The State of Programmatic Job Advertising

Programmatic buying has changed the face of job advertising. It has helped companies save costs, streamline job advertising, target the right candidates and maximize ROI. Once companies move to a programmatic job advertising model, they are unlikely to go back to their previous manual processes.

This study found that companies using programmatic job advertising are two times more likely to improve time to fill and three times more likely to improve the quality of their sources. Yet, most employers are still unclear as to what programmatic job advertising is and how it can provide value to their talent acquisition and recruitment efforts.

This report, based on data collected in January and February 2021, is a guide for any company interested in exploring programmatic job advertising to reduce their spend and increase performance on their job campaigns. It uncovers programmatic job advertising myths, the strategies companies are using, and the impact on marketing and talent acquisition efforts.

Redefining Success: Talent Analytics for the Future

Like many things, talent acquisition strategies have changed in response to the events of 2020.

According to Aptitude Research, 62% of companies are still hiring even if their focus has shifted.

Talent acquisition and HR leaders are reevaluating processes, technology and analytics to prepare for the next year. What worked in 2019 will no longer work today, and companies must build a deeper understanding of what drives success and performance. They need a more robust approach that harnesses the power of provable, scientific data. Currently, only one in three companies are using performance data in their recruitment decisions, and on and one in two companies do not trust their data sources. Thoughtful collection and skillful management of data is the bedrock of strategic talent analytics and successful hiring outcomes.

The latest report from Aptitude Research is based on research collected during the last quarter of 2020 and looks at how companies are redefining success, rethinking analytics, and preparing for the future.

Companies are increasing their investment in conversational AI to support talent acquisition efforts. According to Aptitude Research’s 2020 talent acquisition study, 38% of companies are using or are planning to use conversational AI solutions in 2020 compared to 7% in 2019.
