Effective Recruitment Advertising
The Recruitment Advertisement
Very often, most advertisements for recruitment hold back more than they should tell, don't advertise the position, fail to point out the benefits and, more often than not, don't provide the pay details.
The idea behind effective recruitment advertising is to "seek out right candidates, take out the wrong ones"
In your recruitment ad, you should apply the same method a retailer uses to attract potential customers to buy or find out about his/her product.
Few things your recruitment ad must do:
Write more effective copy (get their attention)
Start with a benefit headline or a commanding, interesting attention-getter like:
• Here are 2 reasons why you should join our crew
• Show us your tested ability in sales and marketing
• Highly Wanted! ... a capable research assistant who wants to contribute to our development
Pictures attract the eye, so if you have a logo, use it.
• A diagram of the job makes it easier for the right candidate to identify with the job position.
Here are a few examples of our customers ads posted on notice boards:
