Recruitment communications with a difference

First Choice Haircutters

These guys are so neat. They ran a TV commercial with the tag line 'A Chair and hair is waiting for you'. The ad was simple showing colorful hair being cut over a chair. I couldn't quite believe a hair salon could actually do recruitment ads on TV! Wake up Fortune 500s!

Creative Niche Inc

This is a staffing firm specialising in placing ad people like me. They have open house sessions and recruiting events at their office. They provide guidance to new candidates in job search. They also have this wonderful external referral program which pays $100 to anyone who refers their name to candidates.

Government funded programs in Canada

Any new comer to Canada thirsting for employment could benefit from a vast array of programs supported by the government. This includes Self Marketing for Employment programs, work place simulation program, assessments and subsidies for employers to hire new immigrants. Now, all these don't necessarily guarantee you a job that pays your bills but for someone eager to make their mark these are great initiatives to benefit from!
