RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING PROCESS
The head office Marketing
& HR departments have reviewed the process leading
to the production of all recruitment advertising across
the group.
The results of this
meeting is that we will require the following timetable
in order to guarantee prompt inclusion in the recruitment
pages of the press….
1) All requests for
recruitment advertising to be received by the HR Department
no later than the close of business on Wednesday of any
given week.
2) The HR Department
will then source a suitable text (from our online library)
for the vacancy and agree this with the manager who has
requested the advertisement to appear.
This must be completed
no later than the close of business on Thursday of any
given week.
Also, please indicate
to the HR Department the newspaper titles (or at least
the geographical areas) in which the advertisement must
appear.
3) The HR Department
will then pass the approved text and requested newspaper
titles to the Marketing Department so that an advertisement
can be produced and bookings made with the relevant titles.
4) The completed advertisement will be supplied to the
chosen media on the Friday of any given week.
The reason for “formalising”
this process is to prevent the current “last minute”
culture of producing recruitment advertising very close
to deadline, and also to alleviate confusion as to how
to go about placing a recruitment advert.
This should allow a
more controlled and coherent approach, and thus avoid
the potential for mistakes, badly scripted copy and overall
confusion. It will also help to best use the group’s
resource, which is finite, and must therefore be utilised
efficiently.
It is important that
the process begins with the HR Department, who must be
aware of any recruitment requests.
Any recruitment advertising
requests that fall outside the above timetable may miss
inclusion at the first available opportunity.
Any questions, please
call Jeremy Cuff or Caira Skuse at Head Office.
