What matters for mid-sized companies

  1. Closed-loop source-to-hire reporting

    Spend must be justified by hires.

  2. Budget controls by job and location

    Multiple hiring managers can overspend.

  3. Landing pages for high-priority roles

    Role-specific pages lift conversion.

  4. Compliance review of ads and targeting

    Job ads and audience targeting should be reviewed against equal employment opportunity rules before they run.

How to choose recruitment marketing software

6 criteria · Requirements by company size · 5 red flags

Choose on whether the tool connects spend to hires, not just clicks and applications. A platform that cannot report cost per hire by channel only moves your advertising problem into a new dashboard.

Ask to see a closed-loop report from one existing customer type similar to yours, with names removed.

  1. Channel reach and job distribution

    Reach decides applicant volume, but channel coverage and fees differ widely.

  2. Source-to-hire attribution

    Without ATS data, you only see clicks and applications.

  3. Career site and landing pages

    The career site converts the traffic you pay for.

  4. Programmatic and budget controls

    Automated bidding can overspend without limits.

  5. Targeting and ad compliance controls

    The EEOC says job ads cannot indicate preferences or discourage applicants on protected characteristics.

  6. Talent community and email campaigns

    Nurturing past applicants lowers the cost of filling the next role.

Requirements by company size
