1. Grow Brand Awareness

There’s no doubt that your brand reputation attracts candidates. But even if you have a great reputation with those who know about your company, there are still plenty of talented candidates who don’t. Brand Ads expose your brand and your jobs to candidates who are looking but may have not been exposed to your brand before. Repetition is one of the keys to increase brand awareness, so the more places your brand appears, the more it becomes top-of-mind for candidates.

2. Target Candidates Precisely

Targeting your jobs is about more than job title and location. Companies may seek to reach candidates of specific demographic groups or criteria such as veteran status, diversity and competitor activity. Brand ads allow you to get in front of more of the candidates you want by setting the exact criteria that suit you best.

88% of hiring decision makers agree that an informed candidate is a quality candidate.1
