After discussing announcements made at the Chrome Developer Summit, the Jobtome team implemented the one-tap sign-up API for the brand’s email job alert subscriptions. They wanted to be sure that users understood they were subscribing for a newsletter rather then signing up for Jobtome services. They conducted an A/B test over the course of one month to measure the impact on subscription rate and analyse returning user data.
Because the one-tap sign up functionality captures the user’s name, Jobtome could personalise email job alert, something that wasn’t possible before. This better user experience helped increased average returns per user in a 30-day period by 15%. And because the new functionality accurately captured each user’s email address and prevented typos, hard bounces from Gmail dropped by 35%. Overall, the test produced outstanding results, with Jobtome’s newsletter subscription rate increasing by 21%.
Jobtome subsequently rolled the solution out across several countries, a move that has produced very positive subscription rate uplifts: 18% in Ireland, 25% in Germany, 30% in Russia, 16% in Argentina, 15% in Switzerland, 8% in Colombia and 12% in Canada.
