Introduction

Recruitment Marketing is keen to support mobile audiences, and it is now possible to generate QR codes.

QR codes in Recruitment Marketing can be used in the following situations:

Referrals: Include QR code on the back of business cards to allow existing employees to fast-track candidates. Taking this one step further, QR codes can also be used to promote engagement from Management and/or leadership teams by giving them the opportunity to share jobs with talent they themselves have identified and/or sourced.

Events: Print QR codes on promotional items or swag, flyers, or booth signage to allow attendees to access jobs there and then, or later at a time and place that suits them better, without having to wait in line to speak to someone.

Hidden jobs: QR codes allow fast, easy access to hidden jobs.

In-store: Print QR codes on posters or present at cash register/checkout to give retail candidates an opportunity view and/or apply for jobs quickly and easily while the employer/store/brand is still front-of-mind.
