Channel plan
Use the least expensive qualified traffic first
Organic and owned channels can lower long-term acquisition cost, while sponsored channels provide faster reach and measurable volume.
| Channel | Best use | Primary measurement | Important risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employer landing page | Central conversion destination and campaign control | Visit-to-application rate | Weak message or long form |
| Google and organic search | Capture active job-search demand | Impressions, clicks, applications | Indexing and competition |
| Job boards | Reach established candidate audiences quickly | Applicants and qualified applicant rate | Duplicate or low-intent applications |
| Social and referrals | Reach passive or network-adjacent prospects | Engagement and conversion | Broad targeting |
| Sponsored media | Scale reach and test messages | Cost per applicant and quality | Budget waste without tracking |
Frequently asked questions
Advertising questions
Which advertising channels are used?
Channels may include the employer website, Google search surfaces, job boards, niche sites, social media, referrals, email, and sponsored media. The mix depends on the role and budget.
Is media spend included?
Third-party advertising spend is normally separate from strategy, creative, landing-page, management, or applicant-generation fees unless a proposal states otherwise.
Can you advertise a role nationwide?
Yes, when the job can realistically recruit nationwide. Geography should still be defined carefully because location affects search intent, cost, and applicant quality.
What is optimized during a campaign?
Optimization may address the title, description, audience, bid, budget, channel mix, landing page, form, screening questions, or employer follow-up process.
