Podcast-style ads for recruiting on TikTok
Podcast-style ads on TikTok give recruiting brands full message control in 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 TikTok specifically, the conversational format earns higher watch time than studio shoots.
