We care about your business
Free advertising for your business
At COREcruitment, we offer more than recruitment. We advertise your business on our website and social media sites. We communicate to over 400,000 people per month and that number is always growing. We want to see your business grow and expand. If your business doesn’t grow, then our business doesn’t grow.
Banner Ads
Once we have successfully placed a candidate within your business, we will then begin to promote your business by placing banner ads on our websites and social media sites. These banners will then link back to your website and draw attention to your business.
Promotional offers
Does your business have a special offer?
When you’re registered with COREcruitment, we want to advertise your special offers. Simply let us know what your promotional offer is, and we’ll list it on our websites and social media sites.
Advertising to our candidates
We reach out to our candidates frequently. We keep them informed of new job openings, and service offerings by our clients. Our aim is grow your business in several ways. We fill our business with experienced staff and advertise your services to our candidate list.
OPEN DAYS
One of our most popular method of attracting candidates is organising an Open Day. Essentially open days are an opportunity for potential members of staff to meet face to face with some of your current team, ask questions and further their understanding of what it is like to work for your business.
Open Days are also a great way to advertise your business to the public. You won’t hire every job seeker that walks through the door, but they may return to your establishment as a customer.
In order for your business to host a successful open day it is important that there is good organisation, communication and coordination. We can help you organise your Open Day and ensure you meet with only qualified candidates
Open Days are beneficial to both the job seeker and employer. It gives an opportunity
for the job seeker to meet people from inside your establishment. It gives them a better understanding of the way your business functions.
Open Days are beneficial to the employer as you get a better insight of the job seeker in a more social setting. You can see how they interact with others, how they present themselves outside of the job setting and also get to meet them face to face, which is a huge advantage when recruiting internationally
