There is no doubt that marketing plays a huge role in recruiting. With all the noise out there in recruiting, brands have to stand out. With creative job ads you can potentially tap into some new talent sources. You need to attract the attention of people in order to get potential candidates. From our network, we bring you some of the most creative recent job ads:

1. Microsoft Recruiting Ad

This one definitely has our vote. The use of Microsoft’s own authentic office and combined with a zen feeling makes you go “hmmm…..I definitely want to apply to that job”. The picture shows a workplace where people will want to work and that will attract a lot more applications.

2. AMD: Now Hiring Brilliant Minds for Brilliant Pixel

This job ad by AMD really captures the essence of what they do and what they need in terms of hiring. It is super straight forward and clean. Combine that with illustration and amazing graphics you’ve got yourself an awesome job ad!

3. Tangerine:“Come in We’re Hiring”

Tangerine is known for standing out and its amazing branding with banking. The way consumers think about forward banking. This ad was compelling indeed. It’s casual, formal and uses the Tangerine brand as way to stand out.

4. Using Your Employees as Brand Ambassadors: Daniel’s Health

The ad reads “a good teammate is like a four leaf clover, hard to find but lucky to have! We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our growing team! Find out more here.” Daniel’s health brings out their own employees as brand ambassadors. The ad shows the personality of the workplace as well as the team. Great strategy in place here!

5. Uber Using its Own App to Recruit

Uber is known for its unusual marketing tactics. When it comes to recruiting for developers, it’s no different. Anything but ordinary! Uber recently had code challenges on its app to attract new talent. Why not?
