The study verified the data with the State Education Agency in the vicinity of the university and doubel checked whether graduates who secured teaching positions supplied correct data.

The elements of effective recruiting brochures

Article Abstract:

Recruitment brochures are the primary source of information used by students when they are looking for jobs. A survey of students' attitudes towards recruitment brochures revealed that just 5% thought that the brochures were 'not very useful' while 95% thought they were useful. There was no significant preference for a particular size, colour or style of brochure but they did like to see staff photographs and the product had to look professional. They did not like to read about products, services or company history. Content was rated higher than appearance.
