UKNM: Recruitment via "We are hiring!!" links?

[Sean Phelan]

I'm thinking about starting a modest recruitment drive for

technical/creative/commercial staff via a "We are hiring..." link on our

public site.  However, I am a bit concerned that this may lead to a

massive influx of calls, CVs, etc. and that we'll suffer from adverse

selection (ie. the people we most want are least likely to apply, and

vice versa).


I think it is one of those things that, if done badly or without

sufficient forethought, could be a public relations blunder.


Does anybody have experience of trying to recruit this way?  (I'm sure

we ALL have opinions on this, and I hope nobody will be offended that

I am specifically asking for real-life experiences).  Of of being recruited

this way?


Cheers

Sean
