How to trial our new Quick Apply feature.

Quick Apply is designed to increase your application by removing friction and reducing candidate abandon job application.

What is Quick Apply?

Quick Apply is a streamlined application option on the WORK180 job site that allows candidates to apply for roles in just a few clicks. By removing unnecessary friction, you can capture high-intent talent before they drop off. Research indicates that approximately 60% of candidates abandon job applications due to overly complex or lengthy forms. Quick Apply solves this by keeping the initial connection simple and effective.

Trial Our New Quick Apply Feature

We are excited to offer this trial to our Endorsed Employers. This is an excellent opportunity to test the feature on your hardest-to-fill roles and provide feedback that will shape the official launch.

How Quick Apply Works

  1. Candidate Selection: Instead of being redirected to an external ATS, the candidate selects “Quick Apply” directly on your job ad.

  2. Essential Data Only: The system collects only the essentials—name, email, phone, resume, and key screening questions (e.g., right to work).

  3. Direct Delivery: Applications are sent immediately to you via email and avaliable in Progress Hub to your staff with access.

  4. Simple Management: You review and update candidate statuses (shortlisted, interview, etc.) within a simple, intuitive workflow.

Benefits for Employers

  • Boost Application Volume: Enabling Quick Apply provides an evidence-based incentive to opt in, typically increasing your total applicant pool by 10%.

  • Higher Conversion Rates: Only 45% of people who visit a standard recruitment form successfully convert. Quick Apply minimizes this drop-off by requiring a WORK180 account, ensuring you get quality over "spray-and-pray" volume.

  • Mobile-First Accessibility: Candidates often browse roles on the go—79% of job seekers use social media and mobile devices in their search. Quick Apply allows a candidate to apply in minutes while standing in a supermarket queue or commuting.

  • Targeted Diversity: Lengthy applications disproportionately affect underrepresented talent, particularly women, who may face higher "time poverty" or lower confidence when navigating complex portals.

  • Strategic Control: Unlike generic "Easy Apply" features on other platforms that can lead to high noise and low callback rates, WORK180 Quick Apply brings you candidates already aligned with your commitment to inclusion. You can turn this on for all roles or specifically for difficult-to-fill positions to improve diverse representation.

Benefits for Candidates

  • Fast and Simple: Reduced fields mean fewer clicks and higher confidence.

  • Mobile-Friendly: Easy application using the most recent resume saved in their WORK180 profile.

  • Reduced Friction: No need to create new accounts or navigate external career sites.

When to Trial Quick Apply

We recommend trialing this feature if:

  • You are seeing high job views but low application conversion rates.

  • You have hard-to-fill roles or need to increase diverse applicant volume.

  • Your internal ATS is not currently mobile-optimized, leading to candidate drop-off.
