TV Commercials for recruiting brands on Pinterest
TV Commercials on Pinterest offers massive reach and brand awareness and premium production quality. For recruiting products like job application campaigns, this can work — but extremely expensive production and media buy and no direct response tracking.
Podcast-style ads for recruiting on Pinterest
Podcast-style ads on Pinterest give recruiting brands full message control in 1:1 and 9:16, 15–60s format. Passive candidates will not click a job ad, but they will listen to a compelling story about a company's culture and mission. Podcast-style ads reach talent in their commute and workout, painting a picture of what working there actually feels like. On Pinterest specifically, the conversational format earns higher watch time than tv commercials.
