10x More Candidates

Social media agency Riotly Social struggled with getting enough candidates for their job openings. Typically they'd be stuck at 20-30 candidates per listing. We skyrocketed their candidate numbers 10x, getting them 200 candidates in 3 weeks. Plus, the candidates were better qualified for the jobs.

The Challenge

Posting job openings is expensive, and didn't yield enough candidates

Riotly Social’s pain point was to get a large number of candidates to apply for their jobs. Despite spending $300-400 on promoting their listings, they consistently only received 20-30 candidates per position.

Ending up with such a small candidate pool after 1-2 months wasn’t worth it. Riotly Social needed a more efficient way to attract a larger number of candidates. That's when they found us.

“Getting in front of the right candidates is tough. LinkedIn is expensive, job boards have a lower quality, and it all takes a long time.”

The Solution

Riotly Social used us to fill their Backend Engineer role. They set up their first skills test based on the skills needed for the role, and started promoting the test on Facebook.

This allowed them to access passive candidates, for a cheaper price (Facebook is a comparatively low-cost platform to advertise on), with an engaging skills test instead of requiring stuffy resumes and cover letters.

The Results

With few candidates comes limited choice for a hire. By increasing Riotly Social's candidate pool 10x, the overall quality of candidates significantly improved too.
