Clever bit of recruitment advertising by our buddies at MatchHR, using the song titles of a Spotify playlist to communicate a recruitment message. Probably not a scalable method, but undeniably clever and a great example of being creative in your recruiting.
Issue #226 published 7 Feb 2021
Nothing new in sneaking in recruitment ads in the source code but this idea was clever timing which foresaw that traffic to whitehouse.gov was going to spike following the inauguration of Joe Biden as President of the United States. Well done the recruiter who suggested putting it in there, love to know who that might be. A brainfooder? I hope so. H/T brainfooder Bas van de Haterd for the share in the fb group

Some of LinkedIn’s content was really good this year. Even some of the curation 😉. This post was one of the best, picking out some great examples of creative job posts which any of us can really get on with tomorrow. As a good a listicle as there was in 2020.
Issue #220 published 27 Dec 2020
Superb visualisation of where ad money has been going over the past 40 years, decline of TV is obvious, as is that of newspapers, losing out to big tech (main reason why broadcast media is so anti big tech…). Always opportunities for those who are early to new channels - whats next for us in this space? Worth a brainfood live early in the new year I think.
Issue #218 published 13 Dec 2020
Pretty spectacular assembly of creative job advertising. Love some of these, especially the in-game advertising in Animal Crossing. Some very easy-to-try examples also - get inspired and give one of these ideas a try. H/T to brainfooder Denys Dinkevych for the share
Issue #209 published 11 Oct 2020
I believe brainfooder Katrina Kibben mentioned this point in Brainfood Live a couple weeks ago - which caused me to look a bit deeper in the brainfood content queue and I fished out this post in response. Pretty much spot on. Must read if you’re writing job adverts
Issue #199 published 2 Aug 2020
Fascinating story on a platform ‘nudging’ employers to offer flexibility in job postings by repositioning the option to do so on the job creation flow, which in turn led to increased applicant rates after the job was posted. Can be read from an information architecture / UX point of view, and / or from the job seeker sentiment perspective. Either way, it’s definitely brainfood. H/T brainfooder Bas van de Haterd for the share
Issue #191 published 7 Jun 2020

1000 Different People, The Same Words
RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING
Some interesting primary research from our buddies at Textio here. It turns out, people in the same companies use the same words in their job postings. The interpretation is that this maybe an important cultural signifier. Don’t underestimate the impact of copy / paste though. Thanks to brainfooder John Sumser for the share.

Great rejoiner from my buddy and long time brainfooder Rob Long on the value of free job posting sites. Don’t be a snob: here’s why you should use free job boards, and why advice against it is flawed.
Issue #59 published 23 Apr 2020

Why Maslow Thinks Your Job Ads Suck
RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING
Great post from Workable’s Matt Buckland on incorporating Maslow’s psychology of human needs framework into your job ad. Likely many of us already do some elements of this, but equally likely not in the right order of priority. Have a read.
Issue #131 published 23 Apr 2020

Issue #102 published 23 Apr 2020
Important lawsuit against Facebook, with big implications for targeted ads. Facebook job ads can now be exposed to search, on the basis that not doing so would be exclusionary. This means more irrelevant applications, less value for employers paying for the ad. Begs important questions on the nature of job discovery - is everything that isn’t an open advert inherently exclusionary?
Issue #143 published 23 Apr 2020
Facebook’s ‘pivot to privacy’ was always going to have huge implications for recruiters. Earlier this year, it was the end of Graph Search; now it’s big changes on advertising. This is a great overview post by Jelmer Koppelmans - must read.

Brainfooder Rob Kelly, CEO of Ongig, has been putting together an amazing resource on the artefact which still powers most of the recruitment world - the Job Description. History, method, case study - it’s all here. PS: H/T Pedro Oliveira for first bringing this to my attention.

Great to see The Muse bring on a data scientist to blog about job ad performance. Some interesting analysis here on word count and how it correlates to CTR. Thanks brainfooder Chris Raw for the share

This Is How Ad Retargeting Works
RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING
Amazing twitter thread from Chris Yiu which is not only educational about a technology / technique which is readily applied to recruitment, but also a mature appraisal of the dangers of crude legislative corrections. Read until the end. 
Issue #88 published 23 Apr 2020
Forget the innocuous headline, this is big news from Indeed. Job adverts published by 3rd party recruiters will no longer be appearing in organic search as of next year. Along with GfJ prioritising direct employer ads, it’s clear that the era of the ‘blind agency advert’ is coming to an end. If you’re a recruiter who posts ads, you need to read this post.

Tactical/Operational Wargamer
RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING
How about this for a job? Literally play games for a living. Scenario modelling of this type - a form of training AI - is purported to be the silver lining the clouds of workforce automation. For now though, this looks like a dream job for some gamer out there. 
Issue #65 published 23 Apr 2020
With the news that ‘look-a-like’ audience targeting has been ruled illegal under GDPR rules, it’s probably best to get in on facebook advertising whilst the getting is good. This excellent post from Vox Media shows us what makes an effective facebook advert.

Google for Jobs - G4J - was touted as the Indeed killer when it was first launched, but it seems that the early promise has given way to the trough of the disillusionment. What is going on? Fine speculation by Chris Russell here.
