Now Hiring Sign and Flyer Maker
A sign they can't walk past.
Roles, pay, date and a QR code that opens your apply page. Print it for the window. Post it on social.
- Free. No sign-up.
- Print-ready Letter PNG
- Square for social
- English or Spanish
What your flyer says
Read it before you print. It lists every line on your flyer.
The link holds your text and settings, not your logo. Use it to come back, or send it to a colleague.
How it works
How to make a now hiring flyer.
Three steps, all in your browser. You can come back to it any time with the settings link.
Pick a headline.
“We're hiring” or “Now hiring” for a window or a counter. “Hiring event” adds a date, time and place.
Add roles, pay and your apply link.
Up to 6 roles, in the words people search for. Type pay the way the job posting shows it. The QR code opens your link, with tracking tags if you want them.
Check it. Then print or post.
Scan the code on screen with your phone and read “What your flyer says”. Download the Letter PNG to print, or the square for social.

What to put on it
Short beats complete.
People read a hiring sign while they walk past or wait in line. Check yours for these before you print.
A headline people can read from across the room.- Your name, the way it appears on your sign.
- The roles, in the words people search for. “Cashier” beats “guest experience associate”.
- Pay, as a range or a rate, matching the job posting.
- For an event: the date, the start and end time, the place and the street address.
- One QR code to the job page, plus a short printed link for people who can't scan.
- One practical line, such as “Bring an ID” or “Interviews on the spot”.
Words to leave off.
Skip words that point to who you'd prefer, such as “recent graduates” or “young and energetic”. The EEOC says a job ad can't show a preference for, or discourage, anyone because of a protected trait. Those traits are race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability and genetic information.1
Before you print
Pay, placement and a scan test.
Pay on a hiring flyer.
Not legal advice
Last reviewed November 2026. Not legal advice; your counsel decides.
If you can share the pay, print it the way the job posting shows it.
Several states require a pay range in job postings, including California, Colorado, Illinois, New York and Washington, plus Washington, DC. More are on the way: Delaware's law takes effect on September 26, 2027.2
Some laws define a posting broadly. Washington's covers “any solicitation intended to recruit job applicants for a specific available position”. That includes printed hard copies that list qualifications. It covers employers with 15 or more employees.3
So a flyer that names a role may count as a posting. Your counsel decides. A simple habit helps: print the same range as the posting the QR code opens. If you leave the pay field empty, the flyer has no pay line. It never prints a placeholder.
Our pay transparency lookup lists the rules by state, with sources. The guide to pay ranges in job ads covers how they reach ads and flyers.
Where to put a now hiring sign.
Put flyers where the people you want already are.
- Your front window or door, at eye level, facing the street.
- The counter or checkout, where people wait.
- Staff areas, so your team can pass it on to friends.
- Community boards at libraries, colleges and community centers. Ask before you post.
- Job fair tables, as a poster and as handouts.
- Your social pages. Post the square image, with the apply link in the post text.
Give each spot its own code.
Change the UTM content tag for each spot, such as window, counter or library, and download a flyer for each. Your analytics can then show which spots bring visits. Only need the codes? The hiring event QR code generator makes one per placement.
Paying to boost the post?
Then it's an employment ad. On Facebook and Instagram, it must run in Meta's Employment category, which you choose when you set up the boost. Ages are fixed at 18 to 65+. Gender and ZIP-code targeting aren't allowed. The radius must be at least 15 miles in the US and Canada.4 See the job ad targeting rules on Meta and Google, or how to advertise a hiring event. Rather not learn the rules? We build every hiring ad inside them. See Facebook and Instagram recruitment ads.
Test the QR code before you print.
- Scan the preview on your screen with two phones, ideally one iPhone and one Android.
- Print one copy first. Scan it from a step back, in the light where it will hang.
- Check the page it opens: the right job, the right location, and still open.
- Don't shrink the code to fit, and keep the white border around it. DENSO WAVE's QR Code guide says a code needs a clear margin 4 modules wide on all sides. A module is one small square.5 This tool always leaves it, and prints the code at least 2 inches wide on the Letter flyer.
- Keep the code dark on light. This tool always prints it in dark ink on white.
- When the job closes, take the flyer down, or point the link to a page that says the role is closed.
What should a now hiring sign say?
Keep it short: “Now hiring” or “We're hiring”, your name, the roles and how to apply. Add pay if you can, and the date, time and place for an event. One QR code and one short printed link are enough. People read signs while they walk past, so leave out lists of duties.
Should a hiring flyer show pay?
Often, yes. Several states require a pay range in job postings, and some, like Washington, define a posting to include printed copies. If your flyer names a role, print the same range as the posting it links to. This isn't legal advice; your counsel decides. Our pay transparency lookup lists the rules by state.
Can I make a Spanish hiring flyer?
Yes. Pick “Estamos contratando” as the headline. The printed labels switch to Spanish: Pago, Fecha, Hora, Lugar and “Escanee para postularse”. For an event, tick “Add a date, time and place”. Type your roles and extra line in Spanish, and link to a Spanish apply page if you have one. Ask a fluent speaker to check the flyer before you print it.
Can you promote our hiring event too?
Yes. That's our job. Hireloud is a recruitment marketing agency: we promote your event on Facebook, Instagram and Google, make the flyers and QR codes for every spot, and get people through the door. You do the interviews. Month-to-month, with no long-term contracts. See hiring event marketing, or get a free plan below.
