Best Practices for Advertising
Advertising Plan
Creating an efficient and effective advertising plan will help target a diverse pool of candidates. Advertising may take on many forms, including free advertising through the Stony Brook Jobs page and individual LinkedIn accounts, or paid advertising through Job Elephant.
- Make sure you utilize the correct job boards - it will broadens your applicant pool by giving your position higher visibility; it can also help target specific fields of interest for highly specialized positions.
- Post your position in a variety of areas to increase the diversity of your applicant pool! Candidates from varied backgrounds are more likely to see the postings.
- Positions are automatically placed on the Stony Brook Jobs page, HERC and Higheredjobs.com free of charge - take advantage of free advertising opportunities by posting links to positions from the SBU Jobs page on your personal LinkedIn page!
The Advertisement Process
Advertising Request Form
1. After a job requisition is created, the departmental contact fills out the Ad Request Formand communicates that they want advertising (or that they would like advertising quotes) for a requisition to the VPC. If a department is only looking for quotes and is not ready to move forward with advertising, this must be indicated on the email.
2. The VPC approves the Ad Request Formand sends it to cjo-hrs@stonybrook.edu.
3. CJO reviews the form and forwards it to the advertising firm with the departmental contact.
4. The advertising firm replies to the departmental contact (cc’ing CJO) with the quotes from requested websites, along with quotes and recommendations for other websites that may attract candidates specific to the PD. These quotes are listed in order of ROI/value based on tracking data.
5. The departmental contact looks over the quotes and decides what advertising is appropriate.
6. Once a decision is made, the departmental contact approves the quotes for theJob Campaign(s) online in the Job Portal. Campaigns must be approved for them to be posted.
- For state funded advertising only — the department does not have to approve the invoices in the system, this is for record-keeping purposes only.
- All non-state funded invoices, including RF, CPMP, and SBF — will be billed directly to the corresponding department and account listed on the Ad Request Form.The department will be responsible for paying the invoice in the system. The account number listed on the form must be the account used for payment or the process will be delayed.
7. The advertisement agency sends the departmental contact an email with an attached data snapshot (including the tear sheets and live links) confirming campaign start and end dates, recruiters will update the position posting accordingly to match.
