What is a job ad exchange?
Candidates are all over the web – shouldn’t your job ads be too? A job ad exchange is your gateway to thousands of job sites (30k in our case!) so your jobs are in front of all qualified candidates.
Background
A history of job ad exchanges
The first consumer ad exchanges appeared in the late 1990s and allowed companies to bid for ad space across multiple websites via a single platform…using real-time data to optimize performance.
The early team at Appcast saw an opportunity to use the concept of an ad exchange to simplify and improve recruitment advertising. And thus – the job ad exchange was born.
Better Candidate Reach
How is a job ad exchange different from using job boards?
Instead of a stand-alone job board – a job ad exchange contains thousands of job boards, sites, and sources visited by job seekers. This means you no longer have to get your job board mix ‘just right’; the tech does the hard work for you.

Why does data matter?
At Appcast, data powers everything we do
Data illuminates what works, where, and why. It also tells you how recruiting in one location, even for the same job, can be ‘night and day’ different.
