Recruitment Advertising

Please note that the last Saturday for publication of recruitment advertising for 2002 is Saturday, 14 December 2002. All requests for advertisement should be received in Workplace Relations and Services no later than Friday, 6 December 2002.
As you are probably aware advertisements during the Christmas/New Year period rarely attract many applications. Accordingly, you may wish to delay advertising until late in January to increase your chances of attracting a greater pool of suitable applicants. Only in exceptional circumstances would we recommend placing an advertisement prior to Saturday, 11 January 2003.
