Recruitment Advertising Focus Group
In Fall 2017, the Talent Acquisition team invited all HR Partners to attend a recruitment advertising focus group. The meeting covered the results of the Spring 2017 Recruitment Advertising Survey, shared utilization statistics, provided an update on our enterprise-wide contract with The Register-Guard, and solicited input on a strategic advertising resource guide.
In February 2018, Talent Acquisition and University Communications invited all HR Partners to attend a Recruitment Advertising Update Meeting as a follow-up to the Fall 2017 focus group. The meeting covered the upcoming launch of a new internal process to post job advertisements in The Register-Guard, and showcased the new Recruitment Advertising Resource tool located on the HR website.

Recruitment Resource: Working at the UO
As a reminder, the Working @ UO section of the HR website is a useful recruiting resource. This website highlights the advantages of working at the UO and living in Eugene – serving as a marketing tool to attract candidates. A link to the Working @ UO section provides useful information that hiring department representatives or search committee members can share with candidates during the interview process.
