Create a QR Code for Recruitment
Connect job fair signs, shop windows, campus materials, and printed adverts to the public vacancies you already host.
Link to a candidate-facing page
Use a public careers page, job board, or individual vacancy URL. QRtracer provides the QR link and optional scan tracking; it does not host job listings, accept CVs, screen candidates, or process applications. Open the destination in a private browser and confirm that the role, location, closing date, accessibility information, and application action are visible on mobile. Avoid placing a candidate's name, email address, CV link, or other personal data directly in the QR content.
Use a separate code for each recruitment placement
- Copy the public careers or vacancy URL, not a recruiter administration link.
- Choose a dynamic code when the vacancy may close before the printed material is removed.
- Name the code for the source, such as Engineering fair autumn banner.
- Place a short role or team description beside the code so candidates know what will open.
- Test the final sign at its real viewing distance.
A company can use separate codes for a campus fair and a shop-window notice while sending both to the same job board. The scan reports remain attributable to their placements.
Handle expired vacancies without a dead end
For a saved dynamic QR code, replace the destination when a role closes. A general careers page, talent community form, or current vacancy list is usually a clearer fallback than an expired application screen. The destination still needs to explain its own data handling and accessibility. A static code cannot be edited after printing because it contains the final URL directly. Review every long-running recruitment placement on a schedule so signs do not promise a role that is no longer open.
Separate scan interest from applications
Name dynamic codes for each fair, campus poster, or shop notice. Compare their scan activity with completed applications reported by your recruitment system for the same dates and roles. A high scan count with few applications is a prompt to inspect the mobile application journey and the vacancy description, not evidence about candidate quality. Record when notices went up and came down so a longer-running placement does not appear stronger simply because it had more exposure.
