"With one entry, I was able to place the ad both on the web and in the specific papers I wanted the ad to appear in," said Sharon Wales from CertainTeed Gypsum Canada Inc. "The replies I received were from a wide variety of individuals and we were able to select quite a few candidates that we wished to interview from the many received."
