What do Human Resources and Vinyl Banners Have In Common?
My brother-in-law works in Human Resources for a large company located in Charleston, South Carolina. Even through a tough economy, his company grew steadily, and they often need to hire a few new employees at the same time to help manage new business accounts as they are acquired.
There are many methods of employee recruitment including placing newspaper ads and listings on career websites such as Monster.com and Jobs.com. But my brother and his organization are quite selective when selecting new employees, and often had to run these ads for long periods of time before coming across worthwhile candidates. And believe me...the cost of re-running these ads was really starting to add up!
Not to mention the fact that as soon as new employees were hired for one account, they were already acquiring new business, requiring them to run more ads yet for future positions. It definitely felt like my brother's company was paying online and newspaper recruitment fees every day!
to the Rescue!
My brother thought long and hard, and made the executive decision to try replacing newspaper and internet ads with a simple, inexpensive vinyl banner which would be displayed on the front of their business building. This custom banner would state simply: "Now Hiring: Inquire Within."
Now being located on a very busy road in downtown Charleston, a large percentage of the community was sure to see this advertisement at very little cost. And what was also advantageous was that as applicants came into the office to inquire about the positions and apply in person, it was easy to do a quick pre-screen for each candidate, making it more likely that more candidates selected for a full interview would be worth their time. And another great perk is that this vinyl banner can be re-used time after time at no additional cost!
Custom Banners Save You Money!
After runnin his experiment, my brother discovered that using a to recruit employees was the way to go. He saved money in many ways - the banner was less expensive than other ways of advertising, he invested far fewer hours into the interview process, and he continued to find top notch employees for his ever-growing company!
