When your company is hiring, you want to find quality help as quickly as possible. Online listings can be effective, but they can also complicate your search with spam bot applicants or by being buried at the bottom of search results. Some of the most effective ways to tell people you’re hiring (especially for multiple positions) are good old fashioned signs.
In competitive hiring markets, you need your company to stand out. Bypass those rushed handwritten signs on printer paper, and opt for these assets instead:
Vinyl banners
Want to make a big statement? Opt for a vinyl banner! These are perfect for conventions and job fairs, and they’re great at catching the eye of potential candidates from across a room. They can also be hung outside your building for full exposure. Pair a vinyl banner with clear copy and great design, and you’re bound to get more eyes on your hiring notice. Vinyl banners are a great investment in your overall branding efforts, so be sure to opt for long-lasting messaging rather than promoting a specific position.
Window clings for all locations
Window clings make your hiring announcements look professional rather than panicked. Customers will see your business as prepared instead of desperate. Your existing customer base often proves to be a great pool of applicants. They already have a connection to your brand, and if they’re looking for a job, they’ll come in with an idea of your company culture. Printed window clings will make a better impression than ‘HELP WANTED’ scrawled on 8×11 sheets of printer paper.
Weatherproof yard signs
If your business doesn’t have a lot of window space, opt for yard signs! Weatherproof yard signs are a smart investment, as they won’t show the same wear and tear as other signage. Yard signs don’t often have as much space on them as other types of signs, so keep the messaging simple. Something as short as “We’re Hiring” alongside your brand logo and a method of contacting your company can work wonders.
Flyers
Flyers are another job fair essential. Pair your brand colors with high quality paper to stand out from other companies looking to hire. Be sure to include clear instructions on how to apply, and include any details that might be pertinent to the roles you’re looking to fill. Flyers can give your brand ubiquity at crowded job fairs; if everyone has one of your flyers in hand, your brand has a better chance of staying top-of-mind.
Stickers
“We’re hiring” stickers can be simple, portable ways to alert the public that you’re hiring. Stickers also have some of the most potential for creative branding, and they can take your messaging almost anywhere. Stickers are great ways to spread your hiring announcement, and they’re especially useful at job fairs.
