Recruitment Advertising Effectiveness 101

Let’s start by looking at the various types of recruitment advertising and then review a simple strategy for comparing them. Many of the gurus out there will tell you which strategy for finding candidates is the best – most of the time, these gurus are telling us which is best, because they have some vested interest. I will tell you that they are all the best – when they work for you and your organization. There are no silver bullets - analysis and metrics are the only way to understand what works best for your recruiting efforts.
