| Platform | WordPress with a custom category and tag architecture |
| Base | Darjeeling, West Bengal |
The brief
undefined
Candidates in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Siliguri and Sikkim are often the last to hear about central and state recruitment, because most national job portals barely cover them. The site had to do two things at once: cover big national exams (UPSC, SSC, railways, banking) well enough to compete on hard facts, and carry regional recruitment that North Bengal, Sikkim and North East candidates rarely see elsewhere.
How we approached the build
undefined
Information architecture first
We mapped categories before designing: government jobs, private jobs, state desks, results and admit cards, so every post has one obvious home and a predictable URL.
Templates that match how candidates read
Recruitment notices, results and admit cards each got their own article template, from full vacancy breakdowns to fast answer-first results and exam-day logistics.
Trust built into the template
Every article carries a source-verification line and a last-verified date by default, so trust signals are structural rather than an editor’s memory.
Utility pages that earn traffic
An age calculator, photo and signature resizer and PDF compressor solve real form-filling problems and link naturally into recruitment content.
What we built
undefined
| Layer | What it does |
|---|---|
| Category and tag system | Government jobs, private jobs, state desks and qualification tags such as 10th pass, graduate and B.Tech |
| Regional desks | Dedicated West Bengal, Sikkim and North Bengal sections edited separately from the pan-India feed |
| Organisation hub pages | Standing profile pages for recurring recruiters such as WBPSC, SSC and SPSC |
| Tool pages | Age calculator, photo and signature resizer, PDF compressor |
| Schema and discovery | Google for Jobs markup generated centrally through the plugin layer |
| Editorial trust layer | Named editors, a published verification process and a standing independent-publisher disclaimer |
Why the structure matters for search
undefined
Job-alert content ages fast and is copied often, so the sites that hold their rankings add something the official notice does not have: local context, honest guidance and complete vacancy tables. We built the templates around that principle, matching reference portals on hard facts and adding labelled, non-invented context on top.
The result is a working editorial product, not just a template: an About page that names the people behind it, regional desks most national portals skip, and tools that keep candidates on the site.
