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

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.

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.

KRT Case Study
Reporting after the
month made us
very reactive vs.
proactively
improving
performance.
No way to see spend or click volume on a job-level until after the
month was over.
Using real-time
data made us more
proactive than ever.
Tracking tags helped us set rules to significantly improve ROI.
 Removed jobs from advertising once they hit application goals
 Increased bids only for hard-to-fill jobs
 Programmatically hunted for best performing PPC boards
