Checklist
What to put on a help wanted sign
Five things that turn people walking past into applicants.
| Include | Why |
|---|---|
| A headline people read from the sidewalk | NOW HIRING or HELP WANTED in the biggest letters on the page. |
| The roles you need | Specific titles like line cook or cashier get more of the right people than "all positions". |
| Pay or a pay range | Answers the first question every applicant has, and several US states require it in job postings. |
| One or two perks | Flexible hours, a discount or weekly pay set you apart from the shop next door. |
| One clear way to apply | A QR code to an online form works after hours, when the manager is busy and on social media. |
Tips
Tips for a sign that gets applicants
Small things that make the difference between a sign people notice and one they act on.
01
Put it at eye level
Tape the sign inside the front window or next to the register, where people stand and wait.
02
Test the QR code
Scan it with two different phones before printing. A code that opens the wrong page wastes every applicant.
03
Post the square version too
Download the square or story format and share it on Instagram, Facebook and your Google Business Profile.
04
Offer Spanish
In many US towns a Spanish sign reaches people an English one misses. Switch the language and print both.
