Case Study: Leidos achieves lower cost-per-applicant and 100+ cleared candidates in 6 months with Appcast

Leidos & Appcast Partner to Reach Highly Qualified Clearance Talent

Leidos, a global science and technology solutions firm, needed a flexible digital recruiting solution to build a steady pipeline across thousands of roles—especially hard-to-fill positions requiring U.S. security clearances. Their challenge was targeting highly qualified cleared talent at scale while managing spend and measuring true return on advertising.

By partnering with Appcast’s programmatic recruitment advertising, Leidos ran targeted, pay-per-applicant campaigns with advanced reporting and budget controls to find the pricing and quantity sweet spot. The result: lower cost-per-applicant than leading clearance job boards and more than 100 qualified clearance candidates interviewed in six months, with hires possessing required secret and top-secret experience.
