The people you really want aren't on Indeed

Traditional job boards reach only about 20% of people: the ones actively looking for work.

And the other 80%? Those are the passive candidates you actually want. Reliable, proven and in demand. But they're already employed, doing fine and not browsing Indeed. They'll never see your post.

Here's the hard truth about job boards:

  • You fish in a pond of mostly desperate job seekers
  • Low-quality one-click applications flood your inbox
  • AI-written CVs make everyone look like a perfect fit
  • The good candidates apply to 30 other companies too
  • You compete with everyone for the same small pool

That's why job boards are broken. Good candidates are not only harder to find there, they're also harder to hire.

We reach the other 80%

While your local competitors fight over the same desperate job seekers on Indeed, we go somewhere else.

We use social media ads to show your job to skilled people who never check job boards. We show up in their feed with the right message on the platforms they use every day: Facebook and Instagram.

They're not actively looking for a job. But they're open to better opportunities and new challenges if a good offer shows up.

So instead of waiting for the right candidates to find you, we go find them while they scroll.

And when they apply, they apply only to YOU. Not to 30 other companies at the same time.

  • You get their full attention
  • Almost zero competition
  • Much better conversations
  • Faster and easier to hire

And yes, active job seekers are on social media too. So you reach the passive 80% and the active 20% in one sweep.

Does this really work?

Yes. Very well. But only when done right.

If social media recruiting is new to you, it can sound unconventional at first. Social platforms are very good at showing the right message to the right people.

The problem is that most companies who try Facebook job ads get it wrong.

Think about it. People scrolling Facebook aren't actively looking for a job. They're killing time on their commute or relaxing on the couch. They don't have a CV ready. They won't fill out long forms. And they definitely won't create an account just to apply.

If you don't stand out and make it easy to apply, they'll just keep scrolling.

The wrong way that kills results:

  • Boosting posts or traffic campaigns
  • Running boring "We're hiring" ads
  • Talking about "we" instead of "you"
  • Linking to slow, clunky career pages
  • Using long, annoying forms
  • Asking for CV uploads upfront

The right way that gets top results:

  • Smart targeting via creative & copy
  • Custom, job-specific landing pages
  • Pain-point driven messaging
  • Effortless 60-second applications
  • Simple & engaging pre-qualification
  • Built for mobile from start to finish

Social media recruiting is probably the best way to find talent today. But it's not just "running some ads". It's about building a full candidate journey that makes the right people stop, click and apply.

We bring you the candidates. You do the hiring

  • No social ads to learn.
  • No landing pages to build.
  • No tech to deal with.

We handle all of that. You focus on hiring.

Here's how it works:

Step 1: We build your job campaign

A custom landing page, 60-second appli­cation quiz, ad strategy & setup, copywriting and creatives. Your premium hiring funnel built to turn clicks into applicants.

Step 2: We launch and manage the ads

Your job offer shows up in front of the right local candidates every day. We handle the targeting, creative testing and ongoing optimization to keep performance strong.

Step 3: Applicants come in. You hire

You get a steady flow of pre-qualified and interested applicants directly to your inbox. No unnecessary tool, no extra login. You call, interview and hire them.

We build hiring pipelines

Most companies hire reactively.

Someone quits. You post a job. You wait and hope. That's slow. And expensive.

There's a better way. We build hiring pipelines. This means a steady flow of fresh, pre-qualified applicants month after month.

But why do fresh candidates matter?

Someone who applies today:

  • Remembers your company now
  • Is interested and available now
  • Actually answers the phone now

Someone who applied 3 months ago?

  • They forgot about you and moved on

The best candidates have a short shelf life. That's why pipelines aren't about collecting a list of names. They're about always having fresh ones ready before you desperately need them.

If you hire year-round or deal with turnover, this is how you stay fully staffed.

Who this is for. And who it's not

We're not the right fit for everyone.

Our service is best suited for companies with roles that stay open too long or never really stop hiring. Think electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, nurses, CNAs, drivers, warehouse staff, frontline roles and more.

If Indeed is working great for you, you don't need us. We do the roles that keep you awake at night.

We're a good match if:

  • You have ongoing hiring needs or high turnover
  • You can contact and follow up with applicants fast
  • You have a healthy workplace culture
  • You prefer results over time-wasting meetings
  • You want a real partner, not an order-taker

For best results, you need a competitive job offer. Even more important is that your employees feel respected and treated well. Salary alone rarely decides everything. But if your pay is low AND your culture is poor, we can't fix that with ads.

And if it takes you 5 days to call an applicant, don't hire us. You'll be wasting your money and our time. Speed is the only way this works.

Who we are

A small team with one clear focus

Leads4Talent is a social media recruiting agency specialized in one thing: building hiring pipelines for hard-to-fill roles. That's it. We're not a full-service marketing agency trying to do everything. Our entire focus is on roles that stay open too long because job boards don't deliver the best candidates.

Our philosophy: keep it simple

We don't have fancy offices. We don't care about creative awards. And we definitely don't waste your time with status meetings that could have been an email. We're a remote team working from different places around the world. Not from the beach with a cocktail. Just from wherever we can focus and do good work. Our rule is: keep things straightforward. That means simple pricing, simple communication and simple systems. No complicated setups, no agency buzzwords, no bloated reports.

Frequently asked questions

How is this better than posting jobs on Indeed?

Indeed shows your job to people who are actively looking for work. That's a small part of the talent market, roughly 20%. Our campaigns reach the other 80% while they scroll social media.

These are often better candidates and open to a change if approached correctly. And when they apply, they apply to you, not to 30 other companies at the same time. More attention. Less competition. Less junk.

What if job boards already work for us?

Then you probably don't need us and we'll tell you that honestly. We're not here to fix what isn't broken. We're here for hard-to-fill roles that stay open too long or attract too many low-quality applicants. If job boards already bring you plenty of qualified candidates and you can fill roles quickly, stick with it. If not, that's exactly the problem we solve.

That said, the best candidates are rarely on job boards. If you want better quality on top of what you're already getting, we can help with that too.

How is this different from a recruitment agency?

Traditional agencies charge 15-20% of annual salary per hire. For example, on a $50k role that's $7,500-$10,000 every single time you hire someone.

We work differently. You pay a flat monthly fee plus your ad spend and hire as many people as you want. No placement fees. No per-hire costs. Ever. We build and manage the pipeline and deliver pre-qualified candidates continuously. One hire alone saves you thousands in agency fees. That's often more than what our service costs for an entire year. And the more you hire, the better the value.

What are the total costs we can expect?

There are two parts: our flat monthly service fee and your ad spend.

The service fee is $888/month for the Start plan (1 active job campaign) or $2,500/month for the Grow plan (up to 5 active job campaigns). Fixed and predictable.

Ad spend is variable, but usually lands somewhere in the $300-600/month range per campaign on top of the service fee. It's paid directly to the ad platform (Meta). It doesn't go through us and we never mark it up.

That's it. Full transparency on your total costs. Chances are you're already spending a similar amount on job boards. Spend it better.

How much ad budget do we need?

Most campaigns run well on a few hundred dollars per month, especially as we optimize over time. The typical starting range is $10-30 per day per campaign, usually on the lower end. But the exact amount depends on the role, location, how competitive your job offer is and how many applicants you need.

If you need to move faster, we can increase the budget. If things slow down, we can reduce it. You always stay in full control of your ad spend.

Which plan should we start with?

You don't have a choice actually. All new clients begin on the Start plan, no exceptions. That way, you can see how well our application funnels work for you before committing to more.

The Start plan covers one active campaign, and since you can swap roles or locations anytime, it's maybe all you'll ever need. We don't believe in upselling you before you've seen results. Try it first. And if you want to add more campaigns later, upgrading to the Grow plan takes one email. Simple as that.

How quickly will we start getting applicants?

Fast. Once onboarding is complete, we try to build and launch your campaign within 2-3 days. First applicants usually start to come in within 48 hours after the campaign goes live. It also depends on the role, location and ad budget.

Volume typically grows over the first few weeks as the algorithm learns what works best for your role and location. From there, our job is to keep optimizing and deliver a consistent flow of applicants every month.

How much time will this take on our end?

Very little. You fill out our onboarding form, join one kickoff call (30-60 minutes) and approve the campaign before we launch. After that, your main job is responding to applicants fast, interviewing them and deciding who to hire. All things you'd do anyway.

We handle everything else: the full application funnel, including strategy, ads, landing pages, pre-qualification quiz, optimization and ongoing management. No unnecessary meetings, no bloated reports, no campaigns to babysit. Just follow up fast. Speed matters a lot here.

Do you replace our internal recruitment team?

No. The opposite actually. We work best with companies that already have recruiters or HR staff who can call applicants and move them through the hiring process. Think of us as the engine that feeds your team with a steady flow of good and interested applicants.

Instead of spending hours posting jobs and sorting through unqualified leads, your recruiters can focus on what they do best: talking to people, interviewing and hiring. We don't replace recruiters. We make their job easier and more productive.

Do you guarantee a certain number of hires?

No. But we do promise to build and manage the strongest campaign possible for your role. Actual hires depend on factors outside our control, such as your job offer, company culture and how quickly you follow up with candidates.

We build the pipeline, but contacting, interviewing and hiring is your side of the deal. We'll always be upfront about what's working and what can be improved. And since our service is month-to-month, you can walk away easily if you're not happy.

Can we change the role or location later?

Yes. You can swap your active campaign to a different role or area at any time if your hiring needs change. If you fill a role, we simply switch to the next one.

For example, if you're hiring a nurse in Miami and fill that role, we can switch the campaign to your physical therapist role in Tampa instead. No extra fees. Just let us know and allow a short setup period while we build the new campaign.

Do the ads run from our company's ad account?

Yes. Unlike many marketing agencies and most DIY tools, we run everything under your own Meta Business Manager, your own ad account and your own Facebook page. Your data, your pixel and your assets stay in your name. You own everything and keep full control at all times.

That's the correct way to do it. Running ads from your own company page also builds more trust with candidates than using a generic third-party page. We simply request partner access so we can manage the ads for you.

Your best candidates are scrolling Facebook right now. Let's go get them

You can keep fighting over the same desperate job seekers on Indeed. Or you can reach the people your competitors never do.

We build and manage the campaigns. You talk to applicants and hire.
