Questions, answered.AOV, context & using this research7 answers
In this category
How should a permanent recruitment ad distinguish employer requests from job-seeker applications?
Robert Half’s US full-time staffing page asks clients for hiring details and qualifies submissions for its client service. Label the destination accordingly and separate employer hiring consultations from candidate applications. A form completion does not establish a vacancy brief was accepted or a hire made.
Why should permanent recruitment copy distinguish direct hire from temporary staffing?
ASA defines direct hire as recruitment for permanent employment with the client, distinct from temporary assignments through a staffing agency. Make the advertised employment arrangement explicit, and keep permanent placement outcomes separate from assignment starts when comparing campaign results.
Does promoting a permanent vacancy prove that the recruitment campaign made a placement?
Robert Half describes promoting the role and company, finding matches and supporting the hiring journey. Measure the employer’s confirmed hiring outcome separately from role promotion or applicant interest. Advertising a vacancy establishes activity, not an accepted offer or a completed permanent placement.
Which milestones should follow a matched candidate in permanent recruitment reporting?
Robert Half describes recommended matches, interview scheduling and progress toward an offer. Keep those milestones separate in the report, with the client-confirmed outcome recorded later. A recommended profile or scheduled interview does not establish that the employer offered or filled the role.
