What we learned
Digital is an efficient and effective channel for recruitment Google Analytics must be connected to AdWords
campaigns Engaging team who screens candidates is critical to
closing the data loop Net is cast wide so expect non-qualified sign ups

Key Learnings
Google is great for data tracking & targeting – More expensive than social media ads (e.g. Facebook &
Twitter) Facebook is most consistent at generating ad clicks and sign-
ups over time at a reasonable cost – In-stream ads perform better – by far – Side bar ads do not perform well
Outreach was highly effective at generating qualified sign ups – But also has more limitations
• Outreach placements are inconsistent • Costs are harder to quantify
Preliminary results from Twitter ads are promising Optimization cycle helps to drive down costs over time

Key Takeaways
Digital doesn’t work for everything Digital does offer many opportunities for research – both
from a cost efficiency stand point and for reaching hard-to-reach audiences Paid tactics are more turn-key while earned tactics take
time Digital doesn’t live in a vacuum – all members of the
recruitment team need to work together You must cast your net wide to get what you need Nothing is wasted – these approaches can help to
backfill your recruitment databases 27
