2023 has been a year of change for many – including Bradbury Miller Associates. A large number of retirements in the field have led to personnel shortages for libraries of every size, type, and region. Because we know that many organizations are struggling to find applicants at every level of the organization, we have developed a new service that is focused on providing solid advertising and recruiting coverage to bring you a larger pool of applicants.
Our Advertising-Only option is a cost-conscious solution to bring your management and/or executive positions to the eyes and ears of the greater library profession. If you have been advertising on your own and are not seeing the quality or quantity of candidates you expect, this service may be a viable option. Obtaining talent in the current job market requires more direct marketing than posting the position on your website or area listservs.
BMA’s Advertising Only service offers the following:
- Advertising your position on the BMA website
- Posting to over 55 different library-specific job boards and listservs
- Highlighting the position in our monthly newsletter
- A targeted direct email campaign to hundreds of professionals across the country
For an additional fee, a Bradbury Miller Associates consultant will work with you to assess the position’s job description and assist in writing your announcement language to ensure the job is as attractive as possible.
If you are reading this post, you’ve likely struggled to fill important positions at your library. Our Advertising Only service can bring additional visibility to your open positions and take the demanding work of recruiting off your shoulders so you can focus on serving your patrons and community.
