How and where to use keywords
For a job seeker, it is recommended to use keywords in all marketing communications. That includes CVs, cover letters, profiles, and interview follow-up letters. Communicating a message of who the job seeker is and what value/knowledge they can bring is an important factor.
How does “Profile Visibility” work on Bayt.com?
Let’s say an employer is interested in hiring a Digital Marketing Specialist. Using Bayt.com CV Search, they will type in the search query. For example, they might type “Digital marketing and social media” in the search box and hit enter.
Based on these keywords, the relevant job seeker profiles will appear in a list in front of them, from which the employer can pick and choose for further screening and, eventually, hiring.
If you have a profile on Bayt.com and it contains the keywords that the employer is searching for, then you will appear in the search results and be among the candidates they will consider for their job openings.
Keep in mind, however, that the employer can set additional filters when searching for job seekers, based on their own hiring needs and requirements. Some of these filters may include years of experience, location, degree, CV freshness, and more.
This means that the specific search criteria and filters, that the employers set, will determine which profiles appear in the search results and be considered for job opportunities.
