What a website administrator does

A website administrator is an in-house or remote employee who keeps a website working, updates and moderates content and looks after security. The duties usually include:

  • smooth operation of the site and control of the server;
  • publishing and checking content, banners and links;
  • making sure domain and hosting fees are paid on time;
  • managing access rights and making website backups;
  • feedback from site users;
  • taking part in search engine optimisation and writing specs for developers.

How we recruit a website administrator: 6 steps

In different companies a website administrator does different work: in one it is close to a content manager, in another to a system administrator. So at the brief we first fix what exactly the person will be responsible for, then follow the steps:

What we check in candidates

The administrator often coordinates developers, designers and editors, so we look at technical skills and personal qualities alike:

AreaWhat we check
Technical skillswork in a CMS; HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript basics; backups, access, security
The site and promotionSEO basics and how search engines work, content management, specs for changes
Personal qualitiesorganisation and attention, a technical mindset, quick decisions when something fails

Website administrator, content manager or web programmer

If the site mainly needs texts, products and images, your role is a content manager. For growth in rankings and traffic, look for an SEO specialist or an internet marketer. New features and complex changes are work for a web programmer. And if the office network and servers come with the site, a system administrator fits better. A website administrator is needed when the site already works and has to be kept in order: content, access, hosting, backups, contact with contractors.

Where we search for website administrators

There are many CVs of such specialists online, but picking a person who combines the technical side and content takes time. We search through CVs on job sites, in our own database, in social networks and professional communities, and by direct search for experienced candidates. In Kyiv and Lviv we hold personal interviews; with candidates from other cities of Ukraine we run interviews online. If the tasks are closer to content, the pool of candidates is wider; if servers and security are involved, the search takes longer.

What we need from you to start

Send these details with the request, and we agree the candidate profile at the brief:

  • the site address, the CMS and where it is hosted;
  • tasks for the first months: content, access, hosting, changes, SEO;
  • whom the person will work with: marketing, developers, designers, editors;
  • work format: office, remote or hybrid, full-time or part-time;
  • the salary range, interview stages and whether a test task is needed.

How do you check candidates?
