Case Study: Hired achieves 3X growth across advertising channels and 30% lower cost per lead with AdStage

Hired achieved 3X growth on all advertising channels and decreased cost per lead by 30%, using AdStage to understand the ROI across networks and allocate budgets more efficiently

Hired, the largest marketplace for recruiting startup and tech talent, needed to scale its LinkedIn advertising but a two-person marketing team was hamstrung by LinkedIn’s native interface — slow workflows, frequent lockouts, and manual spreadsheet work made campaign setup at scale impractical.

By using AdStage — the only platform supporting both LinkedIn Text Ads and Sponsored Updates — Hired could bulk duplicate and edit campaigns and view cross-network ROI in near real time, reallocating budgets to top performers. The result: 3X growth across advertising channels, a 30% drop in cost per lead within a month, 50% less time spent creating ads and reporting, and the ability to scale programs across Google, Bing, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter without adding headcount.
