Recruitment is tough enough without wasted spend. Rising job board costs, growing competition for talent, and candidate drop-offs mean many teams are paying more but getting less.
That’s where smarter partnerships make the difference.
At Artfully, we work closely with platforms like Indeed to help our clients cut through the noise and turn ad spend into measurable results. And when the right strategy meets the right platform, the impact can be game-changing.
Hands-on strategy, not “set and forget”
What sets Artfully apart is how we work. Instead of simply running campaigns, we act as an extension of both the client’s team and Indeed’s account support.
That means:
- Digging deep into the data – understanding where spend is really working and where it’s being wasted
- Adding controls and visibility – making sure spend-per-job is tracked, benchmarked, and optimised
- Driving client buy-in – ensuring teams understand the why behind every change and can see the proof of concept in real time
This isn’t about throwing more money at the problem. It’s about building confidence in a strategy that works – one that’s measurable, transparent, and designed for scale.
The results speak for themselves
For one client in a highly competitive sector, the shift in approach unlocked dramatic improvements:
- Placements increased by 36%
- Teacher-specific placements surged 425%
- Cost per placement dropped by 62%
- ROI delivered between 6x and 7.6x depending on placement type
And these weren’t one-off wins. Even as investment grew, efficiency improved, proof that with the right strategy, scaling spend doesn’t have to mean scaling cost per hire.
What Indeed says about working with Artfully
“Artfully has provided an exceptional level of service… acting as an extension of Indeed’s account team and driving the implementation of better controls over spend per job. Their planning, reporting and proof of concept have transformed client engagement and massively increased output.”
– Dan Prewitt, Senior National Account Manager, Indeed
The bigger picture
Job boards like Indeed are still one of the most powerful ways to reach active talent — but only if you know how to use them. Without the right strategy, it’s easy to overspend and under-deliver.
That’s why Artfully partners with both clients and platforms to:
✔️ Improve campaign ROI with smarter spend controls
✔️ Optimise ads early and often to catch issues before they cost you
✔️ Build client confidence through clear, transparent reporting
✔️ Scale hiring without inflating cost per hire
