Best practices for QR codes for hiring
Looking for more applicants? QR codes let you tap new channels for leads. Check out some best practices
Clear calls to action
Without a clear Call to Action, people will be less motivated to scan the Flowcode. Including copy, like “apply now,” means more people will apply for your position.
Match your brand
No more boring black-and-white QR codes. Include your logo, choose a shape, and add artistic flair around the code to make them pop.
Use dynamic codes
Flowcodes never expire and the destination can be changed at any time depending on what position you’re hiring for.

FAQs for QR codes for hiring
QR codes can be linked directly to job application forms online. QR codes make it easy for potential employees to begin an application as soon as they’re made aware of the open position. By allowing potential hires to instantly begin the process with a scan of their phone, you lower the chances that they’ll forget about the opportunity once they return home. In turn, this lowers the chance that you’ll miss out on quality candidates.
QR codes can be placed anywhere a potential applicant might see it. This could mean in the window of your business or on the side of a vehicle. If you’re attending a job fair you can print the codes on to flyers and put it on the front of your booth. You can get creative as well, putting the application code on t-shirts or temporary tattoos for existing employees.
First you’ll need to select a QR code generator. Different generators come with different costs and stipulations. You’ll need to do your research to determine which generator best fits your hiring needs. Once you’ve settled on a generator you’ll just have to make an account if necessary, enter the required information, and then create the code. Be aware that some codes might have a limit on how many times they can be scanned whereas platforms like Flowcode allow you to create your first code with unlimited scans for free. These codes are also dynamic, which means that you can create one code for one position and then alter the destination once you’re looking to fill a different role.
If you want greater insight into who is scanning your codes and when and where they’re scanning for them, you can opt for a QR code generator that includes analytics. Depending on the generator, this may come at a cost or it might be included with any codes created through the platform. If you think analytics might be important to you, consider using a generator that offers them just in case as you’ll have to create a new code if you switch to a different generator. Platforms like Flowcode offer a basic plan that comes with a free dynamic code and includes first party analytics for free.
The best way to encourage potential applicants to scan your recruitment code is explain the advantages of the job in a compelling and succinct way. It’s also wise to use a clear and simple call to action alongside the code like “scan to apply.” The more appealing the opportunity and the simpler it is to apply, the more candidates you’re likely to receive.
