A time when billboards were possible to find only advertising products or services of different companies, or more rarely social advertising is long gone.

Such advertising campaigns rely mostly on the selection is not very highly qualified personnel. So, a sports store “Intersport” last year held a campaign “Bring a friend”. Its essence lies in the fact that the sellers, who are already working, offered to give to work friends. And get a $20. Of course, if the friend will take on the job. Thus it was possible to find 70 new employees.

However, such campaigns are powerless when it comes to hiring highly skilled or experienced staff. An example is the experience of the Moscow Satchers, a subsidiary of Swiss Swiss Realty Group (SRG). In November last year she placed in the press advertising, where its top executives posed on the background of half-naked girls. The caption said, “A gentleman is expected to rise when a lady enters a room” (“the Gentleman should stand when a lady enters the room”). In the second part of a promotion Satchers launched under the Windows of the main competitors of the car with the words: “Winter… Time to change job”, “Tired of your f….K n Boss, Change It” (“Winter… it’s time to change roboto”, “Boss you got?

However, the message was not simple, and encrypted in a special code. In turn, the company was just creative people. Such candidates she managed to attract. Because of the location of the interview learned, only those who managed to decipher the coded message.
