Google Ads for Recruiting

We place your job openings where qualified candidates are actually searching.

More qualified applications. Fewer irrelevant clicks.

Whether you’re an SME, a growing startup, or a large corporation – HR professionals often wonder:

  • Can skilled professionals even find our job ads on Google?
  • How do we promote hard-to-fill roles when job boards aren’t enough?
  • What kind of budget makes sense for meaningful results?
  • Can we measure success clearly enough to convince HR and leadership?
We build Google Ads campaigns that reliably fill open roles with qualified applicants – data-driven, budget-friendly, and demonstrably effective.

The challenge: Be visible when talent is actively searching

  • Competition for skilled workers is intense
  • Candidates turn to Google first – not necessarily job boards
  • Misclicks increase CPC while applications stay low
  • Long recruiting cycles make performance tracking harder

Without a focused strategy, Google Ads quickly becomes expensive – and good candidates stay out of reach.

What’s at stake?

  • Vacancies remain open longer – delaying critical projects
  • HR teams waste time filtering irrelevant applications
  • Costs rise due to headhunter fees, overpriced job ads, or staff overtime
  • Employer branding suffers due to ineffective messaging

Google Ads for recruiting works – if the entire process is aligned.

From the first keyword to the submitted application: We align your ads, landing page, and recruitment workflow to drive real results – not just clicks, but candidates who fit.

Refine your employer profile

We distill your unique value as an employer – concise, compelling, and search-friendly.

Develop keyword & applicant strategy

We identify real-world search terms job seekers use – including negative keywords to reduce waste.

Regional & demographic targeting

Ads appear where your candidates live or want to work – locally, nationally, or internationally.

Conversion-focused campaign setup

From ad copy to tracking: everything is designed to drive completed applications, not just traffic.

Career landing pages that convert

Fast load times, clear benefits, simple application processes – so talent doesn’t drop off.

Optimization in the right rhythm

High traffic? Weekly refinements. Niche roles? Monthly deep dives to use data effectively.

Live reporting & HR insights

You’ll always see which campaigns drive which applications – transparent for HR and leadership.

Optional: SEO & Bing Ads expansion

We reinforce successful keywords organically and expand reach via Bing where relevant.

We know: In recruiting, quality beats quantity. That’s why we tightly filter keywords and connect every campaign to your application process – reducing screening effort while attracting better-fit talent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Google Ads for Recruiting

  • How quickly can we expect applications?

    Clicks usually start within a day. Depending on the role, qualified applications may follow within days or weeks. We continuously optimize to shorten your time-to-hire.

  • Can we use our existing career page?

    Yes, if it loads quickly, is mobile-optimized, and provides a clear, user-friendly application process. If not, we create a streamlined landing page tailored to your ad – reducing drop-offs and improving conversion rates.

  • What recruiting strategies can we use with Google Ads?

    We tailor each campaign to fit your needs. Common strategies include:

    • Job title + location keywords
      E.g. “Electrician jobs Berlin” or “SEO Manager Vienna” – ideal for active job seekers.
    • Skill- and benefit-driven keywords
      E.g. “React Remote” or “4-day week marketing” – great for passively interested candidates.
    • Employer & competitor bidding
      Secure top SERP placement on your brand name and gain visibility with targeted bidding on competitor brands.
    • Remarketing & RLSA
      Re-engage visitors who didn’t apply with follow-up ads or adjusted bids.
    • Time & geo-targeting
      Run ads only during relevant hours (e.g. evenings) and in specific regions where you’re hiring.

     

  • How do we measure success?

    We track application forms, phone clicks, and booking links – all GDPR-compliant. You’ll know exactly which ad generated which applications – all the way to hire.
