Most recently, iCIMS co-hosted a Webinar on best practices in recruitment search engine marketing and the candidate experience.

The Webinar series titled, "Identifying Opportunities in Job Search: Using Keywords and Competitive Research Tools to Uncover Opportunities," taught clients how search engine marketing and competitive research can be used to improve the candidate experience and overall recruitment efforts. Wil Reynolds, founder of SEER Interactive, a leading independent Search Engine Optimization company, led the discussion. During the Webinar, Reynolds explained how candidates use search tool bar suggestions to locate job opportunities and gave insight on the value of search engine rankings.

According to industry experts such as Reynolds, understanding SEO and applying best practices is crucial in raising company visibility and Career Center traffic.

"The SEO Webinar was the most popular and well-attended Webinar in iCIMS' history," said Andrew Curtis, iCIMS Director of Customer Support. "Our partner at SEER Interactive showed clients how they can leverage existing Internet tools and technology within the iCIMS Talent Platform to broadcast their recruitment brand and expand their candidate reach."
