Context
Developed a scalable recruiting system focused on generating qualified applicants for businesses using paid social and funnel-based strategies.
The project involved building a complete recruiting system — from ad strategy and funnel setup to a conversion-focused website that clearly communicates the offer and drives applications.
A performance-driven recruiting system can solve low application volume and poor lead quality in traditional campaigns.
Role
Marketing & Funnel Strategy
Timeline
20 Weeks
Core features
Funnel-based recruiting (ads → landing page → application) instead of traditional job ads
Paid social ad campaigns (Meta, LinkedIn & TikTok)
Automated applicant pre-qualification
Continuous testing and optimization
Website & Conversion Layer
Built a conversion-focused website to clearly communicate the employer value proposition and guide users seamlessly into the recruiting funnel.
The website acted as the central conversion layer, aligning messaging, structure and user flow with the recruiting funnel to maximize application rates.
Clear and structured service positioning with B2B approach
Conversion-driven layout and CTAs
Mobile-first user experience
Funnel-aligned messaging
