Recruitment (jobs) advertising
All recruitment advertising should be arranged through your Recruitment Assistant in the Recruitment Team, Human Resources. For information regarding publications, deadlines, cost and advice, please contact recruitment@glasgow.ac.uk.
Research (volunteers) advertising
SMRS can also support the placement of advertising to help recruit research volunteers. If you would like some advice about advertising options and required budgets, please email brand@glasgow.ac.uk.
Monitoring effectiveness of your ad
Advertising can be costly. Online advertising is becoming increasingly important and can be far more cost-effective than print. Whatever type of advertising you choose, it is worth considering how you can monitor responses and track value for money.
For instance, can you check with enquirers where they heard about the course? Can you monitor click-throughs on your web pages? If you are placing a print ad, think about creating a specific web page with its URL, which will allow you to track the number of people driven to the web page from your advert.
