Consider Advertising Needs

Ensure you have completed all prior steps for recruitment before proceeding.

 

External advertising

Advertising to Academic + Non-academic Workers
Free Advertising
Several job boards (such as Indeed, Monster and Workopolis) will automatically share posts from the U of A Careers website soon after it’s posted.
Paid Advertising

Include where you would like to advertise in your Job Posting Request Form. Additionally, Shared Services can provide recommendations for common advertising publications (i.e. LinkedIn), if indicated within your form.

Paid external advertising is determined based on the publication deadlines and the posting cost approval process. Hiring managers may be interested in paying for external advertising to:

  • Target specific industries or candidates with specific expertise
  • Reach foreign nationals and align to requirements for advertising to foreign workers
  • Attract a more diverse candidate pool

For strategic support related to posting traffic analytics or diversity hiring and advertising, your HR Partner can work with the Centre of Expertise within HRHSE to provide guidance before you make a job posting request through Shared Services.
