Often cheaper than going direct.
Paid placements purchase through Join with no markup. On many boards, the price is actually lower than buying direct, because Join pre-buys inventory in bulk and passes the volume discount through to you. Indeed Sponsored, LinkedIn Sponsored, StepStone paid slots: same product, same delivery, sometimes cheaper.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Paid job ads that work like a budget, not a contract.
Per-role budget caps
Cap spend per role. Once the budget hits zero, paid placements pause automatically. No surprise invoices.
Allocate manually or automatically
Pick the split yourself (60% Indeed, 40% LinkedIn) or let Join auto-optimise daily based on which boards send applicants for that role family.
Auto-pause poor performers
Join's allocation logic pauses spend on underperforming boards within 24 hours and redirects the budget toward boards that are converting.
Cost-per-applicant + cost-per-hire per board
Every applicant carries its source; every spend dollar tracks back. The dashboard breaks down CPA and CPH per board so you keep paying for what works.
Programmatic job advertising FAQ
What's the difference between multiposting and programmatic job advertising?
Multiposting distributes your job ad to the 15 free boards for free. The listings stay live for the standard duration, no spend required. Programmatic advertising adds paid placements on top: Indeed Sponsored, LinkedIn Sponsored, StepStone paid slots, and 250+ regional boards. You set a per-role budget, Join splits spend across boards based on which ones return hires, and you stop paying when the budget runs out.
How is the budget split across boards?
You choose per role. Manual: set the split yourself (say 60% Indeed, 40% LinkedIn) and it stays fixed until you change it. Auto-optimise: Join splits spend daily based on each board's historical performance for that role family (cost-per-applicant, interview pass-rate, cost-per-hire) and shifts budget toward the boards returning hires.
What are managed campaigns?
For roles that are hard to fill (niche skills, tough markets, time-critical hires), Join's managed-campaigns team takes over the campaign build and daily tuning. You set a CPA target; Join commits to hitting it. The team handles creative, board mix, and bidding; you stay in the dashboard. Useful when your TA team is small or the role is strategic enough to pay for hands-on management.
Does Join take a cut of the ad spend?
No markup, and often a discount. Paid placements purchase through Join at the board's standard rate or lower: Join pre-buys inventory in bulk on many boards (Indeed Sponsored, LinkedIn Sponsored, StepStone, regional boards) and passes the volume discount through to customers. You see exactly what the board charged and exactly what it returned.
Can I run paid ads on niche or regional boards?
Yes. Join's paid network covers 250+ regional and niche boards across Europe: local-language boards, industry-specific boards, country-specific platforms. Tell us your hiring market and Join will pick the boards that fit.
What happens if a paid board isn't returning applicants?
Join's allocation logic spots the under-performance and pauses spend on that board within 24 hours, moving the budget to boards that are converting. You also get a notification so you can investigate the root cause (typically: job title mismatch, board geo mismatch, or salary expectation gap).
