Call-to-Action

Call-to-Action (CTA) is the means by which an anonymous visitor to your careers-related landing pages demonstrates an interest in your company as an employer and makes themselves known to that employer.

A CTA takes the form of a button or link that commands attention and can ask a visitor to enter their email address in exchange for a free download or to secure their place on an email list. A CTA can also be used as the first step in the job application process with the help of our ATS integrations.
