Multi-brand
Twenty career sites means twenty chances to get it wrong
If you run hiring for a multi-brand company, you already know the math nobody says out loud. Twenty brands means twenty career sites. Twenty career sites means twenty sets of job postings, twenty apply flows, twenty places where a pay range can go stale or a link can rot.
And here's the part that stings: each of those sites is probably fine on its own. The brand teams care. The recruiters care. But nobody's job is to look at all twenty at once, every day, the way a candidate does.
The audit that never happens
Most multi-brand teams run a careers-site review once a year, maybe twice. It's a spreadsheet, a shared drive, and a lot of goodwill. By the time the findings get compiled, a third of them are already out of date.
Meanwhile the sites keep changing. A brand launches a new hiring push. A vendor updates a template. A state law takes effect in one of the eleven states where you hire. The spreadsheet doesn't know any of that happened.
What breaks first
In our experience, the same three things go wrong across brand families. Pay ranges drift out of compliance on the brands nobody's watching closely. Postings stay live weeks after the req closed, collecting applications nobody will ever read. And apply flows break quietly after a template update, so candidates bounce and the brand just looks like it has a sourcing problem.
None of these show up in a dashboard. They show up in a complaint, a screenshot from a hiring manager, or a letter you didn't want to get.
The fix isn't more meetings
The answer isn't a bigger audit spreadsheet or a quarterly call where twenty brand leads read status updates. It's continuous, outside-in monitoring that treats every career site like a candidate would: visit it, read the postings, try to apply, and flag what's wrong.
Twenty sites shouldn't mean twenty jobs to maintain. It should mean one place where you see all twenty, all the time, with the breaks surfaced before anyone else finds them.
