Encourage company websites to add a "/jobs" page redirect.

Encourage company websites to add a "/jobs" page redirect. — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Simplify & harmonise job searching on organisations' websites. Organisations might call 'jobs' by a variety of names: Careers, Vacancies, Recruitment, Employment, Work for us, Work with us etc. A /jobs redirect lets them call it whatever they like while making it easier to find for jobseekers.

Additional details

I think a central push might encourage implementation. Currently organisations' websites are a bit piecemeal in terms of where they hide their vacancies page(s). Some don't have a dedicated page at all and instead put job adverts in 'news'. This seems a bit inefficient. It seems daft not to make it as easy as possible for those seeking jobs to be able to uncover them more easily. If voluntary it might not happen, hence suggesting a role for parliamentary persuasion.
