The world ’Advertisement’ comes from ‘advertir’, which is Old French
for ‘to notice.’ An attempt to make the right candidate notice a
particular job opening. The first Job ads were simple sheets of paper.

the days when information was more static. It didn’t travel long
distances quickly. Thus, it came with huge disadvantages, compared to
information today.
When newspaper became dominant communication tools during 19th
century, they began publishing, Job ads. This was better idea because
companies could reach many more potential candidates, but there is
limited access to that method. Also newspaper ads were expensive and
strictly one-way in their communication format.
In the mid-1990s, a new way to reach candidates appeared: the Job ad
moved online, and several things changed. The cost of a Job ad dropped,

reduced. For Job seekers/Candidates, the new online tools meant that
