"We have seen our applicants from social go from less than 2% of our online applicants to as many as 20% of candidates."

What this doesn't calculate
The quality difference in who you're reaching
Job boards reach candidates already looking — typically between jobs or unhappy where they are. The 70% on social are currently employed and performing. Lower turnover. Higher quality. That doesn't show up in a cost-per-hire calc.
The compounding effect over time
Job board spend stops the moment you stop paying. Social presence and employer brand build over time. Year 2 costs less and delivers more than year 1.
Why this matters more right now
In the current economy, employed candidates are holding onto their jobs — the best ones are less visible on job boards than ever. The teams reaching them through social have access to a candidate pool their competitors don't.
