QR codes

If you are new to recruiting world or want to pursue your career in recruiting, than its very important to be aware of the technological miracle called “QR” code.    A QR code (quick response code) is a type of 2D bar code that is used to provide easy access to information through a smartphone via a QR Code Scanner. It looks like a maze in advertisements or in posters and that can be mistaken for a black design box or patterned square. However, this little square has the capability of encoding large amount of relevant information for a recruiter regarding a candidate such as-(his/her) name, education, mobile no. etc. 

Some of the recruiting situations where QR code can come handy are :

• In job postings, social media and blogs - QRcode can provide detailed reference or follow-up information without taking up lots of real estate
• Job alerts/calendar events — individuals can sign up for specific job alert notifications and calendar items can be easily saved on a phone’s calendar.

It’s noteworthy that QR code can be created for free and because it’s so small, saves space (both storage and display) leading to reduced advertising costs.
