wanted ads

Help wanted section

Wanted ads are classified advertisements seeking something—employment, housing, goods, or services.

The term dates from newspaper classifieds, where help wanted ads sought employees and apartment wanted ads sought housing.

Now largely migrated online, wanted ads remain distinct from ads offering something for sale.
