Recruiting through Facebook and Instagram (Meta) offers a unique reach, targeting accuracy, and user engagement that is especially powerful for modern recruitment campaigns. Jobiqo AIR integrates seamlessly with Meta to help you reach ideal candidates effectively.
Facebook and Instagram are highly engaging platforms where users spend considerable time browsing content that resonates with their personal and professional interests. Social ads on these platforms appear natively within feeds, stories, and reels, mimicking regular posts. This format ensures higher visibility and interaction compared to traditional ads.
When running campaigns through Jobiqo AIR, these social ads are managed under your company’s branding, not Jobiqo’s. This enhances trust and recognition among potential candidates. The ads are designed to promote brand awareness and generate candidate interest through visually appealing creatives and concise, relevant messaging.
Goal
The main objectives of social recruiting campaigns on Meta platforms include:
-
Brand Awareness: Increase your visibility among potential job seekers, even if they are not currently job hunting.
-
Engagement: Encourage users to interact with your job ads by liking, sharing, commenting, or clicking.
-
Reach: Maximize the number of individuals who see your job postings within targeted demographics.
-
Applications: Drive conversions by leading interested users directly to your application landing page.
Jobiqo AIR tracks each of these goals and uses AI-powered optimization to continuously improve performance in real time.
Conversion Rate
Social ads on Facebook and Instagram tend to generate high levels of engagement but a moderate application conversion rate. In general, these campaigns yield more interactions than direct applications compared to other platforms. However, they play a critical role in guiding passive candidates down the funnel, turning brand familiarity into future applications.
This makes them especially suitable for brand building and long-term talent pipeline growth, while still delivering measurable short-term results.
Target Audience / Suitable Jobs
Meta platforms support broad targeting criteria that allow you to reach:
-
Specific age groups
-
Geographic regions
-
Education levels
-
Work history and professional interests
-
Lifestyle behaviors
This makes Facebook and Instagram ideal for promoting:
-
Entry-level to mid-level positions
-
Roles in high-turnover industries like retail, hospitality, logistics, and customer service
-
Jobs requiring soft skills or general experience rather than specialized qualifications
Their broad user base ensures that your ads reach both active job seekers and passive candidates who may not be on job boards but are open to opportunities.
Even though the immediate conversion rate may be moderate, the long-term value of brand exposure and pipeline development is significant. These platforms are a cornerstone of modern recruiting strategies, especially for scalable and high-volume hiring needs.
