So What’s the Problem?
5/24/2016 9
Uneven Distribution of Budgets
Resulting in too many clicks on
some jobs and not enough on others
Blind Spots
Not having visibility into job-level
campaign performance makes it hard to
be proactive about optimizing campaigns
Limited Audience reach
Visibility is limited by only using 1 or
2 job aggregators to advertise jobs
Challenges with the “old way” of managing PPC campaigns
13. #GoProgrammatic
An Overview of Programmatic
Programmatic means automated.
Programmatic advertising is the buying, placement and
optimization of ads performed by software, rather than people.
14. #GoProgrammatic
*All advertising – not specific to just recruitment media
More Than Two-Thirds of U.S. Digital
Display Ad* Spending Is Programmatic
(It’s actually a lot higher)
>67%
18. #GoProgrammatic
Not one site. All sites.
Programmatic platforms and methodologies turn the
entire web into a ‘Help Wanted’ sign…getting your job ad
in front of quality candidates where they live, work, & play
on the web…not just a few select sites.
20. #GoProgrammatic
No more ‘runaway jobs’
Programmatic ‘rules-based’ engines ensures your budget is spread effectively
across all of your jobs…driving traffic to your hard-to-fill positions that need
more applicants and un-sponsoring jobs that have enough applicants.
