WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?

Putting people to workFilling jobs


Neither of which ‘programmatic’ directly solves for.


Programmatic ad buying is the use of software and

technology to automate, at scale, the buying and

consumption of media.


Programmatic is solving two big problems in consumer advertising…


#1: PROCESS AUTOMATION

RFPsInsertion orders

Pricing negotiationsAny back-and-forth between buyer and

seller


Meh. Process efficiency is not our biggest problem.


#2: ADVERTISING EFFICIENCY

– John Wanamaker– Henry Ford– J.C. Penney– William Hesketh Lever

“Half my advertising is wasted, I just don't know which half.”

DIRECT Response


The right ad…To the right user…At the right time…

In the right context…At the right price.


And do it all in real-time!


Sort of…


Programmatic is really just a means to an end.


The end goal is to sell more stuff.Or in our case, hire more people.


This requires…

Wait for it… Marketing!


YOUR NEW #1 FOCUS: MARKETING


This is a job post.This is not a good

job ad.


This is a common application experience.

It’s worse on a phone.


Let us count the problems.

We are still trying to punch the monkey.


Good news: there’s lots of low hanging fruit


First, we must start to think like digital marketers.


Know when to STOP spending


Be vigilant about attribution and measurement


Demand more from your ATS


When we have done all of this, then we can talk about programmatic.


Media has some work to do.


Search: “tell me what you think you want to do”


Some companies are flipping that model upside down


Which will give them great native advertising inventory to sell


Real-time bidding and search engines haven’t played nicely.


Free tip of the week: Frequency cappinghttp://adexchanger.com/data-driven-thinking/everything-know-frequency-wrong/

Other things we need to fix:

Buyers are blind to impressions & ad-level CTRLack of standards for measurement (e.g. impressions,

clicks, hires)Lack of feedback from the ATS to the buying process


When we have done all of this, then we can talk about programmatic.


Because programmatic is really just a means to an end.

Counting ClicksThe Technical Issues That Drive Complexity For

Programmatic Buying On Job Ads

VP Product


About Me• 8 years building recruiting

technology (PeopleAhead, Monster, Appcast).

• Quoted in numerous startup & recruiting publications.– @tomchevalier on Twitter– https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomaschevalier

• Part of the team that has won the HR Tech ‘Product Of The Year’ on 2 different occasions.

• Killed just one startup (so far).


Counting Clicks

• Why it matters• Recruiting vs. advertising• Learning to count• What’s next


Who Cares?


Let’s say an employer has $300…


90’s – Newspaper job ad

• It was about potential.


00’s – Online job ad

• It was about potential.


Today – Pay-per-click job ad

• It’s about performance.


Today – Pay-per-click job ad

• Advertiser only paysif clicks are delivered

• Publisher only makesmoney if clicks are delivered


Today’s Job Advertising

Analytics, Marketing Funnels (supply/demand), Data Science


Job advertising looks a lot like other digital

advertising.


And it’s increasingly programmatic.

55% of 2015 display media is programmatic1

1Source: eMarketer, October 2014


So, counting clicks is important.

Simple, right?


Counting clicks should be simple.

In job ads, 1 + 1 = WTF?!?


What is a click?


What is a click?

• Or something else?– Ad Tags (Doubleclick, Atlas)– Purpose-built tracking (Clickcast,

Recruitics, eQuest)– ATS Source Reports


What counts?


What counts?

Not all clicks are created equal

Job Board Search Results ATS Job ViewJob Board Search Results Job Board Hosted ViewJob Board Search Results Email CaptureJob Board Search Results Talent Community


Who counts?


Do we pay/charge for:

• Robots– Bots & Spiders

– 39% of job adtraffic comesfrom robots1

1Source: Clickcast internal data; June 2015



• Latent Traffic– Email/Network



• Duplicates– Quick succession– Highly active users



• International– relocation or

fraud pattern?


How much?


What’s the bid model?• Fixed: “I will charge/pay $1.00 per

click”

vs

• Market: “I will charge/pay up to $1.00 per click”


How are bids made?

• Manual (Phone/email/portal)

vs

• Programmatic (feed/API)


Where will the ad go?

• Desktop vs. Mobile• Sponsored vs. inline• On-site vs. network


Recap: with clicks, it all matters

• Tracking/reporting• Workflow• Who counts• Bid model• Placement


And just when we think we’re getting the hang of

it…


…There’s more complexity coming

• Mobile Apps• Apply With / Candidate APIs• Helper bots• Attribution–Window– Contribution (first click, last click,

shared)


Phew!


Break Out Sessions• Technical Track

– Discussion of the technical challenges for accurate click and bid measurement within the community.

– Leaders: Tom & Alex– Who Should Attend: Publishers who want to tap into programmatic

networks. Publishers who want to start to join a consortium to start defining industry standards on the fundamentals of ad performance measurement.

• Market/Business Issues– Discussion of the market and business challenges/conflicts in the

move to a ‘programmatic approach’ in jobs. – Leaders: Chris & Matt– Who Should Attend: Publishers/Agencies/employers & employers

who want to tap into programmatic networks and want to discuss the pros & cons.
