Now Hiring Signs & Banners

What it's for

A now hiring sign reaches the people who already drive past your business every day, and many of the best applicants live nearby. Restaurants, shops, contractors, landscapers, warehouses, schools, senior living and healthcare offices use yard signs by the road and banners on the building to fill jobs faster, especially before the holidays and the summer rush. We will help you word the sign, check it on the proof, and have it ready to go up quickly.

Sizes, printing and stakes

Hiring yard signs are printed in full color on 4mm corrugated plastic, on one side or both, in 24 by 18 inches or 24 by 36 inches standing tall, with H-stakes for the lawn. Hiring banners are 13 oz vinyl, hemmed with grommets, from 6 by 2 feet to 10 by 3 feet, for a fence, a storefront or a building. Design a yard sign online from a now hiring template, or design a banner.

Get applicants from the road

A driver has a second or two to read your sign, so give them three things: NOW HIRING, the job, and how to apply. A short web address or a phone number works from the road; a QR code works on a sign people walk up to, at a door, a counter or a job fair table. Put the sign where traffic slows down, at your driveway or the corner by the light, and use high contrast colors such as black on yellow or white on red.

Pay ranges and New York's rule

New York's pay transparency law, Labor Law section 194-b, asks employers with four or more employees to include the pay or the pay range when they advertise a specific job, and a printed sign counts as an advertisement. So every template that names a job has a line for the pay range and a line for where to see the job details, such as your website. A general "Now Hiring" sign that names no job has the pay line as an option. This is not legal advice; check with your own advisor if you are unsure.

Signs, banners or flags

Yard signs are quick to put up and move, and suit a lawn, a job site or a row along the road. A banner on the building or the fence reads from farther away and looks more permanent. A feather flag that says NOW HIRING catches the eye from both directions, and an A-frame at the door invites people in to apply on the spot.

Seasonal and ongoing hiring

Holiday retail hiring runs from October into December, and landscaping, pools, camps and ice cream stands hire from March to June. Some businesses hire all year and keep a sign up for good. A sign that names the season ("Now hiring for the holidays") gets attention now; a general sign with a web address keeps working all year.

Job fairs

At a job fair, the table needs to be found and the conversation needs a next step. A banner stand behind the table, a printed table throw in front and business cards with an apply link to hand out cover it. Bring a QR code on the stand so people can apply before they leave the room.

How ordering works

Design it online: start from one of our templates or your own logo, or upload a print-ready file in the designer, and see the price for every quantity as you go. You can order just one, and the price of each drops as you order more. We check every file and send a proof within 1 business day, and nothing is made until you approve it. It is ready to pick up or ships 6 business days after you approve the proof. Rush orders are printed the next business day, with no separate proof: the design on your screen is what prints. See how rush printing works. Pick it up free at our Hopewell Junction shop, or we ship it anywhere in the US.
