apply for a job) because they are on a mobile device, they will get frustrated and find a staffing company who has that functionality on its website.
The Takeaway: Have a website that is mobile-friendly!
Bonus tip: Users are spending 24 percent of their media time on mobile devices but only eight percent of current advertising spending is on mobile devices. First, make sure your website is mobile-optimized. That difference in user behavior and advertising spending implies a great opportunity for staffing companies to get in front of potential candidates and clients.
