You may feel like you’re playing a game of 20 Questions when trying to figure out how many stamps to use on a mailer for your nursing or therapy recruitment project. How wide is the piece? How long is it? Is it a postcard or a large postcard? Does it contain a live animal? Huh? Live animal?!?!

Which one is right for your project?
If you’re promoting a career fair or other event, use First-class postage. Always. Standard Mail risks not getting there in time. Think how disappointing it is to get an invitation the day after an event.
Are you recruiting for a critical position and need applicants quickly? Again, you should use First-class postage. You’re assured it will be in mailboxes within 2-4 days. You know the window for having the right people available to talk with interested candidates.
If your recruitment mail project isn’t time-sensitive or for an urgent hiring need, Standard Presort may work just fine for you. It’s easier on the budget, but it will take longer to reach the candidates.
