How It Works

Our proven process for delivering results

1

Discover & Audit

We audit your HR recruitment website, competitor backlink profiles, and top-performing keywords to identify authority gaps and target audiences. Together we set clear KPIs (e.g., candidate-intent keywords, employer branding visibility, referral traffic) and prioritize niches like ATS integrations, diversity hiring, or executive search.

2

Custom Link Strategy

We design a bespoke link plan that balances safe white-hat editorial placements, high-authority HR publications, and targeted industry directories or job boards. You choose the risk profile and channels (digital PR, guest posts, HARO, niche forums) that align with your growth and compliance needs.

3

Content & Asset Production

Our team creates recruitment-focused assets-thought leadership, data-driven studies, employer brand case studies, and contributor articles-optimized for outreach and linkability. We collaborate on subject matter, provide interview support, and adapt assets for multiple placements to maximize reach.

4

Outreach & Link Acquisition

We execute manual outreach to HR publications, industry blogs, edu partners, and niche HR tech sites to secure contextual, dofollow placements and integrations. We also diversify with local and sector-specific links (job boards, association sites, Web 2.0 or optional advanced channels) to build a resilient backlink profile.

5

Measure, Report & Scale

You receive monthly reports on acquired links, ranking improvements for recruitment keywords, referral traffic, and candidate conversion signals so we can see real business impact. Based on results we refine priorities, scale successful tactics, and continuously optimize link velocity and content for hiring seasonality.
