Paid Media Support vs. LinkedIn Jobs

LinkedIn is where you go to broadcast a role to 1 billion people, 99.97% of whom can't run a paid social account. We are where you go when you actually need to hire one.

Stop screening 400 strangers

LinkedIn's value is reach; its cost is signal-to-noise. A "Paid Social Manager" role on LinkedIn routinely surfaces 300–500 applicants with 10–15% qualification rate. The hidden cost is the 20–40 hours of recruiter or hiring-manager screening to find the actual operators. Paid Media Support inverts that math.

Spend goes to the listing, not the auction

LinkedIn's cost-per-click model means your hiring budget is competing with every other recruiter's in the same auction. We charge a flat listing fee and the audience is pre-segmented by interest, not bidding density.

A community, not a feed

LinkedIn jobs are a database. Paid Media Support is a database wrapped in a weekly newsletter operators actually open. Your listing isn't just searchable — it's delivered.
