Securing the best talent for their clients is paramount, and where the value of print advertising to promote exciting employment opportunities cannot be underestimated.”
The judging panel, comprising Ross Mengel (Director, DMA Group), Dr Kgomotso Kasonkola (Senior Director: Human Resources at University of the Witwatersrand), Muguette Crozier (Digital Art Director of The Riverbed Agency), and Zandile Nzalo (CEO of Zanenza Holdings), shortlisted print advertisements to five finalists for the Best Creative Recruitment advert in the Private, Public and Education sectors respectively.
