Marketing and Advertising

The Recruiting Team is tasked with posting and monitoring online advertisements and marketing materials.

Craigslist

Custodial Services pays for postings on Craigslist that are specifically marketing the upcoming Hiring Events on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (subject to change). Each Monday the posting is renewed, and every Thursday, the post is edited to show the next week's hiring events (if any, and not re-posted!). If you have never used Craigslist before, please do not hesitate to visit the website to get familiar with the layout and functions.

Responding to Craigslist Inquiries

Inquiries for information on hiring events are submitted either by email or called in by phone. When taking messages or responding to job seekers, it is important to be thorough and clear about the job openings. Practice tact and seek assistance if there are any questions that are not easily answered by a yes or no. Job seekers may inquire about previous attempts to obtain a job, so treat each job seeker in their own special way.
