Other Recruitment Ideas

Help Wanted Signs – believe it or not these still work!  A sign in your window or a poster on a well-accessed bulletin board will still bring people through the doors. 

Word of Mouth – let your employees know you’re looking.  Let other business owners know you’re looking.  If you put “the word out” you will generate interest and people.

Social Media – with things options such as Facebook, Linked In and Twitter, many young professionals are relying Social Media to find the best work options. While this doesn’t work for all businesses or all job seekers, it can certainly connect people in new ways.

Job / Career Fairs – Career Resource Centres, NSCC and Universities often organize Job Fairs to allow employers and job seekers to network.  These are often done annually or bi-annually, take up just one day of your time and reach a whole new market of people.  Larger employers also host their own Job Fairs to allow prospective employees to see their work environment and promote various opportunities their company has to offer.

Other –  Radio, TV Guide (local cable), Kijiji, Churches or Community Center bulletin boards.
