Recruitment search splits into role × location × salary × skill, and job-board feeds plus salary data cover the whole matrix. The defensible layer is your own placement data: real salary bands, real time-to-hire and honest skill demand, which candidates and hiring managers both search for.
Every page must earn its index slot by answering something the parent page cannot.

Job pages that expire and 404 by the hundred. Rankings collapse and the site becomes a graveyard of dead listings with no durable surface underneath.
Before anything is generated we rank the page families by intent, competitive difficulty and how complete your data is. Build order follows this table, not keyword volume.
| Page family | Representative query | Intent | Difficulty | Build priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Jobs /jobs/{role}/{location} | hr, recruitment & workforce salary in my city | Transactional | Medium | 100 |
Salary /salary/{role}/{location} | hr, recruitment & workforce jobs hiring now | Comparison | Low | 86 |
Careers /careers/{role}/skills | skills needed for hr, recruitment & workforce | Comparison | Medium | 82 |
Hiring /hiring/{role}/guide | how to hire a hr, recruitment & workforce | Transactional | Low | 79 |
Your addressable surface is not a keyword list, it is a set of entity axes taken from your own data. Multiply them and you get the theoretical maximum; the index gate decides how much of it deserves a URL.
78 role × 10 locationProgrammatic pages are only as defensible as the data behind them. These are the sources we ingest before a template is written.
Roles filled, salary bands, time-to-hire, skills requested.
Proprietary market intelligence that job boards cannot publish.
Current openings with structured attributes.
Freshness for job search surfaces.
Skill adjacency and demand trends.
Powers career-path content that captures candidates earlier.
JobPosting with validThroughRequired for Google Jobs and forces honest expiry handling.
Occupation with estimatedSalarySalary pages surface directly and are heavily cited.
Dataset for market reportsMakes placement statistics quotable with methodology.
Each template answers a different question. If two templates would answer the same one, we consolidate instead of publishing both.
/jobs/{role}/{location}/jobs/devops-engineer/dublinActive job search.
Live vacancies with a fallback to market data.
Two things decide whether a scaled surface survives: how the URLs nest, and what stops a page being born when the data is not there.
IF unique_facts_from("ATS placement data") < 11SKIP — the URL is never generated. No page, no thin cluster, no cleanup later.
IF rows_from("Live vacancy feed") IS EMPTYRENDER parent hub instead and 301 the child pattern into it.
IF query_overlap(new_page, existing_page) > 0.7CONSOLIDATE — extend the existing URL rather than publishing a near-duplicate.
IF source_row.updated_at older than the refresh windowFLAG for regeneration; the page keeps serving but drops out of the priority sitemap.
IF schema fields cannot be filled from real dataOMIT the schema block. Markup never states something the visible page cannot.
IF page passes gate AND hr, recruitment & workforce guardrails clearPUBLISH into the next release tranche, not all at once.
This is the actual gate we run before a URL is generated. Toggle what your page would have and watch the verdict change.
Borderline. A human reviews the sample page before the family ships.
Every hr, recruitment & workforce page we generate has to clear 80 before it enters the sitemap. That single rule is why these sets survive scaled-content reviews.
Fixed scope, fixed price. You own the data contract, the templates and the pipeline at the end of the engagement.
A normalised schema across ats placement data, live vacancy feed, skills taxonomy, with required fields, validation rules and the fill rate you need before generation starts.
One template per intent — /jobs/{role}/{location}, /salary/{role}/{location}, /careers/{role}/skills, /hiring/{role}/guide — each with its own H1 logic, fact blocks and internal-link rules.
The scoring rule that decides which of the ~780 theoretical combinations become URLs. Typically 27% clear it on the first pass.
JobPosting with validThrough + Occupation with estimatedSalary + Dataset for market reports generated from the same source fields the page renders, so markup and content can never disagree.
Hub, spoke and sibling links generated from the data relationships, not hand-maintained menus — no orphans at any tranche size.
Tranche-by-tranche publishing with indexation checkpoints, so the surface grows at a rate Google's scaled-content systems read as normal.
Regeneration triggers tied to source-data changes, plus lastmod handling so recrawls are earned rather than requested.
Search Console segmentation per pattern, so you can kill an underperforming template instead of guessing at the whole set.
Defaults are conservative starting points, not promises. Change every field to your own numbers — the formula is shown so you can check it.
Blended candidate and client value; agencies should split these funnels.
Delivery patterns from real builds, described by mechanism rather than by client name. We publish named results only with written permission and dated figures.
Traffic collapsing whenever vacancy volume dips.
Permanent role × location salary and career pages built from placement data, with live vacancies layered on top.
A durable base that survives hiring cycles, plus clean expiry handling.
Each niche gets its own data contract, query set and page blueprint — the category page is the map, these are the territories.
