Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• Be willing to try something new, but have your recruitment ad agency do a test run first to make sure it works for your business.
• Don't spend your recruitment advertising budget in one place. Advertise in several venues to be seen by a larger audience.
• Placing ads in areas other than standard classifieds sections will help you reach the passive job seeker -- people who are not actively seeking employment, but may be swayed to apply to your company.
