Yes, it can be done.

    Note: Google results will vary from user to user. You may not see what I see. I was logged out of Google as well.

    I have to imagine this will be short-lived. Raytheon isn’t more relevant for jobs than HotJobs, Indeed, Dice, Employment Guide, etc. and certainly not more worthy than Cheezhead.com :)

    Also, how many job seekers come to Google and simply type “jobs”. Even the most clueless candidates would enter some type of qualifiying keyword, right? “accounting jobs” or “tech jobs”, etc..

    Popular keyword tools put the number of searches across the Web between 20,000 - 25,000 searches daily - by far the most popular keyphrase in our industry. I’m not discounting the long tail, which is incredibly influential, but there’s no doubt “jobs” is still popular.

    Joel — good catch and it is newsworthy — the only other employer that shows up in the first 100 Google results for jobs is Microsoft. Everyone else is a job-board.

    The Rayjobs ATS prevents their jobs from being indexed and found within the long-tail searches, but they’ll still pick up incremental candidate flow/conversions with this basic SEO piece — 35MM job-related searches monthly on the search engines, and those folks are looking for anything BUT job-board search results….
