In today\u2019s recruitment market it can be pretty tricky to stand out from the crowd on a standard job board. When the listings start to fade into each other, the roles responsibilities all look alike and the benefits can\u2019t be distinguished from one to the next, it can be tricky to get a feel for a company\u2019s company culture. Or even their sense of humor! It\u2019s this personal element that many businesses sometimes miss in their advertising of job roles, so we thought we\u2019d highlight our pick of ten creative job ad examples we found around the internet.<\/p>\n

The below ads manage to successfully convey a sense of their business\u2019s identity without disclosing too much at all about the job itself. Most of them rely on intrigue\u2026 And it works! Be sure to let us know your favorites!<\/p>\n

1. Hungry Designers Wanted – Tonic International<\/strong><\/p>\n

At first glance you\u2019d be forgiven for assuming it\u2019s another clever Apple ad, but it\u2019s Tonic International inviting designers (who use Apple products as standard) to think about how hungry for success they really are. A smart way to simultaneously appeal to a designer\u2019s creativity whilst leveraging from their favorite brand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. We\u2019re Looking For Dishwashers – Restaurant Binnen<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Dutch restaurant needed dishwashers \u2013 arguably one of the lesser glamorous roles out there. But what better way to appeal to someone\u2019s penchant for cleaning than to distract them with (fake) lipstick marks on their wine and beer glasses? It accompanied the simple phrase \u2018we\u2019re looking for dishwashers\u2019. Apparently it took them just one week to hire someone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. New Tattoo Artists Wanted – Bergge Tattoo<\/strong><\/p>\n

A very creative ad that encourages immediate engagement from its applicants whilst at the same time tests their technical abilities! In this ad, applicants must carefully fill in the QR code so as to be able to scan and upload the application form. Smart.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Problem Solvers Wanted – Microsoft<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ad below shows how Microsoft embraces the inner geeks with their software engineer job adverts. Bold, effective, and a nifty way to test their skills before they even have the chance to apply!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Life\u2019s Too Short For The Wrong Job \u2013 Jobs In Town<\/strong><\/p>\n

This German job search platform ran a whole series of similar ads to the below to entice more users to use their service. Funny, engaging and visually arresting, we\u2019re sure this one had people uploading their resumes in no time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. If You\u2019re A Medical Transcriptionist Who Doesn\u2019t Mishear \u2018Prednisone\u2019 \u2013 Accolade<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not too often job adverts in the healthcare sector are afforded the opportunity to be too creative, so Accolade did well to introduce some humor into this advertising campaign. We can\u2019t imagine this Indian medical transcription company would have had too many problems sourcing new recruits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

7. McMistake – McDonalds\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

McDonalds decided to go simple for their ad campaign to hire students and those with little-to-no experience. To do so, they create a series of posters displaying the wrong menu item in their iconic packaging. The tagline was simple, everyone makes mistakes!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8. Big Shoes – Times Ascent<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do you get to fill those big shoes? By buying Times Ascent of course. This employment paper keeps it simple, manages to get a smile out of the reader and employs a subtle aspirational concept well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

9. This Agency Is Not A Sweatshop \u2013 Saatchi & Saatchi<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that agency life can be challenging and we love how Saatchi and Saatchi play up to their reputation, even managing to crack a joke about it. This clever pun is likely to appeal to creatives in the know.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

10. Don\u2019t Mention The M \u2013 Burger King<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that McDonalds and Burger King are arch rivals, so what better way to earn a giggle from potential applicants and show they know how to laugh at themselves? The concept implies a complicity that is as cheeky as it is entertaining.<\/p>\n
