Hilariously creative job advert draws in artistic candidates

Writing a compelling and informative job advert is part and parcel of the recruitment process, but gaining interest from talent means recruiters and HR increasingly have to don their marketing hats.

A recent Reddit thread has bought to light the clever construction of an advert for a Graphic Designer at a Student Publication.

Making their needs for a candidate evident, the image includes a hand drawn stick man, the infamous comic sans text and a badly handwritten “PLEASE” next to a “HELP” button.

The ad appears to be posted in a newspaper and gained glowing comments. Both can be seen below.
