Google Ads for Recruiting — Attract Better Candidates Faster with BERK Labs

Hiring the right people shouldn’t depend on chance. With Google Ads for recruiting, BERK Labs helps recruitment firms, HR teams, and staffing agencies attract qualified candidates exactly when they’re searching for their next role. Our campaigns combine precision targeting, persuasive ad copy, and smart optimization to reduce cost per applicant and fill roles faster.

Why Google Ads for Recruiting Works

Reaching the Right Candidates at the Right Time

Active job seekers search for roles like “marketing manager jobs” or “remote software developer positions.” With Google Ads for recruiters, your postings appear at the top of those searches — directly connecting you with qualified talent that’s ready to apply.

Passive candidates are just as valuable. Through Display and Discovery campaigns, we help keep your brand in front of professionals browsing YouTube or news sites, keeping your company or client top of mind when they decide to move.

Transparent Cost and Real-Time Results

Every click is trackable. You’ll know exactly which ads, keywords, and landing pages drive applications. We use this data to refine campaigns weekly, reducing wasted spend and improving the quality of applicants over time.

Recruitment That Scales

As roles open and close, your ad campaigns can scale instantly — no waiting for SEO or job boards to refresh. Whether you’re hiring five people or fifty, Google Ads for recruiting can adjust to your hiring volume with precision targeting by role, location, or skill set.

How BERK Labs Builds Google Ads Campaigns for Recruiters

Search Campaigns That Capture Intent

We start by identifying high-intent keywords that real candidates search daily. This includes variations around role, location, and employment type — for example:

  • “Project manager jobs Chicago”

  • “Remote software engineer positions”

  • “Hiring warehouse workers near me”

By grouping these into tightly themed ad sets, we make sure your ads stay relevant and your cost per click remains low.

Display and Discovery for Employer Branding

Some of your best candidates aren’t actively looking. That’s where Display and Discovery campaigns come in. With compelling visuals and brand messaging, we reach passive professionals across the Google Network, reminding them that better opportunities exist.

Remarketing to Re-Engage Candidates

Many qualified visitors view job listings without applying. Our remarketing campaigns re-engage these users with gentle reminders — ads that say, “Still thinking about joining us?” or “Your next opportunity could be closer than you think.” This helps increase conversions and keep your talent pipeline full.

Ad Copy That Converts

We write clear, honest ads that reflect the real opportunity — not vague promises. Each ad highlights job benefits, culture, or unique value, encouraging candidates to act. Examples:

  • “Join a fast-growing SaaS company as a Senior Account Executive.”

  • “Flexible remote roles with growth potential — apply today.”
    We also add sitelinks, location extensions, and callout extensions to make your ads more visible and useful.

Optimized Landing Pages

A job ad is only as good as the page it leads to. We design and optimize landing pages that load fast, highlight the job details, and make it easy to apply. Whether your goal is direct applications or recruiter call bookings, the path to conversion is clear and frictionless.
