Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Job Poster QR

A QR on a physical job poster at a transport hub, campus, or shop window links to the live job listing page. Candidates apply immediately on their phone while the motivation is high.

2. CV Upload

A QR links to the speculative CV submission form. Candidates who do not see a matching live role submit their details and are notified when a suitable vacancy arises.

3. Candidate Portal

A QR on interview confirmation letters links to the candidate portal: interview preparation tips, company profile, interview format, and documents to bring.

4. Referral Programme

A QR on employee referral programme materials links to the referral submission form. Current employees submit referrals from their phone without navigating the HR system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should job poster QR codes link to the live listing or a general jobs page?

Directly to the specific listing. Candidates who land on a general jobs page often leave without applying. One scan, one job, one application.

Can a QR poster work if the job fills before the poster comes down?

Yes if the listing page updates to "closed". Redirect closed listings to similar vacancies rather than a 404.
