Our favourite advertising gaff of the year (not ours obviously)

E-mail

One of our activities is recruitment advertising. In fact, we're pretty good at it. Our recruitment advertising team supports HR Managers and their departments at a diverse range of clients nationwide and beyond. In recruitment advertising terms alone, we're a UK top 20 player.

This month, we had to laugh out loud at an item you may have seen in the news. The Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospital NHS Trust had uploaded a job themselves to an online job board for a Trainee Anaesthetist which ended with the words 'Usual rubbish about equal opportunities employer etc'. the offending wording has since been removed (one of the advantages of online is that you can change things) and replaced with reference to the trust being a 'Stonewall diversity champion employer'.

Of course had they used CMS for their recruitment advertising as several other major NHS Trusts do, then the problem would never had arisen in the first place.
