    Hello animal welfare friends!

    The animal control department/shelter that I work for is needing to fill quite a few job vacancies. :( 

    Has anyone ever launched a hiring/recruitment campaign? Open to any tips, suggestions, etc. Thank you!

    We have struggled with staffing as well, and I as marketing/comms have had to get a lot more involved in helping recruit than ever before. Here are some of the things we've done:

    Alexis,


     Thank you for your suggestions. Also thanks for a wonderful session at the Expo in Orlando last week. I attended your session.

    We've been in the same boat. We utilize the local chamber for job postings as well as community social media pages. We also have looked into attending job fairs locally. The job market and recruitment right now are tough. Wishing you the best!
