Media Partnerships two colleagues working together

With so many companies competing for top talent in North America, recruitment media marketing has to do more than make noise. It needs to cut through, connect, and convert.

For employers, that means looking beyond the traditional media playbook and embracing a strategy built on flexibility, innovation, and performance. It’s why partnering with a full-service, vendor-agnostic agency can give organizations a meaningful edge in attracting and converting high-quality candidates.

We Don’t Sell Media. We Build Solutions.

As an agency that prides itself of having a high level of independence, we aren’t tied to a single media platform or constrained by predefined media partnerships. That independence is intentional – it allows us to focus 100% on designing the right strategy for your unique hiring goals.

But being agnostic doesn’t mean starting from scratch. On the contrary, we’ve cultivated deep media partnerships with a wide range of established and emerging media vendors – from programmatic platforms like StackAdapt and Joveo and performance-based job boards such as Indeed to social and niche talent networks including LinkedIn and Stack Overflow.

This means you get access to the best talent attraction tools on the market – and sometimes, before anyone else.

First to Market. First to Benefit.

One of the most exciting advantages of our model is the ability to bring first-to-market opportunities to our clients.

We believe in staying ahead of the curve – this doesn’t just mean keeping pace with emerging recruitment technologies but helping to shape them as well. Our close relationship with both new and established media vendors mean we spot innovations first and bring them to our clients. Whether it’s a breakthrough platform or a new format, we’re committed to introducing ‘what’s next’, before it becomes the norm.

For you, that could mean early access to:

  • Undiscovered talent pools
  • New targeting capabilities
  • More favorable pricing models
  • Exclusive pilot programs or beta tests

In a crowded job market, being first matters. It gives you a head start in reaching talent your competitors haven’t yet identified – and often at a lower cost before demand drives up pricing.

What You Get from This Model

When you work with an agency that’s both supplier-agnostic and deeply partner-connected, here’s what you can expect:

  • Strategic objectivity: We recommend the media that’s right for your audience – not what’s right for our bottom line.
  • Tailored campaign design: Whether you’re hiring at scale or looking for niche talent, we shape your strategy around performance, not guesswork.
  • Enhanced buying power: Our partnerships often give us (and you) access to negotiated rates, added-value inventory, and preferential placements.
  • Agility to market: We move quickly. Our vendor relationships often allow us to fast-track campaign setup and launch, especially for pilot programs.
  • Innovation baked in: We’re always exploring what’s next in recruitment marketing – so you don’t have to.

Built for What’s Next

Recruitment marketing is evolving fast. To stay ahead, you need partners who aren’t just keeping up – but pushing forward.

By working with an agency like us, you’re not limited by a rigid roster of providers or legacy solutions. You gain access to a constantly evolving network of media partners, tools, and technologies – curated to deliver results, not just reach.

It’s a model built on objectivity, agility, and innovation. One that puts your goals at the center and adapts as your needs, audiences, and ambitions change.

Whether you’re hiring for today or planning for tomorrow, we’re here to help you think smarter, move faster, and reach further – because in this market, flexibility isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a competitive advantage.
