HOW IT WORKS

One job post. 30 days of active promotion.

Great candidates do not always apply right away. They notice your role, come back to it, compare it with others and then decide. For 30 days, we keep your job visible, bring it back to their attention and optimise its performance—so you can focus on choosing the right people.

BY FIELD

Every field has a different path to candidates

We tailor channel mix and timing to how people in each field search for work and how long they take to decide.

IT and development

For IT roles, decisions often take longer—sometimes up to three weeks—so email and retargeting play an important part.

Marketing and sales

In marketing and sales, decisions often take around two weeks. Ads and search tend to perform strongly.

Customer support and admin

For support and admin roles, the first applications can arrive within days. Search and ads are often important sources.

Based on hiring experience at StartupJobs. Actual performance varies by role, company and market conditions.

FAQ

When will the first applications arrive?

The first applications usually arrive within a few days, with more coming in over the next two to three weeks. That is why we support your job for the full 30 days.

What if my job is not getting enough applications?

We continuously compare performance with similar roles in the field. If we see room to improve, we adjust channels and creatives or recommend specific changes to the title, copy or benefits.

Who writes the ad copy?

AI assistants create the variants, but our team reviews every one before launch. Each ad then goes through the platform's own checks as well.

What's the difference between packages?

Start covers ongoing distribution and promotion. Extra adds targeted email, the talent database and unfinished-application reminders. Premium also gives you a job page without competing listings or banners. You can add the Bigger campaign and its higher budget to any package.

Are social media ads included?

Yes. Every job includes a Facebook, Instagram and Threads campaign with retargeting. The Bigger campaign add-on increases both budget and reach.

Post your job. We will take care of its reach.
