The Selection Process

The Top 100 process is carried out over a fixed 4 week period using robust and highly objective criteria by a team of independent researchers culminating in the Top 100 retail career sites 2008 report.

Current programme: 2008

Launch date: March 2008

Retail career sites were assessed against the following:

First impressions

When job seekers arrive at your career site are they impressed or disappointed? If you don't engage them on the homepage then the rest is irrelevant.

The application process

Quick and easy or slow and tortuous? Top talent will not put up with poor process so you may wow them with great content but don't let them leave empty handed.

Search engine optimisation

If job seekers can't find your site easily, will they keep trying? Their need for a job will always take precedence over your brand.

Accessibility

How compliant is your career site? In light of recent events compliance is more critical than ever before - are you promoting workforce diversity or just paying it lip service?

Get your own career site report

Any employer can request their own career site report to see how they compare to the leading retailers.  To see if you were included check the Top 100 Retailers A to Z list.
