Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Short-Form Application

A QR on a factory gate or community centre poster links to a three-field application: name, phone number, and available start date. Follow-up by phone within 24 hours.

2. Site Tour Video

A QR links to a 90-second virtual site tour: the production floor, welfare facilities, and a shift in the life of a current employee. Reduces no-shows to assessment days by setting realistic expectations.

3. Shift and Pay Information

A QR links to a clear breakdown of available shifts: day, night, rotating, and weekend. Hours, pay rates, overtime rules, and shift patterns in plain language. Candidates self-select the right fit.

4. Assessment Day Booking

A QR links to an assessment day booking form. Candidates who complete the short-form application are invited by text with a QR to book their slot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a short-form QR application for manufacturing roles?

High-volume manufacturing recruitment needs speed. A three-field QR form converts opportunistic job seekers who would not return to fill a long form.

Should a factory gate job poster QR collect a CV?

No for entry-level production roles. CV collection adds friction and CV content is less predictive than assessment performance for these roles.
