Uploading your important documents and files is an excellent way to declutter your office and minimize unnecessary printing costs. The benefit of using this technology is that your team or employees can easily download these materials on their phone and access anytime and anywhere they want.

You have two options when creating a QR Code that leads your HR Team to download training materials and employee handbooks. First, if you have multiple files in different formats, you can upload them on the Cloud and create a static URL QR Code. Second, if you have a single file that you will be updating every so often, you may opt to make a dynamic QR Code using File Links.

Using a File Link (for single files)

  1. On your dashboard, look for the “Create Link” button and choose File.
  2. Upload your file.
  3. Type in a short URL.
  4. Create your file link and copy the URL.
  5. You may now create a static QR Code using the steps above.

Job Posting

Lead potential applicants to your job posting on your website, social media, or a job marketplace like LinkedIn or Indeed using a URL QR Code. To create a static disposable QR Code for your job posting, simply create one using the steps above, choosing URL for QR Type.

Alternatively, you can create a dynamic and editable QR Code for all of your future job postings using Dynamic Links. We’ve written a detailed tutorial on how to use this awesome feature in this article.

Company Profiles and Job Descriptions

Company profiles and detailed job descriptions can be lengthy and take up too much space in your ad or post. Make your job ad more readable by adding a QR Code that provides more information your future applicants need to know.

With the rise of remote jobs and telecommuting, as well as the need to minimize office clutter, HR offices everywhere are employing systems that help applicants upload their applications and papers and HR staff to easily review submitted documents.

With QR Codes, this can be easier. All you need to do is create one using the URL for the web page where they can submit applications. Add this on your digital publicity materials and printed job announcements for easy accessibility.

Link for Virtual Job Interviews, Meetings and Trainings

Like online submission of applications, it is also common for companies today to conduct virtual job interviews for remote, face-to-face or hybrid jobs. Even meetings and seminars are now held via applications like Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet.

For this purpose, you can create either a disposable static codes or a dynamic and recyclable one. Here’s a previous article detailing the different ways you can use QR Codes for online conferencing.
