Have you looked at your organization’s recruiting Web site lately, the way a job applicant might?
Recruiting sites can benefit from the same basic design principles that apply to all Web pages — they must informative, eye-catching and easy to read.

- Is the page visually appealing?

- Are there too many different fonts being used?
- Does the site have a similar look and feel as everything your organization does (i.e., your company’s logo, ads and signage)?
